Oh, question: do the models have to have underside detail? I was thinking of stuffing huge engines into some smaller cars, like a V8 Beetle, but the underside would be quite complicated to do realistically.
Dad and I worked on one of our motorized bicycles and got it to run clean. Even managed to get it to idle, which it wouldn't do a year and a half ago, when it was last run.
SBC engines make good junk pieces in junkyard scenes! They don't interest me too much, except for Potvin blown ones. If I end up getting one of these, I'll drop a Cadillac or Poncho engine in it.
There's a down top right behind the bars. I tried making a hardtop, but it didn't look right. As for the headlights, I lost them, and I wanted to have something finished. You all should know how I get almost done and then set something aside!
Scout's all done and in glass: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?s=3823dd9dc8a809fbcef949d5cac960c2&showtopic=101637
Might come up with something else soon... Time will tell. Keep building, guys! (Secretly rooting for that junker Ferrari 250 )
