pfffft so.o.o nice and seeing those brass leaf springes next to the styrene version ... what a difference

looking good love the undercarridge !!

thnx this update will show it all more as whole i think and now the details and all braces are added it comes alive more closed the inside of the cab at the end of the tunnel with a sheet of styrene so its now closed inside , that actually stays on the chassis when teh cab comes of same go's for the seats fixed the rear axle in place and use the top of the fuel tank that usually go's on top of the chassis on the bottom , that closed the gap between chassis and body and makes it all smooth. just shaved the fuelk filler cap of then added the trans mount and braces for the axle found a cool steering wheel in my partsbox and drilled some holes in the spokes (no i'm not going to count all the holes on this project hahaha) still loose in place drilled a new hole in the steering colom brace so the whole assembly can sit more horizontal , looks more racy i guessed very very rough dryfit of the ride hight / stance , its dead on its low but still looks drivable to me (?) dryfit with the grille , fixed front axle and axle braces

pics of the boxart and content are also very interesting (hint )

hahahah thats cool , love the hello kitty seats you def. got the theme over the top and looking right i doubt if any girl who could legally drive would want the flowers and seats irl

thnx i do that on every wip only allowed to post 10 pics at a time here otehrwise sometimes it would be more

very nice but loose the rat name in the title .. its def. not a rat great job !

whow whow whow thats geourgeous , that rusted through sheet metal is just so realistic , the paint and weathering on everything looks spot on and the biggggg engine is looking way cool > fun

hoped to see some cool pics here welli just have to be patient then

thnx guys and well to be dead hounest almost every hole i drilled right away with this size drill bit and the lining up was just done by eye , didnt messure or mark them on the rear the only thing i did was draw a straight line and teh spacing was done by eye , the tunnel was just random ... its like i said a few posts back , if i would have messured and marked everything and pre punched it it could have been even tighter .. but oon parts like a front axle that would be a must , on the body i quite like the slightly rougher look now and the fact it looks more like old fashion hand work instead of going more to the robotic / waterjet look also with the paint and the shading i hope to achieve on the holes i think (hope) it will work out this rod has brought me on great new idea's , in the future i could use this technique with smaller drill bits on parts like brackets or axles , just a tiny bit but it could add a lot to like tha undercarridge of a model but most important of it all i'm having a ton of fun with this build

stunning just stunning

thnx !

hey tukker finally posted it you know i loved it when it was finished and and still do !! awsome skills

well drilled the holes on the rear from behind with a bigger drill like mentioned oabove and now it looks way thinner the started work on "the interiour" used a styrene airplain missile as base for the tunnel and then shot some holes in them with my ......uuuhhmm drill on the front at the end of the tunnel i will close it up need to sand the inside of every hole with a fine round file , added new smaller seats removed the sides that where like arm rests cant be too comftable , it needs to go fast not ..... had a lot of lenght inside so i kept the seats a tad forward instead of right against the rear

thnx all !! and at horsepower i now what you mean , the ones on the rear need that yes ..and i will def. do that

very cool love the shade of red of the rims !!!!!!!! is that bright red with a wash or is it ....? looking great

whow all together it just shouts coolness , even the little ribbed fenders of the trailer pop out love it all

well finshed all the speedholes . first of all not all are perfect position wise , if i could do it over i would first mark all holes with a marker en pre punch them with a steel needle ... would take 3-4 times as much time but then it would be perfect now i dont think its really a big issue , most are pretty good only screwed 2 up in the chassis by being to enthousiastic and wanting to do it too quick but when you guys see the fonish of bare metal and the shading i think it will be fine a previeuw of the idea of the bare metal , here is a deuce i did before and this was the second stage of the aluminium paint with some rubbing and sanding > that one got some flyrust over the whole body on this one i want just the bare metal effect , hope i can do it the second time . also will try to add more detail in the paint with tiny darker specs .. started today with the bucket seats and drilled some holes in the sides in the car then did the chassis and the grille !! tbh i cant find anything else speedhole related other then this one and the one in my first post grille and chassis very loose rough mock up just to see ... all the parts are not really in place i have this flat head v8 .. what do you guys think use this with some brass stacks on top or do a more modern , more powerfull v8 ? some pre-shading of the panellines because after the aluminium paint its hard to rub off excess paint it works on the paint

thnx all !!!

awsome and those wheel width's on the modified one > awsome

thnx guys !

awsome i love it !

awsome !!!!!

very rough update , front is full of bondo , did some interiour work , just the forst set up of smooth sheets drilled the rear edge , that is a bit sunken and i want to ad a edge on the doors so the side holes also become sunken / with depth the rear holes i drilled with my powerdrill in the car on the pics i see they are all off .... but irl its not that obvious and luckely the seats will hide most holes there

thnx and well not really its something that takes little time .. what does make it tricky is to position the drill right .. i tried messuring but got bored very quickly , the curves are not really ... so i drew a small pen line straight and eye balled the distance between the holes .. not accurate as you would have when messuring , but .... its kind of gives it soul , because i do want this to be not perfect and not exactly spot on also going bare metal on the body .. its not that i'm saying all the holes are off but they are also not perfect btw i will not do a whole lot more then this i dont want it to look like the exampe ....thats to much bondo-ed the airvent on the front of the cab and the holes for the window pillars also placed the firewall , placed it way more upwards and i will change the center later on also bondo-ed the corners of the dash , there where gaps due to not following build instructions lol some flattening and did some speedholes on the front
