Nice photo you added John. Haven't seen that movie. I'll add picture of those shackles I found later.
-
Both cars have detachable hoods. Red one is built without engine and i glued it to have raised from rear. White's hood isn't just placed properly. But they are little tight to put in place.
-
Nice Hasegawa kit. Added front bumper from old Airfix Cavalier, wheel arches and side skirts from Fujimi set and Tamiya rear wing. Seats are changed. Wheels are resin TE37V's. Also added side exhaust.
-
This AMT kit started when I found these jewel things, that looked very much leafspring shackles. So this car was deemed to have its rear end lifted way up. That of course meant finding some big rear tyres. They are Fujimis with widened steels rims. Front wheels are some lowrider tyres. Otherwise pretty much "stock" build.

If you can, order some tire black color. Many manufactures offer them. Also you could mix something up. Anybody has an idea how to mix tyre color?

Air cleaners look very nice. Please post how-to making them.

Very nice project you have there. What is that tubing for cooling interior?
-
Love this build. Very inspiring. I may have to buy that cutter because of you. Now finish that Challenger.
-
Love the color combo.
-
Is this Fujimi or Aoshima. Either way, they often require lowering front suspension, due the universal chassis. Easy job.
Very nice color by the way.
-
Very realistic. That the fate of old Fords. I really like the rust streaks.

Seems like 1/32 Smer kit, but with engine. I'm building one too, with 1/32 Hispano-Suiza engine from Roden.

Well, it has to be a street car, because it has licence plates
-
So right! Like those hot pipes. How did you get them to look like that?
Just paint. Alclad chrome on bottom. Then Tamiya clear yellow and orange and a mix of alclad red and blue to get purple color.

- Hasegawa kit
- Inspired by Dauer Porsches
- Modifications: Exhaust changed to back. Tyres are widened Fujimi basic tyres. -
My friend's doing this too. He hated the molded streering arms and redid those from brass. Have to warn him about those decals.
-
Very nice work with the radiator and fuel filter.
For photographing small objects, i used a lens from old camcorder viewfinder. I used blue tack to mount it to my phone
Here's a photo of exhaust tips to my Porsche. They are 5 mm diameter. Only downside of using this method if the fuzzy edges on the photo.
-
Those stacks looks very much right for this build. Some bend or slash cut at the end to make them more menacing?
-
We need those washers asap. Very nice looking wheels.
