These are cobbled together fenders from Revell Black Shadow motorcycle fenders Very fiddly

Made an aluminum oil filler tube on the Sherline

Oil filler tube made from aluminum stock on lathe…two tries as first snapped

Rear bumper installed Bent aluminum tube with brass inside. Still doesn’t bend clean for me

Canada

That kit is $65 ordered online to my door $12.99 is an absolute steal. Love the red BTW 😎

In a long list of pipe dream projects, I came across this photo to inspire another build

Getting close but still miles away from the finish line

I showed that way back before as well It is just fragile so needed to be done nearing the last steps so not wiped away or chipped I changed the fuzzy black around the windscreen too as it looked weird

Tubes tinted with clear yellow Tamiya Wiring harness getting organized Soldered throttle linkages up Third cement attempt of engine block into frame, this time with contact cement. Headers glued in and spark plug wiring done

Made new shocks for the front end to match the lowering Telescoping brass and soldered rounds saved the headlight mounts in styrene These will get Revell chromed some time today

This is a ‘30

Getting back on track with the engine and adding firewall details

Tickets anyone?

Yes this is my process in pictures. Haven’t quite got the frame right yet

Wasn’t digging the green. Switched it out for a tinted acrylic and I popped the hinged door off out of its support and broke the a pillar and one of the chop sections on the window frame

Dashboard done and in Then some glass. I sprayed the kit glass Tamiya smoke which looks dark and cool….but the pieces fought me going in I remembered a birdie saying the glass was green tint and I have some acrylic sprayed different clears so green it is. A good complementary colour with yelliw I am still quite a ways off from finishing and there are lots of bits and boogers to tidy up

I am waiting on chrome spray to dry on exhaust and engine parts Can’t touch that Revell for a good couple days or fingerprints. UPdate: yep it is about three days and then things seem set enough to handle without leaving fingerprints and smudges Everything I have read and seen says not to clear coat or you lose the chrome shine.

Bit of an engine tear down to fit a brass alternator support Was having a hard time stabilizing it until saw this reference. The resin printed supports were too weak, the brass one screws into the block Tore it all back off and got some Revell chrome paint done, will be a couple days to dry solid. Now I hope to get back on track.

Superb Good luck in your competition

Looking great. You are almost there with it!

Great idea Will cut the plate off the block and try that aluminum wrap for the frame…I have some thin pop can or shim stock to try 👍🏻😎

Who’s buffing out the stray furs?? Project is looking great 👍🏻😎 hi to the cat

Thanks man Hope you are doing well 😎

One tried on the car. I think the paint colour nailed it. super hard to get that script right
