Good Job my friend , Now drop that baby in a car and start her up

I guess that is alot huh?....

Really nice build Jim keep up the good work.

Painted and completed ballist

Hey fellas here the rest of the xenon light build I was able to hook up the harness , and build the ballist hope you enjoy.... And heres the pics of the Ballist build...... here you see the sides measured and marked here the sides have been cut and glued to the top. Heatsinks cut out and ready for gluing Gluing heatsinks on......

WOW! I got one LOL! sorry Bro this one wont actually be lighted (altho I thought of giving it some LED's) it's just made to look as tho it will function. Im sorry for the deception Romell

I too like the story line and the build looks to be one that I will have to watch. keep up the good work.

Always my pleasure Marcos

You are correct Jim Just keep watching and you'll see a ballast appear right before your eyes (POOF!)

Hey Thx for the compliments first off. Secondly I use a pinvise to drill small holes, it holds very small drill bits of various sizes, you can get them online or at your local hobby store. and when I cut doors open I use the back of a #11 exacto blade, or sometime I take the expensive route and use two kits. (For an explanation check my build where I opened the doors.)

SO youre the one putting all those crazy images in my head!! LOL Thx again Brain

Well heres part 2 of the headlight build I didnt have time to post it earlyer so I saved it till now. I couldnt just build the xenon bulbs I had to make the wiring harness that hooks up to it so without further adue....... This is the area i'll be working with I cut 1mm strips from Tamiya masking tape for my wire wrap.... Then wrapped my wires with it once the wires were wraped I used a black sharpie to color them black here I have cut 2mm pieces from the same octgon rod I used earlyer. These will be the plugs that connect to the back of the bulb housing. They will slip right onto the tube sticking out the back. The completed harness....

Hey fellas wanted to throw this small update at ya. I wanted to add xenon lights to the build as I will have them on the 1:1 and while I was at it I decieded to detail the entire front end with a wiring harness for the headlights I hope you enjoy.... I started by drilling a small hole in each headlight cup... Then i needed to drill a hole down the middle of this octogon rod from evergreen once that was done I cut four 1mm sections from the rod....then they were painted with a silver base and a Tamiya clear blue Then a very small piece of stainless tubing was cut into four 6mm pieces and the painted rod was put on the end of the tubes and installed in the headlights then the covers were installed

I dont know bro I wish you well with one .....It's just me tho I hate any kind of molested plastic, if i cant get it fresh off the tree I'd just assume let it stay someone eles problem. but im sure you can turn this ugly duckling into atleast a decent swan. LOL !

NO NO NO! Do Not Worship me! All I am is a fellow slave of you and of your brothers.......Worship God! Rev.22:9 Thank You so much for your compliment.

Thx fellas you all make me blush LOL! To have compliments comming from modelers like yourselves I am touched to the core.

Hey fellas I just want to share the latest with ya. I got the body on today which means I can start to do all the f inishing details (my favorite part). see if you can find everything I've done. This pic shows the door jam panels which I polished to a mirror finish. And the door locks that actually work. I was able to get the trunk hinged and if you look close at the left hing (driverside) you can see the clip I made to lock the trunk in the up position. Here you can see the key hole on the driver side door.... And a parting shot...

Hey Tony thanks for a great idea I just might do it LOL! i still need to install a dip stick.

Great cant wait for the next installment!

That is one Heck of a build!!! congrats on your win and I hope you dont mind but I saved the finished pics in my favorite models folder. keep up the outstanding work! Romell

Nice build but dont rush it for a show, Ive seen too many good models ruined because they were rushed at the last minute. Take your time and if your not ready for this show, you'll be ready for the next one.

Hello I decieded it was time to put the body on the chassis , but I had to install the windows first. I went and found the windows in the box also to find that they were scratched small scratches but they were there just the same. so I pulled out the ol Pleadge future so i can dip all the windows in it. Future not only takes care of the scratches but it makes the windows crystal clear. For those of you who have never used future I'll show you just how simple it is to use. once you fill a small bowl with the future clamp your clear part to something so you can stand it up after you dip it. Then dip the part slowly so you dont create air bubbles (if you do make a few small ones dont worry about them.The future has a self leveling property that makes it smooth itself out and small bubbles will dissappear once you stand the part up to dry.) Then take the part out with one smooth motion, making sure not to splash it let the extra run off the part...... Now immediately and gently run the bottom edge of your part across some paper towel or a napkin. this lets the excess drain right off the part then put it up to dry takes about 30 mins to fully cure. im also doin the head light lenses so that they have that brand new clearness to them. Once the windows have dried you can install, I use 5 min Epoxy because its thick, and it drys fast and it wont stain my new windows. I place just a little inside the body and let it get tacky (let it sit about 1 min) then I put the window in on top of it And thats all to it......
