  12. Hey, everyone!, just wanted to share my SB automotive dolly. It was inspired by one of my top three favorite builders -JC, and was designed with the Pagani style. All that's left to do is to final sand, and paint. it is totally adjustable, but doesn't really roll...lol -thanks for checking it out!
  13. Thanks Adam!!...its time for the klean-up, final sanding, and then paint!!
  14. Hey, everybody!, I've been pretty busy with life these past few days, and forgot to post the rest of what I was working on a few days ago. I tried to find internal photos of these two parts, to find out exactly what they are, but to no avail. I'm almost 100% positive that they are air boxes to cool the front brakes. In the end, I guess it doesn't really matter, since it will be almost totally in shadow, so if I just paint it as I see it, it will look like its suppose to no matter what they really are. -Photo 1; I started off by making a bracket that went all the way across the front end. I needed to have them attached, because I had a previous attempt at making them individually......MASSIVE balls-up!! This way I could be assured that they were totally aligned the same. -Photo 2&3; These photos show how I glued the square styrene stock to the bracket. The back side is flush with the back edge of the bracket. -Photo 4&5; In these photos, I am gluing a front, and back side to the boxes...then adding round tubing to simulate the real thing. -Photo 6&7; Here the whole assembly is cleaned up, and the tubes are sanded down to the proper height. -Photo 8&9; Somehow I am missing the photo of the whole assembly being put in place first on top of the headlamp buckets. While it sat in this position, I used styrene "L" stock to make the top two brackets, followed by the bottom ones....they worked a treat!! -Photo 10; After adding inner, vertical uprights for supports, I cut the center portion away to let the boxes be fitted individually. -Photo 11; I tacked them in for an individual test-fit, and they worked great still! -Photo 12; They totally have the right look, and I can actually get away with snipping-off those two inner vertical uprights. Next I will be final sanding/assembling the body for the painting process, while adding two rear cooling fans, oil cooler, and the two main radiators.

  19. This is a happy-sad story, but still an interesting one!!….I've always loved that yellow Ferrari on the box...as well as wondered why it was a customized one just for advertising a display case. The Ferrari looks GREAT!!, thanks for sharing its story!!
  20. That looks like a replica car...we had one driving around here for a minute...….those wheels gotta go!!!!
  21. Where does one start??...EVERYTHING about this is just WOW!!!! Obviously the paintjob is a masterpiece in its own right, but the wheels/tyres you chose -PERFECT!...the exhaust relocation -BRILLIANT!...the roof details -Outstanding!......right down to the little touches like the eyelids on the headlamps!!!!
