Monty Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Edward, looks like you're off to a fantastic start. I think I'm going to follow this project. Couple questions if ya don't mind: 1) What specific paint did you use on the engine? 2) Where did you get the alternator bracket? Hope to see more pics soon!

Fart Factory Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) lol thanks guys, beans are to healthy to stop eating them the alternator bracket i just cut out from some brass sheet. color on the engine is Nissan Orange Mist from a duplicolor spray can, i thought it was a pretty close match to some internet photos Edited March 25, 2014 by Fart Factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyD340 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Real NICE Edward!! color looks pretty darn close to the pic. Now a little ditty from my childhood, "pinto beans good for your heart, the more you eat the more you fart, the more you fart the better you feel, so eat pinto beans at every meal" It just felt appropriate, I couldn't resist!

Fart Factory Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 thank you! I managed to finish the chassis. I painted the floor pan in body color to add some life to the underside. will start on the interior parts next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMCMAN52 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Really nice. I like it... What did you use to make the underside look this good Edited March 28, 2014 by GMCMAN52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baugher Garage Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Amazing detail! Right down to the heat colorization on the mufflers! Very cool!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 This is coming along very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fart Factory Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Really nice. I like it... What did you use to make the underside look this good thanks I just do some dry brushing with a grey color.. this kit has really nice parts but the detail would be lost in the black paint if you don't highlight the edges. also a few washes of black on the floor pan if you want to know anything in specific just ask! thanks for lookin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fart Factory Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 For the steering, I just didn't glue the spindle to the control arms it fits snug in between and is then moveable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
