disconovaman Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hey, spencer1984, you making anymore progress with the BHC project? I hope you still hanging in there I was enjoying the updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer1984 Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 I've been away from this for a while thanks to other priorities taking over, but I was able to get back to work on it today! The body trim has all been added, using a combination of Model Car Garage parts, styrene stock, tape, foil, and a set of door handles from Fireball Modelworks. Once that was done it was on to weathering - both to add the required gunk and also to reproduce the faded and dusty color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dedo Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Wow. I'm breaking out the pastels and trying some shading tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconovaman Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 This looks so good! And I totally understand other priorities thing. I have what I call Modeling A-D-D myself. I can't walk by my stack without pulling something down. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer1984 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks, guys! This year has been a string of weird stuff vying for my attention, including work, house, and weather, so my build schedule is even more out of whack than usual. I'd like to say that things will even out once we get into summer, but it was snowing here today so who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't amount to much, but yeah - flurries mixed in with the rain. Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 80s. Gotta love NY weather!

NYLIBUD Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm guessing that you live very up state. 17 minutes ago, FabbricaP said: Love it, I can almost hear Axel Foley "Yea can you park this somewhere safe,all this stuff happened last time I parked here....A banana in the tail pipe."

spencer1984 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 I was thinking about trying to make a bag for the front seat, but need to go back and watch the movie for a plan of it. Some of my family lived in Massena, so I'd say we're more central–in the woods about a half hour/45 minutes from Albany. But any time a forecast includes "hill towns will receive...," that's us.

spencer1984 Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Got a bit more done over the weekend. The transmission is a B-N-L Resins Powerglide, and fit the MCW engine perfectly. Also made an exhaust from 0.080" rod stock and the crossover muffler/tailpipe from the original kit. Once that was done I could get the rear axle in, so now I can add the wheels.

spencer1984 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 I'm finally nearing the home stretch - engine wiring, belt assembly, and some other small details are done... ...and the interior is finished and ready for installation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 The details on the engine and chassis is outstanding. The interior almost looks to nice in relationship to the exterior, but I wouldn't change it. I have to go rent that movie again and see if it's still as funny as when I saw it last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
