Thanks Tony, very kind of you. It has not been an easy journey with her I can tell you that much!!

Thank you very much Sir Snake

Thanks for the comment Bo, I am almost at the finish line with her!!!

That's funny

That is sad news, hope he get his mojo back for building again. This should be a hobby and an escape from stress, not a source of it Wishing Bill well, thanks for the update

Oh wow, those are really kind words, thanks Thanks mate

Absolutely....will try that clear blue over metal trick, looks awesome!!

Just a little FYI for you when you paruse your Fine Scale Modeller, July issue, My build made the Star Wars Competition section. Just tooting my own horn I will be signing autographs in the lobby all afternoon

Wow, that is a heck of a reference, sorry I missed it before I started this out and thanks for posting I may be over scale but at least I used stainless steel wire Thanks for helping out, Norm

Aha, see I told you the scratch builder would come out

Yep, that is a great plan....opened from the drivers side and more engine details there too I am going to leave her alone for a bit....getting sick of it and I don't want to rush just to finish Thanks for your help Mr Jordan

That is the nicest back end I have seen in a while....unfortunately Some great work there my friend

Hmm, thanks I have some photo etch buckles that will work, that connection is complex. I should probably leave them undone so the engine can be displayed. As usual, a bit more complex than I first thought

Hey Mr Skip, I need a reference for the leather strap attatchments...specifically the hardware that holds the strap to the car. Must have all my good pics on my work computer.

I have not heard that saying before I think we will all live if I have a leather wrapping on the cowl.....remember my beautiful chrome around the cabin of the MG??? I do it just to tic you guys off so you have something to talk about. It is like reality model building...drama, controversy, conflict all that stuff. Thank god I took off the white Dunlop Cord lettering on the tires, someone might have had an aneurism ps I am being sarcastic here if you don't know me. Just building like I build

It is a bit of leather to seal the wind out

Safety wire is done...I took Harry's advice and added a few more cross overs Steering assembly, tie rod and leather hood straps to go. Oh and exhaust too

Yes, I mentioned that to Harry on the previous page and why Cato was alluding to the variation. The patterns are all over the place, so freedom to do as I chose But a dude like Bugatti would still be artistic in how HE wired them

K. What's that do?? Ahhh she has electric motors in her as well as petrol....I get it, sorry I am officially an old fart Carry on building

Thanks Randy Still working out the lacing pattern but I will get there Bugatti did everything with elegance, so too should be that safety wire

Would be a very cool beach car, truck, whatever She is looking good

I miss old model instructions where they taught you engine anatomy as you assembled the kit. So I have to ask, what the heck is that box thing at the back of the transmission with all the orange wires??? Those research pics are great and man that is one complicated bit of engineering

Wise words from a wise man. Thank you sir, that helps immensely

Darn, I was hopping you had some suggestions. As I look through photos there is a HUGE variety Something so simple makes things complex.

Thanks Mike! Harry has me thinking about the wiring though. I think I will cross the other side like he showed an see how it looks Darned if I can find that photo of the leather around the cowling...at any rate it will stay as body surgery on a powder coated metal model was not in the cards
