Sixties Sam Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Looks great! The interior is incredible! Good work! I just got that kit, but it won't look as good as yours. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Great looking interior. Really nice detail.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemiles22 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Finally got the frame masked off and painted black and added some of the suspension parts with home made springs. Added a little bit of chalk for a slightly weathered look too. I used the stock tires and wheels, painted them the body color and a little bit of dull coat to knock the shine down. Also a quick picture of a mock up with the body, thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenrat Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Nice. I had to trim the bottom of the windscreen to get the interior tub to sit right and mount the engine as far forward as it would go. If I didn't do that then it all still fitted together but the wheels were to far forward in the wheel arches. You've obviously checked it all fits right before gluing in the "glass" yes?

Bluemiles22 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 No but the glass will pop right out without a problem if I need to trim it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
