chris coller Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) Alright now that I have the more than one photo post thing squared away. Here are some pics of my favorite sprint car drivers 08 Sprint car and a list of pieces and parts I used. Updated the chassis with styrene rod Photo etch sprint car detail set from MAS also MAS nitrious solenoids for the temp and oil gauges RB Motion rod ends for radius rods and shocks all held together with bolts from RB Motion Headers, wheels and tires from the Parts Box Body panels scratch built from sheet styrene with a nascar style racing seat that will have a racing harness put into it Scratch built oil tank from K&S tubing and sheet metal with detail master straps Braided line from Pro Tech, fittings from Detail Master with crimp beads for the lock collars Now the only thing that sucks is everything is matte black so it is hard to pick out detail. Hopefully the folks that attend the NNL EAST will get to see the finished project. That is my goal as I have a few other projects to get done some will be posted on here. Thanks for viewing!

Bernard Kron Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Nice chassis. very finely done. I like the steering arm, too. Are you scratch building this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris coller Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Yeah most of it. I did use most of the original chassis jaust added on the down tubes and front bracing. As you see it is WIP with some distance to go but being laid off helps a bit with time. Now the tricky part ........ahhhh the cash to get what I need to finish the dang thing!

billd64 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 a problem many of us encounter, hence why many started projects, or projects printed as is not as we mentally thought i used to work a side job just for my models, and my ex was annoyed that i focused there, vs a bar regularly.... my theory was i had something to show for it when done, instead of unpaid bills or headaches physically or otherwise nice build, wish i had similar skills bill Yeah most of it.

MADmodelDOCTOR Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Photo etch sprint car detail set from MAS Is this something new or old from MAS ? Is it still available ? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris coller Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Yup, it isn't on the website. You have to contact Terry for this. Also sells them on ebay under customsbyterry. Sets start at $20 or $22. Or if you do a search on ebay for sprint car and go to models it should show up there. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
