belfast boyo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The box.. The underside,pretty basic and the axles are just snapped in place. As it is n ex Esci kit thought I would check fittings - ok as it happens. May well use these wheels on it,going for a mild custom jobbie.

afx Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Has this been reissued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The reissue is out now?!Must...go...find...it. I have an original ESCI waiting for me now in the stash, and many many years ago I built the red Ford branded kit, but that one eventually got tossed. Kicking myself for that.

crazyrichard Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 ooh cool ! love the kit !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfast boyo Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yes the kit is back out,got mine a couple of weeks ago! Got the base cut out ok,a bit of recycling..used the spare wheel carrier for the engine crossmember. The axle ect. It was easy to mod the new wheels,all that I needed to do was to trim down the outer Transit rim and the new wheel fits over it! Now the engine bay,an engine was found in my local scrappers..A Plymouth 440.... The shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfast boyo Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Got the bulkhead finished off,and the eng block sprayed AK steel.The rad mounting is going to be tight,so might go twin rads one each side on the inner wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfast boyo Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Got the other side roughed out,still to clean it up.Also got a pr of buckets from an 07/08 Challenger for the front. Decision time,to have clear windows or not,not doing it as a camper but might have some seating in the rear.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
