  1. Thanks! My thought exactly on the fenders. thanks! I build with a general ide and let the creativity change the project as I go a long and some times a new part that I found kicks my creativity hehe yes I did not meet that deadline with this truck but the Supra I built I managed to make in 3 months… and not 4 years but I ain’t counting hahaha may be so but I hope not! I actually made some progress.. some aluminum parts have been painted in their first alu coat and I have made some structural pieces for the door and " hinge". Also made a filler panel above the defusor among a ton of sanding in many places!
  2. Cool build mate! Love the wheels and engine choice!
  3. Some inspiration for this cool build! A swedish built Covair with mid mounted Audi RS6 40 valve v8 engine. Swedens most beautifull car 2024. David Gunnars bygger Chevrolet Corvair med Audi RS6-maskin - Bilsport He put around 20 000USD of his own money on the build. he bought the car for 800USD and most things are second hand, used parts and an Audi engine and trans is quite affordable here.
  4. I will try an other tool that i think will work as a sharm. the Dimond painting pen, they do have various heads and you use a sticky plastic that you press in to the tool to have the parts to stick.
  5. I got an other idea today, I realized that the crew would have a hard time getting to the engine thanks to the fenders.. so I separated the fenders from the body and made the hood and fenders as a front clip. Might leave the front fascia as a separate piece. Thoughts?
  6. Its sick that they deny repairs and continue to drive in many of these cases! I made a service to a freinds car and they said it had noice from the brakes and yes, the pads where al gone and it was shy a mm until the caliper was damaged. i orderd parts and did the repari
  7. Thanks Dennis! its a basic idea and then it always evolve in to something more exiting :)Thanks again! I realy enjoy coments so please continue to contribute! Thanks Steve! I Think it turned out great now, looks almost like a part of the super bumper which became super agressive. The tires are sligtly taller so it fitts the openings better i think. Thanks again mate! I realy apriciate al the coments that you guys are contributing with!
  8. Have been sanding all over this project and things is looking smother. But biggest update is wheels and tires v 2.

  10. Nice work on the wheels, i deemed the wheels as not workable since they did look so lumpy, but you made them look good!
  11. Sweet build! Looking great!
  12. Great work!
  13. Been smoothing out the body after first primer and I also made the splitter permanent. I also decided that Al the cooling air needed for the engine needs to go some where so I made a hood vent.
  14. Thanks dan! I am also for it so i think i will! It sure did feel good to finally be able to have it one collor instead of al the different ones. Thanks! I agree, it should be flat it suits it better than the old style scoping effect as they had on old TA cars. Hehe they are nice and i like the width but i am leaning on printing a set of new wheels and nwe front tires so i will print these for the rears.
  15. It sure does!! Feelt realy nice to get there and to night i will try to AB som primer on. I post progress pics later
  16. Got my race silverado prepped for first coat of primer
  17. I saw these 2 today, not my picture but i belive its the same cars from UK, Lancia Stratos, replicas, they where well made and used to drive to the north cape and back! I saw them north of the Arctic Circle. And a Integrale was with them.
  18. Got an idea at work today, what doy you guys think of this idea? Open upp the lower openings to become larger air inlets.
