got exhaust installed now to paint dirt on then interior

Sorry that I havent been building here these last couple of days I just got two kittens and got excited to play and spend time with them and forgot about the model building. But I beter get into it again or it will be a year before i start building it again like on my mustang. Anyway I finished the right exhaust and finished the gas tank.

what did you do to put dirt on the tires?

Introducing my new pet! shes 3 months old she has a sister but shes not in here right now so I took a picture of this one. Also potty trained but no name

Its coming together very slowley, It might not even be strong enough to hold together. I accidentley broke it trying to bend it to shape, and very weak now

I love it I have one in real life, just a 68 4 door but its still nice

nice man Im a big mopar fan

I got one of the custom exhaust pipes installed now still working on the other one though

sorryguys yesterday was my break day but I'm back in the business now here is a picture of ONE custom exhaust, gotta work on the next one

here are the correct turbo mounted manifolds I put some rust on the turbos to make it look more realistic

It turns out I can't put the angled exhaust on either because these fatties make them stick below the tires.

Thats one custom manifold complete Im stupid its supposed to go on the turbo do not look at that picture thats wrong

Hey TFchronos ive always wanted to build one of the trans ams you have to make a smokey and the bandit trans am. How about since you're complementing me on my build after Im finished you could build yours and i can complement you

I swear every single part ive touched on this car has had to be sanded. when i first put the chassis under the body the tires were crammed into the wheel openings, so I had to sand the back part off a little bit and stretch the mount on the body back so it would go back farther. Well once that looked good, I saw the passenger side and got frustrated. The driver side was perfect but the dope heads who came up with this model didn't measure it very well because the passenger side wheel openings were too far back so then I had to turn around and sand the turds out of those. Anyway after a whole bunch of frustration I finally got it picture ready so here you guys are and for exhaust, well the instructions say I have to put chrome sidepipes on it to go on the turbocharged engine. I thought about just putting a different engine in it several times but I thought of a better Idea. just put different exhaust on it. The other day, my dad gave me a turdload of spare parts from all the cars he built when he was my age and one the things that came with them was side exhaust not shiny sidePIPES just the ones that are angled to go out the side. I have spare exhaust line that I will bend to fit position and engine The first pics have the ones that with the kit in them all the other pictures have the ones I want to put on in them. I figured since you guys have been telling "they never showed that in the show" why not put whatever exhaust I want on it here are the desired exhaust for this car

I put the wheels on and tested the turning and its a little off If you turn left they're fine, but for some odd reason if you turn them right the driver side wheel doesn't even go very far and the passenger side wheel doesn't do that when I turn left so somethings up ok nevermind they were just wobbly and because of that didn't go over all the way but when I gave it a tap it went all the way so i am going to glue the wheels on and keep in the position it needs to be

Well actually I just got the stupid rear axle on. I call it stupid because the instructions suck so most of the time I have to figure it out myself. After 20 mins of frustration with the rear axle assembly, mostly the sway bars because they have the weirdest mount ive ever seen, I finished it here are some pics In the last picture I have the wheel mounts turned left because im testing it. I had to ajust them earlier because they were crooked. They look good now though

Once again, you can't see it but I put brown paint on the chassis and faded it to make it look dirt. For the wheels I dipped them in real dirt and sprayed clear coat on them

Ok I'm starting to get my tastes in what steering mechanisms I like to work on and pontiac is not one of them the instructions completely confused me so I had to figure it out on my own and the stupid thing still had to be modified just to fit so that I could have turning wheels Once again, you can't see it but in the third photo I have the wheel mounts turned

However I put the oil changing stick on there, or whatever its called

Nevermind I can't put a dipstick on because the transmission isn't detailed enough. It doesn't have the flat, fat bottom piece on it. Oh my god please excuse my stupidity, Its a manual transmission. Ooooooooops it doesen't have a dipstick. Now im calling myself a dipstick

Alright thanks Do you guys know how make dirt on the car body and chasis, I want to make it look like it was one of the ones they used in the show to drive through the desert in

Ok I hooked the engine up with some spark plug wires

Its actually a question guys you can answer you know

Does anybody know if KITT had A/C because this model doesn't come with it but I can route it if you guys tell me if it did. Sorry I havn't seen the show in so long I forgot almost everything about KITT

I got tired of waiting on spark plug wires so I put the tranny mount on
