The basic concept has come together pretty well. The jig has helped, but every time I unscrew to work underneath or to look at it, and put it back on, a slight shift happens, so it's not perfect. I'm still thinking about using the front wing, is that too crazy? The engine bay, the Indy car had to fit everything into a narrow body, this is like a warehouse! It's not elegant design wise, form follows function, but it looks like a fire lookout tower. The oil cooler is set on the left side, what was the radiator is now a flat air filter on the right side. The exhaust is one piece of copper wire, fabricated the muffler and put on before bending the back end, then slid into position and glued on. The tip is stainless steel tubing, happened to fit perfectly. Aluminum plate for a mount tab. I re-routed the waste gate exhaust into the main pipe. I had to raise the deck behind the window up a little, decided to keep the same air scoops but opened up, added a slot scoop at the roof trailing edge. I will have photo-etch grills, have not decided on which pattern yet. Need to make different taillights. Interior needs some work. This is at the rough Dremel shaped stage, no sanding/filling/more sanding yet, that progress won't be obvious. Glad we can post pictures directly again!

Cool, can post pictures again! I have some catching up to do. Here I have chopped up the 904 chassis pan, and used for bulkhead. Front clip has been modified. I repurposed the deck grill into the radiator, when the photo-etch radiator face goes over this, it should be killer! Made the two side box bulkheads, which will hide the body/chassis screws. Opened up the rear for a grill opening, and made rear mounts for the transmission. I have also screwed the engine to the chassis. Front suspension is modified. The race car spring setup, no clue how that worked, I reversed the action arm direction, and added the cheap lighter valve spring/shock unit. I also made it steerable, the race kit did not. I added some to the fender flare too, which is Dremel shaped to a closer gap. Just for giggles, I wanted the steering wheel to also turn when the fronts wheels are turned. I made a gearbox, but ditched it because it was not working smoothly. I figured out a lever system, it's hidden when complete so it does not need to be realistic.

To tell you the truth, I didn't know much about the 904 until recently. Thank you. Sure thing! I should start a new topic on just the cutter.

Way cool. Love the location. Now I know fire extinguishers are blue.

It's whatever I own at the moment. I had a '48 Chevy 5 window pickup, a '57 Chevy 4 door station wagon, a '69 Chevy pickup, currently a '68 Chevy pickup, so for today 1968. Also had an '88 Oldsmobile but that doesn't count.

I know many of us are frustrated with the vapor-locking website here. It could be worse, and beyond anyone's control. https://news3lv.com/news/local/geomagnetic-storm-heading-toward-earth-could-produce-auroras-in-us

because of software

This is only an opinion guess shot-in-the-dark. It's not that you want some of the carbon color to show through the paint (yellow?), but the texture seen from light reflection? I would think, that if the decal is not totally snug down, you will have creases, and the edges will show more obviously when painted. I've painted seats using a brass screen as a mask, to get a fabric pattern. I suggest spraying the color through a screen, and then a light mist with the same color. I'm willing to bet that will create more of the texture, than a decal with a very thin silkscreened layer. It shouldn't be a big deal the sheet of "carbon-fiber" is accurate, would have a few screen pieces prepared for the curves, and of course flat sections are duh flat. But what do I know, I have a Porsche GT1 that I've wanted to do the prototype of, before it was painted, but am afraid to.

LMAO I would go for that!

All I want is a windshield squirter aimed backwards on my spoiler, filled with WD40, for tailgaters.

Thanks for the update. Its not as spectacular of a failure as when Flickr did their "awesomeness" update, that was legendary.

pictures, maybe not

Drag and drop not working for me now. Notice says it's downloading, waited much longer than before, never uploaded.

Seen you before. Another word for crazy. Thank you!

*edit* Hey, this worked for me! Thanks Russell.

This reminds me of when Flickr decided "more awesomeness" was needed, and they so trashed their website that people bailed. They made it like a firetruck had a garden hose. It was legendary to tech geeks, simply annoying to everyone else. If we are forced into using another site to host photos, that's about a dozen more steps. If cost is an issue, I would be willing to subscribe for using this forum. Let's see if this works.....

There was a problem processing the uploaded file. -200 So, the forum has been "improved".

Yea, server changes eh? I've appreciated being able to post pictures directly. I can go through the extra effort using Flickr..... expect less activity.
