Trying to come up with wipers, first attempt, think I will try to build a smaller set

Built up a custom set of cab marker lights with faceted lights to follow that mild custom vision. kinda wish I would have used blue lenses, little extra cool but using these.

Wow Scott, this is coming together so nicely

Not sure how much help I will be, did it once, but it worked out. Tomorrow I will get primer on…..I hope. Don’t know much about this resin and to mold in silicone makes me nervous about painting, we will see.

This was an absolute Hail Mary, Bren has printed me a bunch of mirrors and he can’t ship them yet with the postal issues and tariffs thing going on in Canada.

Custom mirrors built.

Well I just resin cast mirror heads and it worked, surprisingly

Trying out resin cast…or I just poured a bunch of red stuff on a good set of mirror heads and they a permanently encased forever in red stuff. See how this goes for the very first time.

I think I saved the grill and hood, no visible damage, let glue dry and check later. PE stuff is nice but man it is so hard to work with.

My suspension and tires/ rims arrived today.

Very interested in your results, the big downside for me, do they finger print after painting.

Just wondering, the front of the bus (hood and fenders) could you have used a pickup truck kit as a donor? If so, I can think of all kinds of cool builds using the school bus body.

Not only do I have butter fingers, I can’t see the s…. I knock off. This whole getting old thing is not going well🤭🫣😵‍💫

Well this got ugly, dropped my hood and knocked off two grill bars. Managed to get everything apart, reglueing the bars in now. See if I can save the hood, I do gotta spare hood if need be. I flippin hate redos

Seen these on YouTube, got a couple yesterday to try out. They work great, applied glue to the recess, picked up light, set in position and it released very well. If they get dirty, just wash and good to go again. Small and large ends.
