mp_101airborne Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 well i'm managing to overcome the learning curve with the help from some interesting how to articles and forums... so with that said heres my first attempt at scratch building disk brakes... rotors are a kit from model master and the calipers are inner wheel hubs that i quartered and used a dremel tool to shape... i need to either find or make some decals for them... maybe baer or brembo also managed to finish the dash and wired the tach up... ive flocked the floor pans and need to clean up a bit but you get the picture... gonna scratch some armrest up and i have some headrest to add to the front buckets so the next pic of the interior will be a finished shot before final assembly begins last but not least is something ive learned that makes older cars look much more realistic and thats blacking out the recessed grill areas... gonna finish this interior tonight and the front disc... about a week till i have a finished product... and then its on to the next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It's looking great, Jeff. Super clean build. BTW, while I'm thinking about it, thanks for your service to our country. I'm a big WWII history nut and am reading a book about reflections of the Greatest Generation. A segment I recently read was about a fellow who was killed near Bastogne. He was with the 101st. Liberty DeVito was his name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
