Aside from sprinkling it with Viagra, you will have a time painting said parts. Get the info from the caster or get replacements!

Nice job, John!

Bingo! I now expect you to try the wire/spring and heat shrink.... AND post a pic! Glad to have been of service! Anyway, years ago I tried wrapping the wire around... After the 100th attempt, with it unraveling, I tried this. I always look at anything for two purposes...project at hand and modeling stuff!

A typical BBC hose is around 2.5". I measured one of mine. Little bigger or smaller may not matter to the eye. You'd need a spring in the neighborhood of about 0.1". The smaller spring is under 0.1" and the larger one is slightly larger. The Internet can be your friend! Automotive assortments may have a 5/32” x 3 1/8”. This should work. Oh... if you use solder, do not use acid core. Use resin core!!!

Agree with solid copper wire.

Find a Spring the size you want, slip it into some heat shrink and watch the magic when you apply heat.

Lol! First car I ever drove was a Cortina!!!

Scale Production has been out for quite some time. My friend bought one almost 2 years ago. Tried getting one but no go. Bought Greg's. Not as complete, but I have what I need to make the model.

I still have most all my article cars. I donated my Yenko Camaro to Roy Sorensen for a benefit auction. The '68 and '69 GTOs were traded to a friend. Later, I got them back, with the '68 having white lettered tires vs. the redlines. It's a good thing they came home....the friend died and his brother put all his stuff on eBay. All the cars have held up well. A '69 Camaro resto that appeared in Scale Auto is 47 years old now, after the resto. When I look at them, I smile...then feel quite old!

Great job! Excellent subject!

Impressive score!

I recently did a column regarding my ‘55 Chevy interior. I was quite happy with it.

I bought his ‘73 Nova and I’m happy.

Diecast Zone, commonly known as the D4C. Good bunch of people.

Doesn’t Shapeways offer design services?
