  1. MAN, all I can say is thank you guys for your support. This has been a real learning experiance so far. Im going to make sure to keep it updated with lots of pics. Thanks again.
  2. Here is a little more for ya guys. Look forward to hearing your feed back. These are the motor parts after de-chroming This is the motor progress Thanks for looking
  3. Ok so I took a break for awhile but I finaly am getting back to it. Here is the progress.
  4. Here are the pedals, dash, seat and steering wheel. Now on to the body. Thanks for looking.
  5. Ok so I said I would get the cage in tonight along with some other things and I have done it WOOHOO! Now on to the pedals, dash, and seat but thats for another day.
  6. Halon system, battery, and ignition plus some decals installed in the interior. Next to come is the door pops and shut straps and the roll cage which will be done tonight if it kills me
  7. All I can say is you are sick in the head man lol. Totally awsome build. I hope I can master body work like that some day.
  8. Ok so here is my halon system. I used a fire extinguisher from a monster truck kit, cut and drilled the top. Used some braided wire for my hard line and some jewelry cord for the switch wire. This is the ignition module. I cut a solid piece out of a parts box exhaust system, and put some grooves in it. It will get the wires later. Thanks for looking.
  9. It is called "step flashing" atleast thats what the sticker said. I got it at my local hardware store for 19cents a piece, they come in that L shape and are about 8in x 8in. They are about the thickness of soda can and cut pretty easy with just a pair of household scissors.
  10. Keep it going man, the build is looking awsome! Love that motor you got going there.
  11. Ok so I have started the cage. Got it painted and used some heat shrink tubbing for the padding, got the idea from another builders pics on here. Does anyone have any ideas as to what i could use as like zip-ties or straps for the padding. I tried fishing string but the knots came out to big.
  12. Yeah he does have a pretty bad one on there. Don't think mine will turn out like that but I'm gonna try, and yeah I've already found out about the kit. What its missing in parts it makes up for in parts that dont belong in the kit lol. As for the paint, it will be red and black but still going to prime it first.
  13. Thanks Brent. The idea was actualy gave to me by one of the guys the replied to my post in the tips and tricks section. It was time consuming but worked pretty good if you ask me.
  14. Okay so I have built many models but I have always been more of a build it by the instructions with what it came with and dont take my time kind of guy. Now I'm going to step out of the box and try my hand at a full custom job. I have been looking at this site for months and think I have finally seen enough to give this a shot. Thanks to the tips and tricks section I have been posting in "I'm sure I will be posting there again " I'm finally starting. Here is what I got so far. I used step flashing from the hardware store and scrap book paper for templates I molded the edges and mocked up the cage This is what I got so far I'll keep it updated and please give me your imput, this is my first full custom.
  15. Thats what I was thinking but I wasnt sure if bondo would be to abbrasive for model cars. Thanks for the help Ed.
