  1. Hi Everyone, Not sure if I've got the right section or not, sorry if it's not. What I'd like to know is how to use the seat belt hardware, have just got a set sent to me BUT like most of their stuff there is now instructions on using them. I have the sheet with the instructions of what to do with photo-etch but nothing on what bits are what. As can be seen by the picture the parts for the buckle on the top line have fold marks, but once folded what do you do then HELP knew there was a problem being British and making American cars over a long distance
  2. Hi John, good find, have always wondered how to replicate a realistic battery clamp.
  3. Hi Junkman, I'm over here to. Also know Diesel Donkey is as he's a great mate of mine. Where are do you live, would help with give you ideas for shows. Andrew
  4. Horray, finally managed to get some modelling done. Haven't done much more that can be photo'd loads of small bits done. Only thing done that I've photo'd is I've removed the moulded on handbrake cable and have drilled and temperally fitted a wire to check the fit and look. Also I had been looking at the kit's moulded on fuel filler pipe and decided I didn't like it, so would have a go at making a proper looking one. At present it's just mocked up for the picture, still needs a bit of furtalling on the join between the 2 pipes. Before After
  5. Hi Don, love the look of this. How do you paint your dash? to give all the detail, would love to be able to get mine looking this real.
  6. Always love that picture, wish I'd seen them racing. Interesting thought. As no clear ideas then, I think ill stick with the kit set-up of full exhaust, which is a twin system. Cheers guys
  7. Thanks Guys, nice bit of help there. Oh well back to modelling.
  8. Hi Guys & Gals, The build is currently here, Workbench build Am having problems finding information on the car. What I would like to know is did they run full exhaust systems or did they only run headers? Happy Modelling Andrew
  9. Thank's for sharing the way you make your hinges. Only question is, are there set lengths that the tube or rod need to be? Never done this before but think I'll give it a try.
  10. Hate to say it YES, Have marshalled on vintage rallies and been to the International Historic Motorsport Show They have a rally stage set-up in the grounds and they throw the group B cars round. Great event you can chat to the drivers and get up close and personal with the cars. My favorite car of the time was the Metro 6R4. you tube Metro 6R4
  11. Hi Harry, Been looking at it today and I think your right. Will wait and do a dry fit of the glazing and see if that helps as you can push it back up easy with your finger, so once the glazing is in it might help. todays work, still on the body. Decided the bonnet needed some extra detail to the strenghtening ribs as these were only marked on the kit, so to give them some depth have started to thicken them with some foil. Before during after Ok this was the 1st round. Have left it for a few hours as it's making my eye's go :hypnotised: Also whilst giving my eye's a break been working on the motor.
  12. Thanks for that tip. Will have a go at it later.
  13. Hi Jefbo, Thanks for nice words. You could be right about the roof looks like a small dip at the front, will give it a blast with some primer and have a look. Whats the best way of over coming it if there is a dip?
  14. Main work today is on the body. Having looked at pic's of the real car I noticed that there is no chrome strips on the sill's or wheel arches, so file in hand and a bit of luck there off. Before and after shots ( well driverside and passenger). Hopefully you can also see that the scripts have been removed off the front wing ready for the one's I made to be fitted.
  15. Sweet, can I order one in 1:1 scale please.
