Austin NJ Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Started off as the T touring kit with the independent front suspension and jag rear end. I wanted to build something more traditional so I used the 32 frame from the revell model a roadster kit and a bunch of other parts from that. Other parts are from parts box. This is my first scratch built rod and I'm happy with how it turned out. It's not that accurate but it looks better built and on the shelf.

The front shocks seem to be installed upside down though?? Only the most experienced modelers mount the shocks like that just kidding I totally didn't realize it and made a newbie mistake hahahaha.

Spex84 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Re: the shocks-- the funny thing is, I actually prefer how they look in that orientation!, it's just that mechanically it wouldn't work. Just say they're torsion bar levers (torsion bar mounted inside the frame rails) with hydraulically dampened self-leveling gyroscopic headlight mounts. Totally intentional engineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
