MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Wow, Donato, that Cheetah looks awesome. And to think you made it from a Corvette.
  2. I realized the dash was not lining up properly with the roll cage, so I had to extend it back somewhat to make it look more like the ref pictures. The key words here are to make it look more like not make it look exactly like the ref pictures. This is true of about everything about this build. I just want to get it in the ballpark. When you modify a stock kit into a race car that's about all you can hope for.
  3. Yes, but I would probably be removing a bunch of stuff you don't want removed.
  4. So true. But it's still better than trying to find a rattle can to match the color you need. that's almost impossible.
  5. I'm sure all you guys have figured out what I'm building, so here is the target I'm trying to achieve. Terry's IROC 13 winning Camaro from 1989. This is the car he captured the overall championship with his win at Michigan that year. I have better pictures of the car but they all have copyrighted photo printed on top of them, so I figured I should not post those. The one below is a captured photo from a you tube video of the Michigan race, so that's why it such poor quality.
  6. Surprising how competitive these bricks were but you could see why the next gen thunderbird did so much better when it hit the track. Excellent job on this build, Yoshimi.
  7. Pierre, that's the beauty of brush painting because of the use of dropper bottles and the use of the palate you can get a color very close to what is represented in pictures of the actual car. You just have to hope that the picture you use is accurate and, in this case, I believe you found a very good picture of the car that you built.
  8. Thanks for all the links. You have built a wonderful replica of this very historically important car.
  9. I was thinking more of a problem for the driver's hands than the actual cockpit temperature. But actually, it's probably a dumb question to start off with, yup?
  10. I wonder if the heat from the header runs up the steering shaft after 12 hours and creates a problem for the steering wheel.
