Scale-Master Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks Harry. This will be the grab bar for the passenger side of the dash. I’ll add the rubber grip after it is painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelmartin Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Your spacing is remarkably precise. Off by a few thou here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I textured the dash and made the lenses for the gauges. The grab bar is assembled with shrink tubing for the rubber grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Master cylinders for the brakes and clutch. Brake: Clutch: Aluminum and brass for the hydraulic parts and caps. I rough milled the reservoirs from raw resin and hand finished them. Still a little clean up required… The electrical connector for the brake master was also milled from resin stock.

Scale-Master Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 I assembled the pedal set into the foot box for the final time. I made the hardware and linkages and connected them to the master cylinder castings and brake & clutch pedals. The machined master cylinders were textured and painted to look like the cast parts they represent. I also made the cable with adjustment hardware for the throttle. This is not going to be a model of a virgin or trailer queen, so a little dust and grime was weathered into this sub-assembly. Still more parts and details to add to it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks guys! I weighed it and all the parts I had made up to that point a couple months ago and it was well over a pound then.It still is far from the record weight for cars in my 1/12th collection, but it might end up as the heaviest Seven in that collection.Pete, hopefully you can see it in person in about a month...

Scale-Master Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks! I started on the floor panels. The panels alone were not too time consuming to make, but the rivets that mount them to the frame took a good amount of effort... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Only the front portions of the floor panels get carpeting, the rear sections under the seats will just be black paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks again guys! These parts were started over a year ago. Now it’s time to fit them into the whole of the project. The firewall has been added to the cowl and the windshield frame and mounts have been soldered together. Only five pieces make up the windshield assembly at this point… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 The reservoirs for the clutch and brake master cylinders are pretty much done now that they are painted, (custom) decaled and have the hose clamps installed; I think I may hit them with a duller clear after seeing them in the photos… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 "Thanks." The windshield wipers are brass and styrene. I decided to make them sweep from the outside due to the shape of the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
