    About the Ferrari 330 P4 resin detail kit: I have one, and counted 65 peices in it.

    Do you have any open wheel race cars left? Or Jags or Ford GTs?

    Need Hood Scoop

    fiatboy replied to GZM2023's topic in Wanted!

    I bought an aftermarket resin 2-piece scoop like that. May be you could find another one. I'm using mine. Sorry, I don't remember what company.

    If I get the whole kit, I'll probably use all the ancillary pieces, like the dry sump oiling system, etc.

    Thanks for the nice comments.

    Thanks for all the nice comments. Somebody at the club said it reminds them of a pizza box!

    Thanks you guys. I will probably buy the kit.

    The wheels tires are very nice on this kit. But the front suspension is just for experts.

    Can anyone recommend a kit?

    Anybody have such an engine? What's a good kit to find such an engine? I am putting a NASCAR chassis, 1/24, under a '69 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1/25. (I wrote about this some time ago. I think I am going to need to buy a kit off of 'ebay'.) Did Ross Gibson ever make one of these? I think his engines were more like 1/23 scale, but I would try one. Thanks.

    A 500cc air cooled engine: not a tiger (LOL)!!

    The kit is a little fiddly, as they say. It has no seperate interterior. But the plastic seems hard, and everything seems to fit well.

    I got the kit from Goodwill for $2.00. The whole suspension and rear end was missing. So naturally I am putting a Corvair-drive-train in it. But to view the engine, I decided to 'modify' the body, shortening it. I intend to make a hearse out of it. What do you think? Right now, I am struggling with installing the dash. Yes, the coffin is a little long, but that's what a razor-saw is for.

    The first 2 pics are of: how the transmission was 'attached' to the frame-rails. It is very simple, and crude maybe. But it is very sturdy, surprisingly.

    Isn't the '64 GTO 1/24 scale?
  16. fiatboy
    Thanks for your comments.

    It is a 1/24 model by Italeri. I guess it is some kind of custom: a restomod of a 1930 Bugatti. I'm swapping out the stock 771ci strait-8, for the WW2 Merlin airplane engine, V12. The only thing I am changing is the engine. Jay Leno has, I think, a classic Bentley with a similar engine; his has 6 twin choke Weber carbs, which I plan to use. Thanks for your interest.

    The interior is one piece, painted 4 different colors.

    Hi All. When I got this model, it had already been started, mostly the rear suspension. I had to cut it apart to build it. And because of this, I had to mount the transmission to the frame rails, instead of mounting it to the 'fender assembly'. It's been like a 3D jig saw puzzle!! So here are some photos. Later, I hope to have some photos of the rear suspension.

    On this build, I widened the whls./tires by 3.0mm; too much I think. I did this with 'hole cutters'. I used the correct paint (ordered from the UK). I am quite pleased with the result of this little cheap model. The cycle fenders were hard to attach: I used v. thick CA glue.

    I'm going to try to post some pics of my Fiat. The engine was very nice, but I messed it up. How do you like those yellow fog-lights? I don't know where I got them from. I decided to go with aftermarket wheels and tires; the kit items were, I thought, too small. In adding these, I had to do quite a bit of chassis and suspension work. Like I said, the engine is very nice.

    Thanks for posting.

    I am interested in the '69 Nova.
  24. fiatboy
    What gage wire could be used to plumb, fuel lines, Hilborn F.I.? This is for 1/25 scale. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Messer. I too am bldg. this '39. I was fortunate enough to come across some tires and rims from the Lincoln Cont. BTW did you shorten the front end?
