  1. Same old, Same old, the story of my life. What is the point of doing tests if the results are like this??????????????????????
  2. Absolutely, this and the XKEs have been my long time favourites.
  3. There it is, warts and all... This would likely look at home with a songle axle trailer with a round front.
  4. Added a rear crossmember to hang the teilights on. I might beef it up and add a pintle hook. Added fifth Wheel anddrive shaft.
  5. Made some headlight bezels out of bright wire. Working on glass. I wish I could find an equivalent to the old testor's canopy glue.
  6. I know, I know, the wheels are of a different diameter and it isn't a dragster. I am in a "use what you have" mode. Added an extension to the das in order fot it to reach the base of the windshield.
  7. In the purple bath to get rid of the mold release agent.
  8. After much fiddling to make the body , the engine, the interior and the front axle jive it was decided that it will be cubside and that the 216 will return to its spot in the collection.
  9. Thanks Anthony, I belive it is from Flintstone Resins.
  10. Added some detail to the wheels, touch ups required of course. The window patterns are taken. Debating between a Duesenberg dash or a Nascar dash
  11. Nothing fits so rearranged the front sprins so that the axle can be better located and started carving a notch in the firewall to match the doghouse.
  12. Adjusted the axle levels to provide a more level ride height. Made up some backing for the wheels with the "Use what you got" philosophy. Added some Meng nuts to the front wheels.
  13. This is more or less how it is going to go on the chassis. This means it is back to the drawing board for the interior.
  14. Found a front crossmember that fits the engine perfectly.
  15. Made up a firewall using a cardboard pattern. Enlarged the wheelwells using the automatic wheelwell enlarger.
  16. Cutting up a classic car interior to fit and added a little doghouse to clear the rear of the engine.
  17. Rounded up some suspension bits including some resin springs that are a bit sorry looking. Cut some hangers from a piece of appropriately shaped sprue.
  18. I had a 216 in the collection. it will go in there.
