    Going together, just starting final assembly

    Another epoxy build attempt (who does this, it's the second one I have rescued the other was a B58) At any rate with what was left of the kit this is what I came up with, and a picture of the B58

    Great work Tim, just fantastic modeling!
  4. Ian McLaren
    Thankyou Francis I'm reasonably happy with the look so far, Making a couple of changes and adding the rest of the lines

    To be honest I have plumbed a few real cars in the past so I have a feel for how the hose reacts in the real world. This Hilborn system threw me a curve so changes in the schematic are in progress

    I just can't imagine the amount of time and effort involved with bending, fitting and assembling the brake lines to this level. I'm working in a larger scale on a car with only rear brakes and it's one of the most challenging things I've done to this point, and it's going to get redone one more time after seeing what you have accomplished here. What material are your lines made of?
  7. Ian McLaren
    For what it's worth I agree with Claude and Francis here, let the art of your work show through! The polished rear cover and bolts will add contrast and interest to the assembly.
  8. Ian McLaren
    Yes Tim starting assembly puts a completely different feel to the project. You actually start to think there's an end somewhere.

    Cleaning up the fuel system, staring control cables.

    Working on the fuel system and engine.

    I love the progress, another great update. It feels good to be painting something in a gong endeavor like this one.
  12. Ian McLaren
    Happy with the long weekends progress. Stopping to help getting supper ready.
  13. Ian McLaren
    The colors definitely work together, good choice. Having sold Wilwood for a number of years your replicas are superb. Awaiting the next update.

    Machining your own headlamp lenses? Ok now your just showing off! LOL

    Headers are painted, fuel pump in progress, interior tin has been painted (Smoked Red) and the steering gear is ready to install. The only original part of the gear assembly is the box casting itself, all shafts are metal, crossmember and pitman arm are scratch built and the steering wheel is Future Attractions with real wooden grips added, a RB Motion bolt and nut pin with washers was used to attach the pitman arm.

    Another piece of amazing work, looking forward the the next update

    Thank you for the complement Jim I am honored you like my work. I have really been pushing myself on this one. I am however, nowhere near the level displayed by many of the modelers just on this thread alone let alone the full site. Their work never ceases to amaze me!
  18. Ian McLaren
    After many attempts, colors and techniques I have a grasp on the smoked Red anodizing used on this car, now I can finish the tin.
  19. Ian McLaren
    The color you made/picked will suit the car perfectly, Fantastic.
  20. Ian McLaren
    Francis, another great update,the bumper looks spot on. Congratulations on 1000 replies, Thiss is one of the truly standout projects ever to have been on this site.

    Tim the dragster is just in the preliminary stages of gathering parts and the valve covers and slicks with their wheels are the star attractions of the build. The funny car is the priority right now but it will probably stop just short of completion as Chuck is really backed up on decals and this being a one off deal will have to wait till he has the time to draw them.
  22. Ian McLaren
    Oh boy is that pretty! Excellent work I'm going to have to pick your brain regarding building FED bodies.
  23. Ian McLaren
    Scale 17 16 W's Dragway Specials again for the next one!
  24. Ian McLaren
    Almost worth switching to a Donovan for these, next project!
  25. Ian McLaren
    Some progress today just had to mock it up to see if everything still fits
