HDDan Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Getting into the scratch build portion of this build. It's going to get a lot uglier before it looks pretty. I'm surprised that they didn't include a coolant reservoir but I found some parts in the junkyard that will work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDDan Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 I guess that 20 year old decals don't work that good anymore. I tried to put on the carbon fiber for the intake and as soon as they loosened up enough to slide they disintegrated. Does anyone have a line on some good carbon fiber decals??

I also wanted to try to do some interior detailing. The other 4 models that I've done have really focused on the paint job. I wanted to try to do something out of my comfort zone. Opening doors is way the heck out of my comfort zone. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDDan Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Some work on the master cylinder and booster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDDan Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Getting a little bit of work done on the coolant reservoir. I found some aluminum wire that is going to be great for the heater hose and small coolant lines. Edited April 2, 2018 by HDDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching your Pagani it's looking awesome. Seeing some of the things you are doing has made me up my game. You might want to check your Shelby to make sure that all the parts are there. My kit was missing the glass. I had to buy a second kit. Let me know if you need some spare parts I might have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geemoney Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 looking so good! I had to have this model when it came out, I have almost no desire to build it now, weird!! We have a Shelby convention here every year, the year they came out, one was at the drags, it sounded so cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDDan Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 After what I like to refer to as the decal debacle. I ordered some decals from scale Motorsports and finally got this thing looking the way it's supposed to. I think that it probably would have laid down better if I had used a more aggressive decals setting liquid but I think that this will be ok.

HDDan Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 I am taking so long to complete this build. I got the coolant reservoir done and the seats painted. The seats don't quite have the luster of leather I'm going to do some experiments to see if I can get the look I want. Maybe just some armorall??

HDDan Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 One thing that posting on this site does for me, when I post something tlhen go back to look at it the next day and realize that it looks like poo. I am going to dip that coolant reservoir and repaint it. When am I going to learn that the airbrush is my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDDan Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Making progress . I have some spot putty going on. I wish I would have done it before it got hot even with hardly any hardener it kicks in about 3 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 For your seats "luster" Dan. Try some of the natural oils that are on your nose or forehead....sounds weird but works. Build is looking real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDDan Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 I repainted the seats with a little more gloss in the mix they turned out great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
