  1. This is my Honda Repsol Motorcycle. This took about six months to build and lots of paint work. This is my first motorcycle and was a blast to build.
  2. Nice general I built a really detailed one a few years ago. I did everything your doing with the front grill. I cut it out and sent the grill out to be rechromed. I scratch built a correct push bar for it as well. Yours is looking good so far.
  3. I use Model master ford color Go Mango it's really close to the orange used.
  4. Nick, I built on of Randy's 70 Cuda conversions for my Swede Savage build and it was really nice. I'm in the process of building another for a friend and I'm interested in buying another though he does not have it listed on the web anymore. Does he make this kit? Again I called and emailed and never got a return from him. One of my friends Bud Lefever was friends with Randy and I was able to get the resin I needed just by asking Bud. Now since buds passing in 2009 I havent had any luck. Matt
  5. I used the tires from the Fujimi kit because the tires in the revell kit are like 4x4 mud tires. I actually threw those away because I would never use them on anything. Since I bought the factory Hiro wheels and tires for the Fujimi kit I could use them on my Ferrari.
  6. Thanks, Yep, As these are going to have a speration in the center you will have two up front and the rest in the back. Stagger all spokes so that they don't line up with one another. I used {Pro-tech valve stems because the ones that come with these wheels require you to drill the rim to fit. These rims are waaay too tough to drill with a hand drill. Pro-tech stems are flat on one end and are easy to place and install. These wheels are very nice and will look great on any car you put them on. There's those machined wheel standoffs that comes with the wheel kit. I never used those because it would have made the wheels stick out too far. That's about all the info I have on these. I have some factory hiro GTO 250 wheels wheels that are just amazing that I'm going to use on another 62 Ferrari. I just have too many projects going on right now to do anthing with them. Good luck with your build.
  7. I've used these on a 62 ferrari 250 GTO and they are awesome. The instructions tell you that there is a spacer in the center of the wheel that you will add two spokes on one end at a time. You will need to put these on-top of each other, facing in opposite directions to get that spoke look. Once you have these super-glued, then do the other side the same way making sure to face the spokes in opposite directions from one another for that 3D look. Once these are dry then slide the whole assembly into the wheel and glue into place. There should be a center cap that you will add on after you have them glued onto the chassis, or at final assembly.
