RancheroSteve Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm diggin' this a lot! Great concept. I built the Messerschmitt basically stock, but I've got another one that I want to do as a hot rod/racer/tuner - maybe with a modern motorcycle engine.

jbwelda Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) hoping to wrap this one up this coming week, polished out the black and it looks much better now, will put a coat of wax on it later, but for now some pics of it with the headlamps posed in place, will glue together after waxing I think. then theres some little stuff to complete and I think I will call it done. made some kustom teardrop taillights that are gonna look sweet back there. also am planning on taking a black technical pen and going around all the separations between colors and clean them up a little more. jb Edited August 9, 2014 by jbwelda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbwelda Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 yep the rally version of the mini cooper I believe. and its already got a Hemi in it. 2 cylinder style. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The stock version, the 1275s I think it was, had them, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 thanks for bringing this up again. I should post some new pics, its finished and looks considerably better than those in progress photos I posted. it was a fun little build with the added challenge of it being a clear body. I did scratch build the interior though, what came with the kit was cringeworthy. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
