  1. I had planned to use brass rod which would be easier. I had the plastic rod on hand Thats why they sell glue..for those accidents Thanks..I was already warned this was going on in laws fireplace mantle when its finished
  2. Thanks Steve ! I was trying to keep everything to scale by doing them w rod. I mocked up a white metal set first, but didn't care for the look. I found a set of ultra rare mirrors w mounts w the right curvature for the 2 part side mirrors I wanted to replicate. They probably came from an Ollie's 4300 kit.. I removed the molded on mounts, sanded the back smooth, then cut them about 1/4" wide. Each side gets 2 heads. Heres the real deal How they began... After the chopper.. I need to replace one edge after chopping them, probably a strip of square rod will work. Thanks for riding along!
  3. Fantastic work so far !
  4. I fabbed up a pair of west coast style mirror mounts today! After looking over several kit mirrors, aka telephone poles, I grabbed some evergreen rod and got busy bending. I chose 030" rod for a scale appearance. Meng bolts finish off the mounts. Surprisingly it went fairly quick, after a couple snapped bends. Tomorrow I'll tackle the actual mirror heads, and blind spot mirrors on the hood . Thanks to everyone following along !
  5. good looking build ! Too bad your not keeping it for your collection, but the new owner will definitely love it
  6. well done on your KW alaskan hauler
  7. great color on your Foose Ford ! I'll parrot what Tom mentioned about the glass, mine clicked in so well, it was never glued. I've mis-handled that build more than any other, and the glass hasn't shifted. An extremely fun build to break up long projects. Doing a quick search here turned up tons of Foose builds, showing how many fall together
  8. keep up the progress, the add-ons will make for a fantastic bike
  9. absolutely stunning work! The pre-shading panels, then drawing lines around areas really give a dimension to the parts making everything cohesive.
  10. your Ford is looking good..as well as a Ford could look haha
  11. nice progress and info so far
  12. Looking forward to this release. I drove a friend's cajun red 4 door squatch when he received it. Very cool vehicle to drive around his hunting camp
  13. Great job on the orange ! Enamels gassing out seems like it takes forever, but they hold their shine really well Looking forward to your progress
  14. Looking forward to your build! The printed cab looks very clean
  15. I airbrushed a few decanted coats of camel yellow over the Micro-mark rivet sheet, and allowed to dry overnight. After work, I cut them into strips and laid them down. I couldn't be happier how they turned out There's a few lights and mirrors to install, then wrap up the frame. The doors will be last
  16. Excellent job! White is such a perfect color for the Countach
  17. Great idea using the flashing, its very this and easily cut to shape
  18. Your winch bed and chain rack look great Especially like the light bar
  19. I unfortunately can't link the fotki page from fb that trail king posted.
