thnx

dude ...... thats awsome ...

added a engine , some plating on the chassis .. need to close the pint of the nose at the bottom and sanded the body a bit , needs bondo and sanding .. but its saved

he posted the dimensions and how to build it here in the dio section

awsome share !!

sweet !!

nice , love the wood and junk on the cars .. wished i could see more of the dio .. then saw the workbench picture and thats real cool having those stalled out in front of you

thnx all !! much apriciated and neal > lol next time i will burry it lol .. sorry but the air compressor was broke so i couldn't lift the back

awsome !! like i said before !!!

great ! really loving the color and details like the wash on the rims , really make it pop ...

looks great

pfft got it in primer again and i must say i expected worse .. still needs a good snd job but its saved .....

awsome and yes mirror above hanging down is the coolest

thnx guys and well .. long story short , in the end i got most off .. sprayed it again and didnt feel happy and stripped the paint with thinner .. now that luckely worked and the plastic is still in tact .. hard to get it smooth again .. the good news is ... i sometimes go to a bog industrial factory .. with the truck .. and they make pigment poweders .. only white pigment .. the whole yard / factory / buildings / road is white .. i noticed if you walk there the stuff gets on everything .. i was thinking today when i was there i buy rust pigment powder and that works great .. hmm building a racer ... salt flats .. white pigment powder .. so i found a jar and asked if they had some for me .. and said what it was for and they have different types .. so he said follow me and gave me what he said would do the trick .. so my idea is to keep it slightly rougher and weather it like salt covered (not to extreme) use the pigment as like salt spray marks and use small dots of bondo to mimick salt residue the cool thing is if it works like i think and i put some powder on a piece of paper and roll the tyres over .. te tyres should have white on .. like they just drove through the salt .. because that stuff just stays on .. when i've been there my trucvk tyres are white and when i use the steamcleaner to wash it off its pretty stuck on the truck .. so on amodelcar it shoudl stay on this is the stuff

good to know i think i used the wrong brake fluid then lol and keep at it arno !!

nope .. but i kept my cool haha ... just came home and i already did some sanding .. this paint is hard to sand .. like sand of layers .. but i will succeed !!

nice one i want to build so bad myself 36 coupe nomnom

thnx jonas .. not so cool at the moment i'm affraid so bizarre , i painted it red .. used a spray can i use for small parts and just when it was almost done it sputtered like dots of paint .. i quickly took a cap of the same style can but with clear in it and put it on the red can .. i had runners and splashes .. i was so like grrrrr and this paint can be sprayed real thick i just sprayed it out by building layers .. not the best option but .... but it worked !!!!! then i have like a radiator in the kitchen with a wooden front that opens as a door i always bake my paint for like 5-10 minutes on there and now did the same this was the endresult > ooh and i sprayed those wheels chrome well i was happy just saved the paintjob ... bit thick but .. its was flat and shiney .. so i already thought in a bout 2 days i will mask it and paint it with white like the so-cal racers took the pics above and thought well i put it on the radiator for 5 more minutes and put it in the closet to harden i walk away and hear poink ....uuuh poink i thought .... i walked back and it had fallen behind the radiator and was wedged inbetween the radiator and wall... seriously i was like ggrrrrr this is how it came out of there and squeezing my hand behind the radiator i had to grab the body .. so fingerprints so this means after harding i can sand my ...off grrr i was soo close ... and i cant use that red anymore that can is only sputtering ... so hmmmzzzz

those headers are just soo awsome !!

gave the body a good sandjob when i came home , already really smooth

post a pic of the sanded parts ? if you get them smooth i would try to shoot some paint again like you said ..

thnx arno , well color not sure in this update i already was thinking about that ... maybe red .. i never did a red one .... just put a good coat of primer on , nice and thick so i can sand out the last imperfections ... it already came out very nice , one mistake i made was to leave a ridge in the rear of the roof , without primer that looked cool now primered and in one coor it looks weird ... need to smoothen that and put some bondo on that , also need a small amount of bondo on the round side things on the roof ... and color wise .. hmm still thinking red .. maybe even the so-calk colorsceme with red and white and the round design .... only if i'm convinced i can mask that off in a nice way though

hmmm unused brake fluid wont work if i'm correct arno ..... ? i ounce with the other deuce saltracer trew the body in paint stripper and that worked great but then the plastics went soft ... what about just sanding it smooth with fine paper and then painting it .. i said it lots of times before on brouwers in the past there is actually not really a need to completly strip paint .. its nice if you have a way to get it off easy but its not a must just try old fashion sanding i think those cracks you had are in the base coat and it you sand everything flat i think they will not come back ... and again why not try something different for a change on the body .. like maybe a tad rougher or .... your always welcome to take the body and fenders to me and let me see them .. i have been doing weird stuff to styrene for a while now lol .. maybe with a nice base coat and some oil paints ..... ? and hey i still believe you can even get it shiney and perfect without completly stripping the paint of

well closed the sides in the roof with round pieces of styrene ... i left thme like this not going to make it level with the rooof , i loved the looks styling wise better vieuw , i think the extra round shape there makes it more interesting now to make side windows , a front window ...

make something new and give these to me hahaha no seriously i would shorten them so they stay just before the doorline ... i think i would like that look best.. just a matter of taste .. i never been one for long pipes like that on a roadster ...
