  1. Not much to show, I did spend a few hours sorting through a lot of small white metal parts. I was trying to get them in order per instruction sheet. It is quite tedious, the parts are not marked, so you need to look at the pictures. Speaking of pictures there are no color call outs for most of the model. You have to do a bunch of research ?. these are all parts for step one. I also have to pay attention to which side is the intake side(pic#3)and the exhaust side(pic#4) still need to clean and prime before I paint
  2. I feel you! I did take your lead I started on the wheels, I may opt out on the discs
  3. No time to go nuts. But it is a Porsche! Lol
  4. Very cool ?
  5. As most of you know Bruce and I are part of a group build of this particular car/kit. I just hope I can come close to what I am sure Bruce will nock out of the park. Thank you for looking and I hope you like Chris
  6. So this is how it begins ??? what color are going to paint the wheel center? Blue or orange. It may look good in black
  7. Thanks buddy! We should be up there more this year
  8. Getting a early start I see ?!! can’t wait to get mine! Should be fun, but I do see quite a few phone calls between us ?
  9. Tim... that’s a amazing job on the rear end, I’m looking forward to seeing how you do your chassis. Looking forward to seeing more ?
  10. Amazing build buddy! You did this one right, hopefully I will see it soon
  11. I sure did when I did mine last year
  12. Well sir, glad to see you didn’t need a lot of feed back to make your decision. Glad to see you were able to get some time to work on your project. Can’t wait to see what you come up with on the frame.
  13. I like Leno’s car, I’ve seen them with chrome roll bar and black pipes, and the standard chrome and chrome. And here is one that is black and black
  14. That is flat out gorgeous!! Well done my friend
  15. Couple weeks!?... I’m sure if you have the chance it will be done sooner ? Arts shop is Scale Pro Shop! I got a couple things for the Porsche from him(braided lines).. I also hope the shows open soon.
  16. Bruce! This is so cool. I am glad you are able to take some time to work on this. I had the same joy on the gauge cluster except the photo etched needles? the nice part I think is the aluminum bezels. the wiring is fantastic, well worth the effort. keep it up!!
  17. Great update Tim, it’s a pleasure to watch your work
  18. Waiting on yours, the therapist is on standby ?
  19. Thank you Tim. Coming from you, it’s a great compliment ?
  20. Married the two half’s, it on its feet!
  21. So...I felt like a kid yesterday, waiting for the mail to arrive. After what seemed like a lifetime to get my RB Motion order. I then proceeded to rip into my tiny package and went directly to the work bench to start the process of installing the fittings. I didn’t realize how late it was, until I looked up at the clock and saw it was 1am? I didn’t even have half of what I needed to do, finished. I spent most of my Tuesday working on it as well. Enough of my rambling!! Thanks for looking Chris
  22. Bruce.... You have my # ? the therapist is very secretive. But if you really need it, give me a ring. You will need this person when the 917-30 gets really going. As for the Cobra, it is coming out fantastic!! I do admire your ability and hope to get to see this in person soon. Keep it in my friend.
  23. Thank you!! Just checked them out, great stuff!
  24. I am looking for a manufacturer, small business or anyone who does or is willing to make 1/12 scale Drag slicks and front tires. I am gathering information and doing research on building a large scale street outlaw style car. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris
