slownlow Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 A friend at the local club gave me this partially assembled kit. There were some parts missing and some glaring seams showing so I opted to take it apart and reassemble with my own twist. To take it apart I used the get it wet and freezing trick which worked with partial success. I think the glue is probably 40+ years old. For the purists out there he also gave me an unstarted kit which I’ll do as the box art suggests. As yo can see some of the seams were in tough locationsBefore disassembly I was smart enough to drill joints to receive pinsHere it’s beginning to look like what I have in mind. To change the bars to a downsweep I cut a wedge out underneath next to the risers. Here is the bike, all but done, now onto the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownlow Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’m making slow progress on the car but so far so good. The fender skirt is similar to what Steib uses on there 1:1 hacks but I’m not sure if I want to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
