John Teresi Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hello........I made a seat.......I could`nt find anything that looked to scale .......so I cut little diamonds out of styrene and glued them on to the seat pattern......it`s not perfect......but,good enough for the girls I go with......I will clean up the edges, primer, paint......then I will add the piping .......thanks for looking.

my80malibu Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Few more WIP pics.......thanks. I think this is a great Idea, John You, or Someone, should contact Evergreen Styrene Co and have them make diamond shapes with rounded cut edges for this specific purpose in different scales. That is just too cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecklm Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hi John, excellent work so far, as usual. I do have a question about the intake though. When I look at how the ends of the intake compare with the inner exhaust port I am having a hard time figuring out how the end cylinders connect with the intake. What am I missing?Thanks,Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I think those diamond tufts would look just that much better had you sanded their edges and created a puffiness to them. Still awesome no matter what drivel comes out of my pie hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PARTSMARTY Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) First off I could say it's perfect-amazing-over the top but I can't since I don't think there are words in our language that could ever convey or express the quality or what you do-I'm more than completely blown away-w0w!!!.What is the rear tire you're using? It looks kinda like the tire from my revell triumph drag bike that I've had for about 30 years that I've never started.After seeing this I think it's time to start rockin on it.Thanks for the inspiration.PARTS MARTY Edited April 29, 2017 by PARTSMARTY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
