There's one out there called the hold and fold. I've heard a lot of great things about it. Tim Fortunately I followed that advice and got one already, folding is the easy part, picking up really tiny pieces of metal (and not dropping or breaking them) is where it gets tricky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I've always had a hard time getting the PE to hold using superglue. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim I used the gel glue, which gave me a little bit more time to manipulate the PE before it stuck, but then applied pressure for a solid 30 seconds or so after I got it lined up. I only had one piece not stick and it was because I used hardly any glue, easy fix, add more glue and stick it back on. Hopefully the rest of the build goes as smooth (I doubt it but here's hoping) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crushkill Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Got a little bit of work in tonight, next big step is the seats, trying to figure out how I'm going to do them, kit parts, the full PE set or a mashup. Finished the center console, not perfect, but a significant improvement over the kit parts. Next I added the rear bulkhead and some of the engine bay parts. Not too much progress this week, but work has been crazy, hopefully I'll make better progress next week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
