Electric water pump done. Found a source pic on popularhotrodding,com and tried make it look like it.

Is there any awards for being an moron? If so i think would qualify as for today. Planned an cosy day with mounting molding and some other things on the body. Then it hit me,i could not find the molding for the bonnet. I looked on the parts three at least 7 times. Did i really have to get up and go to the kitchen and look thru the trash bag. I did, i looked thru everything,twice. I crawled on the floor,went thru the trash,and i thought,do i really have to go and buy an entire new kit just for this. So as i searched ebay i took one last glance on the parts three,well there it is,not very obvious molded but there. So lession today for me was to be careful when cutting parts off the the parts three so i dont cut numbers,as i did here. So there is 5 hours of my life i never get back

Very nice first car and great shade of blue My first car was an 78 Mercedes Benz 300D (w123,pre taxi) manual with 380000km on it. Can you say slow? Anyway,it was built like an tank,and there was never any problems with it what so ever,i remember changing the battery and steering box,both wear parts. When i sold the car it had 750000km on it,and still going strong. This car i guess is what got me into older Mercedes,and i`m looking forward to getting my hands on one in the future,preferably and wagon turbodiesel.

Dark green metalic paint,white inside,little lowred and black deep dish steelies.

The two tone looks great, and like the choice of wheels.

Nice start. The lampredi 4 cyl design is legendary.

The paint turned out great and will look really good with the black steelies. Do you know if this color was avaliable for the 69 Charger?

Thanks. Yes i would love to see how you did it.

Little update. I tried to give the car air condition and power steering,also alternator is mocked up. Engine need paint,also need to mount the fuelrails and and hoses etc. Not sure about color for the engine,but maby red,i also think red will be the choice for the inside. The cooling package is not decent mounted ,neither is the water pump and distributor on the picture,just mock up. Some pics. Attempt at foil is done for the body. I forget to breath when i cut so i think i`m going to die if had more lol

Looks fantastic,and you even add parking brake wires?

Lovely looking Buick and great paint and foil work

You have done an impressive job on this

Nice Friend of mine have one that look similar but it`s called Cordoba,not sure if same car.

Very cool custom and love the color

Cool Ford Is that an Cadiilac engine?

Amazing model. Same goes to the other you have created

Thanks for the tip. Should maby get this kit anyway.

Sorry,should been more spesific,i did not find what i was looking for.

Thanks! I did not find anything there.

Hi. Is there decals for hoses and stuff to detail up engine rooms? Some hoses like the radiator or hoses for the heater often have white writing / numbers on it. Maby stuff for battery,radiator "warning hot" etc. Tip where to get are appriciated.

It sure look like it have crisp detail. How does it compare to the Tamiya 66 ?

Parts look so much better with primer but it`s to cold right now to paint. Here is the mock up for cooling. Thanks David for advice on the fan. Is this kit really old? It has incredible amount of flash,but easy to get off. There is a lot of cool custom parts in this kit. I see now that i need an electric waterpump. Maby try make the one that is there to look like an electric pump.

As usual i have projects that are going really slow,mostly because of bad planning,ideas that pop up,and the typical having to wait for parts. This one should go okay since i have most of the stuff i will be using. I wanted it to be an soft custom/street machine. I want to keep most visual things stock,but i have sanded down a couple of things on body,top front fenders,and the chrome detail on lower rear panels. The paint is Tamiya white pearl,hard to see the pearl effect on these pics,also need a polish. The BMF is not finish. The powerplant will be an 572cid chevy from VCG with an manual trans. I have modify an intake from the parts box to fit itb fuel injection from model meister. Would want to fit an electric fan in front of the radiator,this or i will cut out the original radiator and fit the radiator from an Dodge Viper i have some parts from. I hope to get this done before 2038 Thanks for looking,and any comments are welcome.

Me too! I get so many ideas i dont even want to think about it : )

One of Jaguar most beautiful cars,and you did a great job on it
