Thx Luis appreciate the compliment Bro

Hey BigEd im glad youre following along , you and I go back a few years... that F-350 was completed almost 4 years ago. Good to have you aboard. Ok fellas i have another small update I was able to get the rear end assmebly almost completed I'll have it done today just have to make a couple small modifications (my calculations werent exact) any way heres what i have for you today. four link and wheelie bars semi complete heres the reas shock assembly ready for installation mock up here you can see the fire wall installed Rear coil over being adjusted.... final mock ..... more updates later today

Job well done John with the paint job, but I thought Id add this. When a Nascar team paints a car the the sponsor and numbers are decals and are applied after the final coat of clear. I have had the oppertunity to see this first hand. So you may not want to clear over the decals on this one. but thats totally up to you. As i already stated Job well done !

Much appreciated Art

Chuck I really dig your style of building and your gonna inspire me to build a rat one day soon

Watch me pull a rabit outta my hat Thx Ron and if you have learned just one thing from this build then that makes it all worth it.

Check with Fourm member Micro Nitro he turns wheels.

Outstanding!

lookin forward to more on this Mark keep the updates comming

Hey Scott I used a larger diameter piece of aluminum tube and threded it on the inside, then cut it to size.

Thx Clutch for checking out the build

Right on point Cesar keep up the great work!

As if I didnt have enough to do already....then you come alone with the great lookng build, now im forced to watch it! LOL! Your doing a outstanding job keep the updates comming

Welcome to Part II "COILOVERS" LOL! I started out with aluminum tubing and a tap & dye set ok on to the pics enjoy..... lets start with these.... And this..... I used an M5X.08 max die to cut threads on the outside of the 1/8 diameter aluminum tube make sure you use cutting oil now. well sorry i didnt do more of a tutorial , but if you have any questions feel free to ask i'll do my best to answer them for you. heres the bottom parts of the coilovers stay tuned and well put the coil overs together and get the wheelie bars done too.....

I just bought a can of tamiya Semi gloss balck from my LHS but i also see it on Ebay.

Mark you are one of the few that I know can fall solely into Cat # 3 100%

Hey Fellas sounds like a simple question Huh? But is it really that simple. you see im not asking what type of models you like to build. Im asking what type of modeler you are. First lets explore the classifications or what would put you or me in any one class, or maybe a cross mix of classes. Class #1. Box Stock: a box stock builder is one who makes the most out of whatever comes in the cardboard box that is supplied with most model kits today. A Kit being made of plastic (or resin in some cases) but is an entire build within itself and will be a completed project when done with out adding anything other than glue, paint, foil and time. Class #2. Multi Media : A multi Media builder is one that will take advantage of all building sorces, Kits (which were described in the above section) ,aftermarket parts being any parts ie. bodys detail parts wheels, wiring etc etc....., and scratch built parts which would be parts that are made by the builder,( scratch built parts made by someone eles would be considered aftermarket parts) and of course modified parts. Class#3 Scratch build: Now this one should sound simple, but its not because you will find those who say they are scratch builders , but in reality they are Kit bashers (which will be discussed next) A true scratch builder makes his parts from raw materials such as sheet styrene, styrene tubes, copper , brass, aluminum, steel etc. they use these mateirals to form the parts need to complete builds ther are very few builders i know who can build a model 100% scratch ( there are some fine ones here on this forum). Class #4. Kit Basher: What is Kit Bashing? KB is an art all to its self its finding the exact parts you need to complete your build in other kits not related or related to the subject one is working on. ie you may want to build a drag car , so you take the chassis form the Revell Pro Street ThunderBird, you use the body from the AMT 86 Monte Carlo SS, the motor from another kit and youve got yourself a kit bashed project. so in examining these 4 classes which class or classes are you in? feel free to comment and post one (1) photo of your best example. oh as for me im a class 2&3

Hey fellas its back go find the original thread.

Thx Richard ,and I got those parts yesturday thx again for your help.
