Chas SCR Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Was able to do some rim rings tonight and checking for offsets. The rears are with in .02mm and the fronts are real close and will need be just a little neater and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas SCR Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Did the rocker panels after we had the house fire today! had to do some thing to take my mind off of stuff just before leaving to Salt Lake on Wensday. The other camaro frame is for another project but has some of the same work done to it or will have in the end. For the rim I was making some rings and more fine tuning them for the thickness of the paint and clear that will be added to them so the parts will go together in the end.

Chas SCR Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thank every one, the house fire was in the garage as my father was moving his custom truck up to do some work and a fuel line filter (glass on) broke and sparked a nasty fire inside the garage. We all are ok the truck is kind of messed up with wiring and such that was burned. See you in Salt Lake this weekend and hope every one has fun on the forums!

Chas SCR Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I will be back on building this wild monster here this week, I first like to appoligize to Mark Jones for not bring her to GSL in Salt Lake and wish I did as he was grace enough of going over some real hard detail under standing for this build. After having about an hr long talk with Mark he was able to walk me through on what needs to be redone (not in a bad way because of looks or any thing) but for making sure every thing will fit under the hood when it's built and done. To understand on what to add and keep for scale work at this level and being 1/24th scale is very hard to make sure it works and fits in the end. Unlike working with brass i'm doing every thing with sheet plastic and there is a very limited space I can work with and still be right. Again I will have to be deleting some detail and parts but its for the better good of the build then any thing and want to thank Mark D Jones on this for all the great help he is offering me to make sure this build will be as good as it can.

DrKerry Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Lookin awesome, got a ton of work into this. Where did you get the tires from?? I like those huge rear tires.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas SCR Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 the tires on the rear are from Pegusas and the fronts are also Pegusas but have the width narrowed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Kool, thanks!! Do you by chance know the style or part number from Pegasus? Thanks again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas SCR Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you are talking about the center of the rim, that is custom built. The ring and tire is the 23 inch sleave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas SCR Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 the big over size 16inch 6 piston Bremo Brake calipers for "Brute Force" they are now done and three part. The rotor was a test shot for the rotors and will be redone for the rears and the fronts are 14 inch rotors, also there is a bolt hold at the top so the bolt rod that runs through the two to hold the pads in place is there. There is just enough room to fit inside the rim and the fronts will be a lot easier to fit as the rotors and calipers are not as big.

Chas SCR Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 With the motor block, heads and oilpan is just a test mock up for another build. I did do the Brute Force valve covers today. Came out real nice even at the low res .3mm setting but once I do make the main ones i'm going down to .0050micron setting. The motor was all done for this car and another project that takes a taller head for the LS7 motor block. heads are .3mm taller then the revell ones.
