Fuel Coupe Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 finally finished this one. Couple of things I'm not happy about but Its done and in the books... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 What's not to be happy about? Mean stance, cool color, sweet side-steer setup... I can't see a single thing wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Shane, other than the WHEELS bein just a tad TOO skinny, I myself don't see anything wrong with it! It looks pretty nice to me. But then again, i didn't build it. What would you change on it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I like the look of it and can see all the work in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well worth the effort, the detail is fantastic! Two questions, though: 1. I'm not familiar with the mechanism attached to the differential. Is it something similar to a multi-range axle on a truck? 2. Did you actually open the cowl vent? Regards, David G.

Dragline Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Killer Shane. Tighter than a frogs butt, and that's waterproof. Couldn't resist with it being green and all. They say genius' pick the color green. So how'd you end up painting it that color? LOL Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuel Coupe Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 thanks guys, the rod coming off the rear end is a panhard bar, it locates or "centers" the rear end. and yes the cowl vent opens.. I'll shoot a pic of it and another pic of the trunk open as I just realized the trunk lid is shifted to one side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I really like this. Great realism. How did you do the spider caps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Kortman Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Shane, That looks great. We all know of thing on our own models that we dont like. It's just one of the things that hopefully keep you (the modeler) striving to get better with every build. If I had to guess, I would say you are probably worried about the door gaps...dont be, they look fine. It is a very clean build, it looks great, the detailing looks spot on, and you should be rightfully proud of it. NICE JOB!

I could have copped out and did the regular brass hinges which I probably could have gottten the gaps tighter but I opted for the more accurate (yet extremely fragile) hinges. not really an excuse but that's my story and I'm sticking to it I'm not worried about the door gaps. If I were to enter it in a show the doors would be open anyway thanks for all the comments guys Edited September 12, 2010 by TxRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrucha Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Sweet hot rod. I really dig the stance and spider caps. Good detail work throughout the model. Cool body color. Very good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyn Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Shane this is just another reason why your posts are "auto click". No need to even think about it; click and there's always something interesting and cool. This one is no exception. I like the way you try things that you may not have done before, and don't know for sure if they'll work (but they do). I love these roadsters that squat down low like they're mean and ready for anything. Not cut and slashed drastic like a rat rod, just tastefully low. Nice to see this one come back up to the surface.
