Adventures in soldering:Hot Rod Wrecker Project Update 2/1/15


Recommended Posts

Very nice soldering work. I dabble in brass/copper/tin etc. But nothing to your caliber. I do have one question, Where did you get the copper rings for the steering wheel? Did you bend or buy those. Again, Thanks for the tutorial.

This one is looking amazing! I love the detail work, you've done for it. I like the interior very much. Pedals are looking good. This is going to be very great model, it looks just like real car right now already.

Once again Randy you blow me away with your skills may i suggest using Johnson & Johnson bandage tape for your seat belts. its the closest thing in scale to the nylon belts used in real vehicles. Keep up the OUTSTANDING work my friend. Romell
