WOWSER....that is a Looker for sure Nick. Someone once ask, what inspires you to build. Well....this is what inspires me. I'll never have a model come off my bench looking this good but it's nice to see it done so good. Great job.
Well, it's been a while but the weather was great today so I got the Henry J back in primer. I'll be trying to get a decent Brilliant orange paint job tomorrow as the weather is going to be nice tomorrow as well.
Got a little bench time this morning. Since the rear end was a little on the short side I had to figure out a way to lengthen it. I ended up cutting the outer portion of the differential off on both sides and graphing on some stainless steel rivets I had. Worked out really nice and fit into the wheel backing perfectly. I also mocked up the intake and carbs to see if it would fit in the engine bay with the hood shut. Just not sure yet. I did fit the roll cage out of the 67 Chevelle in the 55 and it could probably work with some tweaking here and there. Just not sure if I'm going to use it.
That snow crest white looks nice and clean. bmf and I do not play together well but yours turned out really nice. That interior looks really nicely done.
Good looking Tamiya kit. The Testors flat gray works pretty good. The wheels & tires make the gray pop. Kinda reminds me of the Tamiya Ford Mustang GT4 I bought. I heard the Tamiya kit were great quality so I had to get one.
Thanks James. I ran into a small issue. The rear tires need to be moved further out towards the fenders. Tomorrow I'll modify the differential to push the wheels out further.
