I really like the way this is coming along. The exhaust pipes look cool the way you have them exit. Carry on !

THE GAS TANK!!!

 

I wasn't too happy with the way the Gas Tank fit on Quad, so I did a little carving and sanding...

I got a pretty good fit after a little more sanding!

I think the Body and Gas Tank flow nicely now...I'm Happy!

ED'S LIGHT!!!

 

I found the perfect headlight in Ed Roth's Mysterion Kit.  I added a second little "Wing" on the left side of the Cyclops Light Housing to make it symetrical.

Here it is sanded and shaped!

TWO HARLEYS PLEASE!!!

 

I painted the Engines with Tamiya Silver Leaf, then the Engine Blocks Flat Black and the Cylinders got a Black Wash...

From the side you might not notice the Extra Engine...

But when you see it coming up in your rear view mirror, there is no doubt...

 

The Gas Tank just fits in between...

EASY EXHAUST!!!

 

I found an easy way to make Flexable Exhaust Pipes for the Quad...notice the Black Pipe!

 I cut the Cord off of an old Dell mouse, and as it turns out the Cord is the same size as the Kits Exhaust Pipes! Here are all 4 Pipes in place...

These Pipes are not glued in yet, I'm still working on positioning...

SCOOPS!!!

 

These 25th scale Scoops turned out to be the right size for the Quad!

I added a couple of Carbs and painted them with Testors "Lime Ice".

 

Here they are in place!

HOOKIN' UP!!!

 

I needed to make the Exhaust Pipes longer so that I could Hook them up to the Headers, outside of the body. So I added some more 1/4" Tubing to the Exhaust Pipes...

Then I added, 2 larger pieces of tubing on the ends, so that I can fit 2 Headers in each Pipe. I painted the ends flat black.

 

 

Now it was time to mount the Body. I fit the Exhaust Pipes into the Body, fit the Body on to the Frame and fit the 4 Headers into the Exhaust Pipes at the same time. Then I put a couple of drops of Zap-A-Gap/Green Label between the Frame & the Body, under the seat.

Here is a photo of the Headers fit into the Exhaust Pipes...
