  1. Thanks Aaron,and here is the body painted with Rustoleum bright coat base,Alclad II Candy Electric Blue,And Tamiya pearl clear for the top coat.While I wait for this to cure I will carry on with finishing the chassis.Cheers,thanks for looking. Ron.
  2. Thanks for that info,good to know.Now I got to get that kit.
  3. Very sweet build Brian.Hmm.. saw a Hippie Hemi at the LHS last time I was there,looks like a good base for all kinds of variants!Cheers. Ron.
  4. Thanks very much for the kind words,I appreciate them.Cheers, Ron.
  5. Looks good Lee.The main thing is to have fun and learn as we go.Cheers, Ron.
  6. Hello all, I have plumbed up the engine fuel lines and ignition wires.The lines are a bit out of scale,but I just used what I had on hand and the LHS does not carry any scale line material.Ignition wires are from Detail Master.This kit is a real bear to assemble,I don't think any part can be assembled without having to modify or replace it! Probably will be OK once finished though.Thanks for looking. Ron.
  7. Thanks guys and I'll be painting it pearl blue.I have got most of the body work done so will be laying on the paint soon.I have most of the smaller parts and sub assemblies painted so it should start to come together very soon.Thanks for looking. Ron.
  8. Hey thanks Aaron,I made a light box from foam core board and some led puck lights.I'm going to make light box 2.0 and I will post how to build one for about $20.Cheers.
  9. Hello all, Here is my buildup of this kit.I scratch built a new gas tank and radius-ed the wheel openings more to accept slightly larger slicks.Painted it with a blue metallic flake nail polish.It was a fun kit to build and went together pretty well.Thanks for looking. Ron.
  10. Well,here we are,this one is finished.All in all a nice little kit and had fun building it.Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ron.
  11. Hey Bill,you are welcome.As far as the putty goes it is air drying so no hardener and I looked up Bondo 930 and that stuff cures with UV light so it is not the same.The stuff I use is more like Bondo 907 just plain air dry spot and glaze putty.Cheers, Ron.
  12. Very cool little mouse!It's a cool little kit with lots of possibilities.Cheers. Ron.
  13. Hey Bill,the red stuff is good old Automotive spot putty to fill some of the gaps and the wheelbase is 5 inches.Cheers, Ron.
  14. Here is a start on my newest kit,I swear I have to stay away from my LHS,as it has about the same strength as a black hole for sucking the money out of my wallet! Anyway,I have lower the stance of the car by using the excellent instructions by Wayne Stevens Jr.Here is how it's looking. Cheers, Ron.
  15. Thank you all for the kind remarks Here is an update on this one.I made a new fuel tank for it,the kit one looks like a blob.Have to decal it now and then add the final details.Thanks for looking. Ron.
  16. Hello all I picked up the Slingster kit from my LHS and have started the build up of the Competition coupe version.I modified the stock wheels to accept the AMT parts pack MH racemaster dragster slicks and radius-ed the wheel openings to suit the larger diameter tire.The body has been painted with blue metal flake nail polish.Hope you like it and thanks for looking.Cheers, Ron. The body and wheels are not centered in this pic so they are sticking out more than they really do
  17. Hello all, Here is my build up of the dragster from the Double Dragster kit.I really enjoyed this buid.Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ron.
  18. Hello all,thank you everyone for the kind remarks and comments during this build.Here it is all finished up.Thanks for looking and there are more pictures in the Under Glass section. Cheers Ron.
  19. Hey Thanks very much guys,and Nick I think I am going to just leave body the way it is for now but I found out last week that my LHS can get the flintstone stuff very easily so I will build another fuel coupe a bit later.I am going to try and get some red numbers for this one.Here is an update on the mill for this baby.Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ron.
  20. Thank you everyone for the kind remarks.Just a wee update on the fuel injection setup.Made the injector stacks from .093" plastic tube and plumbed them up with some fine transformer wire from Radio Shack.Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ron.
  21. Thanks guys,and here is a little update on this one. Cheers, Ron.
  22. Hey Steven,thank you very much and as far as a tutorial is concerned,I am going to be building another chassis very soon so I will document it a little bit more to show how I formed each part of the steering components.Cheers, Ron. P.S. please make this crazy winter up here, to stop !
  23. Thanks a lot and yeah I had to use that motor from the Model T Ford 3 in 1 kit.It's a cool little piece,huge ejector pin marks in the carbs not withstanding!and I like the blower belt and pulley set up, as they are narrower than the usual width of them. Cheers, Ron.
