Zarana-X Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Got the windows installed on the 510. They install from the outside, like a real car. Never seen this on a model before. Put the second coat of Future on them this morning, and will probably polish them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knarf Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) great progress everyone is making i've finally gotten started on my 79 z28. right off the bat, i don't like how room there is between the motor and firewall so we did a little cutting and reattachment of mounts to solve the problem we'll be using the blown engine option but it WILL be contained beneath the hood. did considerable sanding/filing to; the bottom and top of the intake, top and bottom of the blower and the bottom of the carbs to get everything tucked down in as far as possible before starting on the hood wanted the hood to appear as stock appearing as possible enjoy Edited July 12, 2014 by knarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFchronos Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Awesome stuff Niko, Brayden, Frank, and Tommey! I like everything I see. As for me while polishing the body I ending up going too far and have had to respray the front pass. fender and trunk lid. The paint ending up going on darker this time around but it's okay with me. I think it gives it a nice "flawed charm", it's not meant to be a perfect big bugget show car to begin with. Just something a relatively regular person could have made to race across country. I also got the interior done, not having the decal sheet (or even knowing if it had dash decals for that matter). I decided to make my own dash cluster using Mopar Performence brand gauges. Keep up the great work you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenrat Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Good work folks. I've got the Poncho engine bay glued into the Skyhawk and the bonnet & boot trimmed up to fit the holes. I've stretched the interior to fit and now have to build up the sides of the boot to bridge the gap. A big petrol tank should help to hide the surgery. Bodywork next. Lots of sink marks to fill and mould separation lines to remove. I might also try my hand at foil casting to preserve the badges and make sanding easier.

ChevyCoupe41 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Very good work guys! Finally got inspiration back to return my '64 Impala. Here's some photos what i've done in few days. Engine is pretty close to finishing now. Headers was a big problem because front of frame is so narrow. Those headers were smallest what I found from my parts box and they fitted just between frame rails after some cutting. Still need to paint that fuel injection and couple small parts but after that engine is finally finished. Frame is also painted and I've done some assembling because I wanted to see how it looks in four wheels. I've also opened those front inner fenders. Main reason for that was that Cannonball Run is a long race and engine is running very hot so now that supercharged big block is getting fresh air enough that overheating is not problem. And also it looks much meaner now. Body is also painted and now it's drying and waiting clear coating and maybe some decals. Wheels and tires are from my parts box. And for last one mock up pick. Next body is going to get clear coated and interior is going to get some red paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I like the miscolored panels on the GTX. Gives it character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Awesome stuff Niko, Brayden, Frank, and Tommey! I like everything I see. Thanks Jonathan! Your GTX is looking really nice, too. That front fender looks actually pretty good just like that, I mean that on a Cannonball Run car it could be so that the fender has been crashed and then repainted. Finally got inspiration back to return my '64 Impala. Here's some photos what i've done in few days. Great job on the Chevy, too! I like the Cowl Induction hood a lot and the wheel and tire combo works perfectly under that one. Now I need to make some progress with the Daytona so we'll get two cars from Finland to the starting line. But before that I'll watch the Cannonball Run movie to get some inspiration!

Nick Winter Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 This weekend I'll force myself to sit down and do some reading and updating. As for the Fire-Am, well thats a bit of a secret It has it's fire-breathing drivetrain in place, it's interior set up, and the exterior ready for paint. I just have suspension to deal with.

maltsr Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Finally got started on my '67 Corvette. The kit is moulded in red so I thought it best to paint it red, in this case Tamiya TS49 Bright Red over their pink primer - and yes, bright is an understatement!
