AMT '65 GTO hardtop,, update,, interior done
crazyrichard replied to Can-Con's topic in WIP: Model Cars
nice !! -
so i found a good location for the fuell pump ... i could put it on the other side of the black brace .. going to decide that on te final assembly then made brackets for a brakeline , went with a single line and split it in the back , using brass smooth wire then needed to puzzle with the brackets on the axle it was impossible to run a cool over the axcle line with brackets or clips .. so i made a splitter in front of the axle on the underfloor bit big but that will be painted with the whole floor in black so it wont stick out .. fun thing is how i'm running the brakeline .. same location as the tiny molded line from revell very rough set up just so i know that it will fit i'm putting the brakeline in the middle of the caliper bit like this > fits the best and clears everything nicely visible with the wheel on , now thi is rough on final assembly there witth be fittings and bushes added , just need to know everything fits together before painting

thnx .. and well tbh in the past i also lcked the patience to really go on andd on with all details .. every build and after a while when you get that detail virus and seee other people here .. you get the drive to stick with it and keep adding .. this is my most detailed model ever ..and i'm really enjoying this build ! well some parts are already glued together , like the base chassis with axle and stuff ... then the flip front is separate and the body itself is separate ... on this build its actually a giant puzzle , i have never taken so much time pre-fabricating parts and make it so the way it mounts is so i have hidden spots where i can glue it on ... the whole interiour is pre-painted and fits in a certain way .. to really awnser your question most small details are all loose and will be put on after painting the chassis.. so the fuel pump is loose ns also not even the spot it will sit on eventually .. i like it on the tank but mybe not that realistic .. could be like the plate is welded on the tank ... that said my previous builds where almost all together and i painted all the details afterwards . i must say that worked great as well

thnx ! .. i still need to determan the location for the pump btw .. i want it to sit in sight .... i will alo mke loose straps on the tank .. there are now molded ones they look horrible

went on with the float , drilled the hole bigger and glued in a aircraft wheel ... then made the base of the pump with brass and aluminium tubing made a copper baseplate for the pump that could be welded on somewhere and then made tiny copper straps brass in the float center made holes for electric wiring and tiny brass wire glued in now because after paint i cant get them glued without making a mess where the witing gos into the float that needs to be cleaned up all together ery rough to get an idea ... also shows the size better then on the close ups , it seemd bog and rougher on pics above these show it how it looks irl

thnx bruce rough set up and start on the fuel line .. made brackets on the bottom .. in a way i can mount and feed a fuelline after paint and dont have to worry about glue .. from the bottom it will go up and i will make a bracket on the firewall and it will go in the bottom of the powerboostvalve so at the tank i just stick the line in to see what bend i can make .. the styrene rod is a rough start and will have to looke like a float and sender with electric wire .. and at the tank outside i will make a loose electric fuell pump .. so the way it sits is just for the pic and to see how to run the bend best when this is done i will start the brakelines .. got the rear brake discs ready so ......

nice ! that chrome will look great against that dark green metallic !! -
not a whole lot done .. still into the last small details and mking sure it all go's together good after paint i have to make a fuel pump , and brackets on the bottom .. for a fuell line and brakelines ... so when ll is painted ican feed lines through ... already drilled true the chassis at the front first mounted the brakes / spindles with gold painted calipers .. due to the small rim sie they sit a bot outside .. but now you can see it when all is together ... also started a steering rod .. need a steeringbox and rod from front inside .. i can just , just fit a steering rod from the steering wheel to the front .. really fits perfect all together ... vieuw through the side .... i now get the aaaarrrgghh about the roughness of the body and flip front , cant waight to get it all smooth in primer .. but i first want all the final details set and know how assembly go's .. and beside that dont have paint yet ... hope to get that in the coming 1-2 or 3 weeks .. the underside .. coming together .. later with the fuelpump gassline and brakelines i think it will come together nicely
