I've been watching this one for a while now and have to say that this is one of the craziest, yet coolest , ideas I've seen yet. Great work so far Darren!
Thanks fellas!
Rob: That's what I intend to do. I just cleaned up the hood and dipped into Future and I've already got a kit spotted and will use it for the headlamps and windows. I'll be restoring it to the way it was when I finished it and nothing more.
I built this 30 years ago and is the last kit that I picked up from my parents house over the weekend. This one didn't fare as well as the others that I've picked up from there over the course of the last year or two due to not being in a case. This is probably what the rest of 'em woulda looked like without cases though.
My question is what kit is this? I cannot for the life of me remember.
That's a good idea! What's funny is that I have used guitar string before on other applications and it works great! What you've done here with it looks superb!
Funny thing about this kit and another reason I want it. These are the only pictures of ANY model I've got from the early years. Here's my Revell "Street Demons" 41 Willys about 30 years ago ....
Don't ask about the display or the quality. Ha ha!!! I guess it was my best shot at early photography with a really crappy camera.
My dog is always wanted me to give him stuff. lol. Never seen nuthin' like it.......demanding is just a word lemme tell ya!
Great work so far on that interior. Will be looking in on this one.
Christian: That Electra Glide Harley looks freekin' cool!
Carl: Thanks man. I only have the Chopped Duece (which there aint no way in hell I'm payin' 50 bucks for) and the Sedan Delivery ( which is affordable but nowhere near as hard to find as the 41 Willys kit).
Heya Justin. Ben's right on the money IMO. We all crawled before we walked so take 'er slow with stuff like that and you'll have a lot fewer headaches this early on. Good to see you back on this.
Ok I've got the fuel line formed and laid in place. Rear tires are now on as well as front rotor bearing caps.
To recap....
This is what the kit boxing has for the chassis
and here's where I'm at right now.
With rear tire/ wheels installed and fronts test fitted into place....
Still gotta install the exhaust system and a few other things on the underside but we're getting closer.
