Thanks

Thank you

ars with a much more minimal cost. Loving the hobby, trying to get better each build. Thanks for looking

Hi Steve. I wrote in the Wip, I have become really interested with the lowered suspensions and the workings of it all. Living in NEW England doesn’t make a lot of sense to lower my 1:1 cars (Subaru legacy and Toyota Avalon), winters do a lot of damages to roads, etc. working on these models make me feel like Dave Kindig, designing and fabricating some cool looking c

Thanks

Thanks. I was actually going for it to be a lil lower, but underestimated the tire size of 22 inches, needed a little more arch in the frame (I thought there was a ton already) to get it to the ground.

Thanks

Thank you, it was fun and a real learning experience

Great looking build. The engine detail is amazing. Nailed the color, highlights those lines and the stance is spot on. Great job

Very well done. The cap looks great, followed in WIP. Good stuff

Nice looking blazer. I really like how you stage ur pics, as well.

My latest completed build, 9th auto model. Ferrari Rosso #304 and semi-matte aluminum. Afkrmkt engine and suspension parts from iceman collections. 3 piece Wheels & tires, 22 thrusters from tx3dcustoms. Misc parts from model garage, shape ways and detail master. Had a great time building this. Said in the Wip, “ never thought I would buy a nice kit and chop it up so much”, my dremel was my best friend. Proud of how it came out. Thanks for looking.

Thank you

Thanks for the look

completing the final details. Ready to post under the glass. Thanks for looking

So here’s a little update. I have switched from a candy red to Ferrari Rosso #304(original). The candy was nice, but I did the hood& cab think I over sprayed it, as it came out a scarlet/burgundy color, which didn’t fly. I went with OG Ferrari red and happy with choice. 2k clear applied as well. I finished the body mods, except the bed, which I am doing a real wood bed, elevated to hide the frame work, fuel cell and air ride equipment. Fab’d the basswood strips, styrene for bed rails. Hoping to have it open and close. got most of trim done and got some trim in dash to complete. Engine is getting there and mounted. Squeezing that monster into the engine compartment was tight, but made a custom firewall and squeezed it in. Stance is set and wheels are painted and added the redline stripe on tires. That’s all for now , peace out and model on!!!

They call me mellow yellow …. Nice looking bronco and the color is coooool!!

Thank you sir

I just used a paper clip and snipped it on each side after sliding thru the drilled holes and the loop at top of the stabilizing bar. For me, it allowed me get it set and move a bit to set, to anchor to the frame. The ones I did were my first attempt, so I think they could be done a little cleaner, but not going backwards. iceman collections and mypartsbox420 on eBay, sell some great aftermarket items, especially the lowered suspension items. I saw someone make the independent suspension arms on the front by bending wire/paper clip to shape with a loop at the top of the arm, to fit the strut(top & bottom). Then bent the ends 90 degrees and slid ends into round hollow stock, that can me mounted to frame. The arms float up and down nicely. I bought the front kit already, and compared the 2 and wire seemed a little thin, but think it works and would be to scale. Iceman collections sells a universal lowered frame that is adjustable in length and comes with entire suspension parts, bags and brakes, if you want to spend 30 bucks and make it easy on yourself.
