yellowsportwagon Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Ok I shall be the first to hack one of these up into a stock car. This kit is awesome. So far I’ve opened the wells a little added a fuel fill opening and fuel overflow. Dechromed the sides and filled mirror mounts. Lowered it and made screwjacks.

MarkJ Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I've always wanted to do a Raymond car. Maybe this will give me the inspiration I need to follow through some day. So many builds , so little time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 That's going to be great. What decals are you using? Is that car orange or red? Who is Zhong Shan? Questions, questions, questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions, questions, questions. The decals are Powerslide. Paint is Ford Performance red. It’s a very orangey red . I was thinking Zhongshan Shan is the eight year old running the mold machine that made the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowsportwagon Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Got the frame rails capped. I hate hollow frt rails! Made the engine cage. Painted the interior and floors today. A few decalsare on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartattaq Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 That is coming along great. Love the paint and decal work. I noticed the #44 car in one of your pictures. I just came back to the hobby after some time away, have you posted pics of that build anywhere, where I could take a peek at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsportwagon Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Got some more done today the only fit issue I’ve seen with this thing is the rear bumper. Trim a little on the back of the qtr taillight opening fixed it right up. Bare metal is done windows in window braces in. Seat bolsters on. Final test fit.

MarkJ Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I don't know whether to give you kudos now or wait for the other 2 %. All joking aside , that is the best Friday Hassler build I have ever laid eyes on. Your model looks better then the real car. Let me ask you again. What do you use for the screen material on the grille? This is another Awesome build from your bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
