This has to be the fastest I've ever disassembled a car!
 I'm overly impressed with this model as far as accuracy and details. So now that its torn down, time to get it primed. The best part is the 3D scanning guy can make a CAD file for the dash along with the ever important windshield frame to ensure correct dimensions. Cheers  Dave

A quick scuff with some Scotchbrite and a light dusting of 4:1:1 primer/ sealer, and we're ready to meet with the 3D scanning guy tomorrow! More to come....
Cheers Dave

The meeting today was a complete success and Mike is just about as excited as I am to see the completed body buck!
 Due to the holidays coming up, I probably won’t have the CAD file until Mid January. I’m also working with a CNC company that will router out the panels. Mike and I will finalize the end design with a few keels along the longitudinal axis that will keep the buck straight during assembly and also aid in panel formation. The 3D scanning technology is amazing.  Time to jump back in the other projects while this moves forward! Cheers Dave

The scan is done and it's moving forward to dividing the model into stations now. Woohoo!
 Cheers Dave

Dave,
First I want to commend you for taking on such an endeavor. This is pretty awesome and I am really enjoying following along. If you are on Instagram you may want to follow Runge Cars. Although he solely works with Porsche designs, you may get some inspiration and tips on the buck building and body work/assembly. Thanks for taking us along on this ride. Marty

Hi Marty,
I’m not on Instagram, but I’ve been scouring the net for everything related to this build and watching videos of metal forming, etc. I’m going to start a video build and post up here shortly, which I think will be fun for everyone especially me!   It’s a daunting task but it’s also going to be so much fun! Rewarding? Of course. Frustrating? Absolutely! But it’s sure to be challenging to not only my skills, but my patience and wallet!  More to come...they’re almost done with the CAD design. The latest email showed me the placement of the body buck stations as well as the stringers that will run longitudinally down the body. Think old-school style Gullows balsa wood model plane. More to come.... Cheers Dave Last edited by A12pilot; 01-15-2020 at 12:19 AM.

... and this is what I mean!
 I got this email yesterday and it's identical to what I envisioned. I think we're pretty close to being done with the CAD work and then it's onto getting it sent over to the CNC company to router out the design in 3/4" plywood. I acquired some NOS Mercedes bullet style turn signal lenses and a few other small parts. Coming along nicely! I hope to have the body buck assembled in March and should be in paint by June   Cheers Dave

Paint by June? What's taking so long? You are Super Dave! You are faster than a speeding English wheel, more powerful than a planishing hammer, able to leap a 2 post car lift in a single bound!
