  1. stunning !!!!
  2. hmm great project !! very curious !!
  3. maybe i'm becoming a bit ocd ?? lol after some research i realized there is a vacuum line from the carb thingy to the carb .. so made a hole and a line ... added 2 small oil filler caps ....need to make a dip stick still but cant decide on the location .....(tips are welcome where to put it , left or right .. i think right side > drivers side) also added a ring on the throttle cable near the carb .. 1/25 .. man some parts i really struggled to get glued on and a bit of swearing sometimes .. ps if somebody had any idea's if and where i could add electrical wires ?? yes the alternator will get some .. battery would sit in the trunk , no room for that
  4. looks stunning !!! love it !!
  5. thnx guys !! and gergo .. you can use ides and copy no problem ... go for it just came home and looked in my wirebox .. and found hollow black wire .. the steel throttle cable fits exactly inside so now its got a outer skin .. maybe i will try to make a braket where the cable is mounted in so there is tention it it could be pulled .. now i already have a much better idea for the whole throttle and cable and spring mount .. but i will keep this one as is and do that on a next build .. sometimes when you make stuff afterwards you get better idea's .. this i kind of winged and made my own out of my mind version .. now when looking at pics i think it can be more realistic in the future .. but that said my firts ever throttle .. so ...i'm still happy
  6. made the throttle cable and valve thing .. now i kind of winged it .. it was a bit hard to make something like with a steel bar and several shapes ... start .. man that was tiny lost the part 2 times ... on the engine / carb with a cable , i hope to find a very small diameter hollow black wire to partial give it a mantle with some chrome on the valve powerboostvale painted chrome , i want to do a test with clear red over the chrome to try and mimick a red anodized look just a shot with a few interiour parts next to it
  7. THNX GUYS !! and steve hahaha yes it is isnt it
  8. thnx guys !!!! i just came home from work and made a steel pin in the back of the powerboostvalve .. this fits in a hole in the firewalls ... so the position is set .. now the hoses are inbetween flexibel en ridged so there is a tiny bit of tention when the sit in the carb .. the steel pin makes sure both ends are strong and when everything is painted i can glue the powerboostvale on the firewall with the steel pin , that way i get and a strong connection and i avoid glue mark risk .. also shot 2 pics outside , most pics are shot in the evening with artificial light and it doesnt show the engine how it looks irl by eye colors show much better on the outside pics
  9. started part of the fuell system ... did some research looking at pictures .. what to do .. also taking in consideration the scale , room i have .. wanted to make something tht looks convinsing kind of makes sense but was easy to make , first time i go in so much detail on a engine .. made a fuell pressure regulator , with two lines that will go to the carb and room for a feed in the bottom , i will make some sort of small fuell body on the bottom and add a gauge ... this is the first rough set up / what i made >> ooh and i will put it on the firewall loads of room there , best would be close to the carb next to it .. but het lets be hounest it wont really fire ....lol hhahaha
  10. this also looks great ...!
  11. put the spark plug wires on its place ...wanted to paint them black or red .. kept them yellow saw some high performance yellow leads on engines and i just liked the yellow really pops ... gave the headers a wash with black for depth (in the seems) pic with the master brake cilinder loose on the firewall , its just a revell cilinder .. painted it base chrome , pre drilled holes for brakelines .. will get more detail bonuspic in the garage .. cant really shoot pics of the car in there yet the white catches so much light on pics .. looks horrible so i need to make brakelines , fuelline , throttle cable , steering box and shaft ... and more small details..
  12. stunning !
  13. fitted the distributer then started to make a coil used a mopar decal from the revell kit on the coil , just to make it look nicer ...put it on before the intake and wired to the distributer
  14. painted the cap red , then painted a small portion of the wires red to try and mimick the stich connections on the cap .. i have small drills but i relly need to buy those tiny microdrills to try and really give eitch wire its own hole
  15. started to build a distributer added 9 wires , one to run to a coil (need to make that) some chrome , when thats dry i can paint the top red
  16. thats gorgeous !! love it .. paint is just deeep !! and agreed in the right setting you would think its real !! one question ? not ment offensive .. the seats .. they just look like unpainted plastic ? thats the only think i thought .. hmm is that non painted plastic ?
  17. thnx guys !! and yes gene i cant waight to see some paint or even a coat of primer on it , that will do a lot .. but i just cant spray premature .. i need to have everything done and set and dialed in .. knowing how i'm going to put it together when all is painted .. and i need to go shopping for a nice metallic .. no rush on this one .. well enough talk i painted the headers chrome and then painted all the silver on the engine chrome .. looks better and redid the valve covers .. they when dull after all the toutching and dryfitting .. repainted the orange .. also had some scuff marks
