44d: I took a little extra time and care to make sure
that the center rib was square with the body. All
of the other ribs will be built off of this one. After
studying the photos, I came up with a spacing of
9” between the ribs because it gave me the closest
appearance to that in the photograph of 75893.
Once all of the ribs had been placed on both sets
of ends, I filed down the 4” x 4” to the height of the
ribs on the car.
Now it was time to do the tapers. Before beginning,
I placed masking tape along the line that located
the beginning of the tapers. I figured that the tape
would do a better job of keeping the file where I
wanted it than just a pencil line.
