Follow along and let’s get the roof back on top of this Electra!!

Been following this tutorial and I'm hooked. I'll be back, same bat channel, same bat time!
Holy WOW Batman, did you see the roof come off of that car??
Same Bat gear!!!
I really hate how easy you make this look dad. Haha great video!!!
Well ya see my son??? It can be that easy!!!!! LOL
Thanks Bud, glad ya proded me into doing this,, See ya Saturday!!!
Water or even spit sets up super glue pretty fast. No joke. Try it, it really works.
May have to try that!! lol
Will be watching the next tutorial....
Thank ya Bob!
I find if you have a lot of wooden coffee stirrers and ice lolly (popsicle) sticks you can get the roof on straight and level then hold it there while glue dries.
I’ll also always do a stepped joint for strength.
That is a good idea, I don't haver any popsicle sticks but may have to. I usually work with what I have... Thanks for the tip!!
@@DocsKustomKorner52 oddly enough I also find wooden blocks from Yenga work but you can also try stacking coins if you can get them to balance or tap washers bolted together. Basically anything that has a set uniform width and can be stacked 😉
@@CycolacFan So true!! Lego blocks even.
I use tape to model my body work it helps alot.
Excellent how-to. Thanks for taking the time. Dave
Welcome to you and all!!
Very Informative Doc, looking Forward to Next Week. "Pot Belly's" Coming Along Nicely Too !!! Thanks For Sharing n God Bless All.

@@RJDCR Kool beans
I really appreciate the info from your videos, I was wondering where would you be able to get the spray glue from I think that I would like to use something like that...
Great tutorial Doc. This is so cool, Ron
Glad you're enjoying it Ron
What I've done in the past cause I had a broken roof I put bathroom cups underneath to hold everything level to glue things. What would have been cool is where front and rear are put clear piece there. The baret use is very nice idea!
I know people will find what works best for them as you have David.. Kool idea too by the way!!
Well, I guess gorilla glue and accelerator are going on my shopping list - I've been working with liquid weld... and that stuff never wants to setup
Another GREAT one Doc.....
Thanks....👍👍😎
what about a plastic bottle for a window for your truck
You could do that, I've found that using a bottle though it has a bit of distortion when it flattens out. I like to try using kit glass as much as possible and have used a bottle or two in a pinch..
Wonderful set of tutorials. Thanks for posting these.
You betcha!! Thanks for watching
Learning a lot of things here. I keep thinking about the body I have to chop when watching. It is too bad we can't share photos here. [I'm chopping a 1930 Ford model A.]
I have to say, you're doing great knowing how difficult it is to chop any body, much less do it around a camera! Awesome sauce!
Glad you're learning some things from what I do, everyone else too!! That's why my son thought it was a good opportunity for my doing this!!
It is tricky working around the camera for sure but making it work well!!
Where do you get the plastic food the filler pieces ?
👍👍
By the way. I've never chucked a model across the room. Too much of a chance to break something else. lol
Just gotta have better aim!!! LOL, I've never broken anything else other than what was intended!!! HA ha ha ha lol,,,
