whow stunning !!!! love it !

very very nice !!! love it !

nice build !

very cool and great details !!

started a cover on the bottom of the trans ... i didnt like the paint and i didnt have the cover that should go on there ..the whole engine is build of misc. parts and a lot of scratching i wanted to make something out of real material , no paint .. to match the other parts on the chassis ... yesterday in my truck (bigrig) i was stapeling receipts together .. and i got the idea to use staples because they are ribbed (cooling) they where copper color but after a sand and some filing they went silver , hardest part was to get the sides lower , staples are rockhard and not easy to cut .. come loose from eitch other fairly easy .. so i glued some plastic card on the inside to hold them together .. made it sit a bit higher then i wanted but ... so i build up everything on the trans .. first the staples then a piece of molded aluminium closed the front with a alu panel and added side panels to make it less staple like .. with a lot of patience made a piece to close the gap on the engine side after some sanding and filing put in the engine and driveshaft (final mount) cover will get some more detail later and some clear coat hemi finally in fuellines attached

cool ! i love the detail of the rib on top of the roof !

thnx guys ... and yes color pffft its time isnt it ... again i need to go ..get some in ... 2 weeks ? and the driveshaft decal , purposly put it on the axle side its actually not really obscured might be the shot .. in the middle or forther forward looks weird .. you know like sometimes y just think naaahhhh : hahaha

loved this build and came out awsome !!

gorgeous !!!!

thnx guys ! added the brakeline , not real happy with it but i cant pull it out .. maybe i will make some bushes so it looks like multiple sections .. i dryfitted the body on the chassis / interiour .. this kit is notorious for the way the body fits over the chassis , body needs to be spread ...its very narrow on the bottom .. before i could slide in the whole chassis and interiour from the front .. but after mounting the seats and rollcage i could not slide it in anymore .. so exiting how itt would fit , actually went in very simple , i dont have the doorpanels on yet but i think that wont give a issue (knock on wood) i'm very happy with the looks and stance , real gasser style but not to high .. for a charger to high would look less ....body needs lots of work still but the end is in sight brakelines to the master cilinder .. bit simple and bend in shape , engine will take away part of the vieuw .. in the end its better then not rnning any lines .. in the future i want to make more realistic brakelines

thnx guys !! .. well gene i want to go green metallic but i will have a look when i go to the store .. will go not coming weekend but the weekend next to that .. so i have time to mes with the details before i have some paint i could order online but i want to go to the modelstore and just absorb the atmosphere and shelfs full of kits , and i need some brass and alu tubing .. so ... tbh this will be the first time i will buy brass and alu all my stuff comes from here and there , out of junk and all some daylight pictures hard to get focussed its a ribbed line on one spot you can see it just .. but irl it looks way better all together . not mouted yet though , i want to make a alu cap for the bottom of the trans .. i dont like the silver painted look

thnx scot , its done with medical tape , the white almost see through cloth like tape , usually used for taping bandage ..

nice work !

thnx jesse .. yes that could work as well i went on and man it turned out way more realistic then i thought .. i painted the connections (we call them kruiskoppelingen) black , i masked the aluminium but left 1 mm of the alu bare so it became one whole piece with a decal loose in front of the chassis .. i srayed the whole shaft in high gloss clear its milky on this pic , just sprayed it .. this will turn clear ....this clear always does this with a lot of patience drilled open the brackets again for the fuelline , it fits exact but after paint the holes became smaller , then painstakingly lead the steel ribbed wire through , trying not to scratch the paint ... trrue the fuelpump to the gasstank up and in the powerboostvalve tomorrow i will try to tackle the brakelines to the rear ...

yes i know i dont know what i was thinking bruce ... man ... but good news i found a nice thinner alu tube and made this when i got home from work

for now i went on with the driveshaft ...shortened it a tad and let connections stick out more .. found one better one (red) for the gearboxside btw on the gearbox , the suare panel i want to make a cover over that from real alu

dont know hehehe maybe i would but .. lol I NEED SOME OPINIONS AND HELP ~~!! i need to make a driveshaft , original one is way to short now ... also i looked at some reference pics and i like the beefy thick shafts ... the only material i had suitable in about the right thickness and hollow was this alu tubing .. i grinded it on the ends on my electric grind bench .. i thought something in these lines >> rough set up only for dryfitting and settig the right length .. what do you think about the diameter ?? WILL GET MORE DETAIL AND SOME STUFF CHANGED BUT IN GENERAL ?? thnx in advance

thnx andy and the exhaust looks great !!

thnx gene .. and the hurst decal hmm i like it .. just a stuck on sticker by the owner its so much black so i figured some small stuff to break it a bit and in a way i kinda feels it gives a more realistic feel

well mounted the helmet on the seat , made a pin in the helmet and drilled a hole in the seat and mounted it that way fun detail the helmet reflects and on this pic i see myself standing taking the picture in the helmets reflection lol

looking at the helmet i got the crazy idea to make a real visor .. how cool would that be ? ! so took thin packaging clear stuff , with a lot of effort got it cut out , drilled tiny holes and mounted it with pins .... soo small ... before after i even was able to scratch of that kenny name while leaving the design ...

well decided to do some small details ... while the clear dryes i made the hurst shifter and i found a hurst decal in my partsbox !! it was quit big , large square decal , so i cut out the hurst letters with a small piece of red of the logo and put it on the dash .. cool detail with the hurst shifter i have 2 scrap racebike kits .. with figures and ... helmets .. now the gasser could drag now / today in modern time so i figured i can use a modern helmet.. now detail wise its off course cool to put a helmet on the passenger seat .. i will have to see what i will do with it , maybe paint it bodycolor with a black visour or leave it as is and put it in so the kenny juniour name is not visible since thats a bike racing thing made like a tag plate on the firewall made from 2 separate decals , put on te silver first and then the red lettering over that silver and yellow decl on the dif....

i sprayed some high gloss clear in a bowl , its very watery clear and with a brush handpainted the front and rear chassis , axle .. it turns out as nice as you wuld spraying it , it really flows .. so front and rear chassis are now gloss ... really makes a difference in tones ... also painted the strutbar in the middle chrome to break all the black a bit against the light you see the difference a bit , its hard to get on photo .. all that black , irl it looks better / you see it better these pics show it better

thnx joe and yes it works perfect ! the tape is really dry now and looks better ... painter some small bolts silver , painted the leaf spring brackets .. then stopped couldnt see it wll enough in te evening .. dont want to overdo it with chroe or colors

yes it is .. just looks perfect !! btw i was wondering what did you use to pain the headlight yellow > clear yellow ?
