walt francis Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Nice job so far! How do you guys feel about the pattern on the inside of the body to open up the wheel wells? I don't think it looks quite right. It almost looks like it would open them up too much and that it makes too much of an arch. Jim Myself I am not goiing to stress over it.

Guest Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It's looking nice Walt! Makes me want to pick one of these kits up next time I'm at the hobby shop. I know what you mean about lacing plug wires,but once you do it the first time,you feel like you have to do it on every build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt francis Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Did a test fit and everything is fitting together Nicely, just had to modify the rear axle to except the new rims a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shatteredsoul76 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Im loving that wheel/tire combo for this car, I think they are spot-on and make the stance just right. She looks ready to pounce on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmikevee Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hey Walt, Looks great, just the right stance and paint, looks downright nasty, and that sir, is a compliment!! Thanks for posting. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I like this build a lot. Everything is coming to together very nice. I really like the wheels - did you open up the slots on them? I also like the contrast of the color of the engine and the primer metal parts of the car. Great - thanks for taking the time to post the build!

John Pol Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi Walt real nice job so far how did you do the tire burn on your quarters? Keep up the good work. John Pol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt francis Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi Walt real nice job so far how did you do the tire burn on your quarters? Keep up the good work. John Pol All I did was tape off the bumper then one over the panel and roll the tape back so you get a soft edge then I took a brush with acrylic flat black thinned 50/50 and just flick the brush in the direction the wheel would throw the rubber.
