It's the time of year that I get roped into set building again. This year the production is Grease, and I was asked if I'd like to make the front half of a car. Yeah OK. Thoughts along the line of fabricating something from scratch were dismissed when I discovered that a full GRP flip front from Honeybourn mouldings was actually reasonably priced - just under £250, other now fronts had been loads more. I couldn't find a second hand one anywhere.
So one Morris Minor flip front purchased - it is afterall a 2/3 scale 40's yank! and a couple of 5.5 slots and I have the bare bones of the project.
I'll be extending the "doors" with flexible MDF. the whole thing will be mountyed on a frame on castors so that it can be move around the set. Some sort of Duvall style windscreen will be created.
I'll keep the updates comming as more progress is made.
