charlie libby Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 been moving along . making 20 lug nuts is time consuming. i made all the pieces of the steering u-joints. final assembly on the front suspension and noticed it had no shocks. dumb mistake but easy to fix. body is ready for clear . lugs are painted with rustoleum metalic paint. i think it works great. put it together enough just to see it .

Codi Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 At first I thought I was reliving my childhood and watching Batman with Adam West........."KAPOOWW" was my reaction to the paint on the car. Love it and boy does it jump at ya'......needless to say I like ALL the details you're throwing at this too Charlie. Beautiful! cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
