Adding parts. Lots of nice detail in this kit.
-
The paint ended up semi gloss. So it will be a Jag which sat in the sun a lot.
-
Engine is done. I am pre painting some sub assemblies while the battle with the paint continues.
-
I will be learing the red.

When I was a kid I collected car tokens in Jell-o boxes and potato chip bags. the Xke had struck me as absulotely beautiful. Later, my mom bought me the 1/8 for christmas. it has been a favourite since the. several years ago I built a roadster. Now is time for the coupe.

The body comes from Jimmy Flintstone and the hauler from the AMT kit.

Done
-
Since everything is in a different location added spacers to the stacks and mounted them.
-
Mounted the transporter body to the chassis.
-
Adding detail to the cab.
-
Yes, Jimmy Flintstone.
-
Hope I wont get ostracized for the colour choice. Started adding glass and details to the cab.
-
Home made interior to haul the entire crew. The exhaust system is in place. They will come up between the cab and the transporter body.
-
Cobbled up a rad and closed the tire rack area.
-
Is this blue too "baby" for this truck?
-
Carl, I will lengten the pice ahead of the muffler so that the turnout is behind the cab. then I'll install the chrome stacks there. At least that is the plan.
-
Now I have to do thye same to the exhaust pipes to bring them to the rear of the cab.
-
Because we had to set the rear axle back on account of the longer cab, I had to adjust the drivehafts accordingly using the straw sleeve method. Once painted, it look not too bad.
-
We have wheels.
-
Some primer, the engine choices and some window patterns
-
Icut off the rack too.Not sure how I'll finish it.
-
Looks like I have the axles in the right place. Initially I was going to use the Detroit Diesl engine but I think The Cat from the kit is a better fit.

I must be getting old.
