Working on the rear frame rails jig.

Hi Randy, thanks for kind comment!

Still working on this one, working at the front end right now plus also at the rear too..

Bill, as you know in another thread where you replied to me and gave me very very kind comments on my one build and I replied back to you, I been following this build basically from day 1 and you and this build are the ones that really inspired me to do what I am doing on the '69 Charger build that I am working on. You really push the bar on this project to new heights my friend. I am always checking in to see if you made any updates or not as I love the work you done on this project. Keep up the very great work and keep the progress updates coming!

I'm on xBox360 live GTA4 as M0ParmanJim

Ok, Gregg is killing of his own emodelcars site by not allowing people to sell on this site. OOPs thats more then two or three words. LOL

I'm not saying a word.

I like it!

I already did a build like this about 5 years ago. I know what your going up against on the build and I'll wish you good luck with it.

You ask yet another good question, the floor pans part is still up in the air yet. I might take an try to make a floor pan piece(s) to see if I can do it. I really want to push the box on this project and see what I can do with brass. I agree with you about most kits and there rear leaf spring mounts. but I think with all the kit parts being on the trees I think they could also take alittle more time and add afew extra parts that could be glued onto the chassis like the rear cross members for the rear shocks. So far I am really starting to enjoy working with brass and soldier. You learn as you go along, we all develop our own ways of skills with the stuff. Talking about light coming through after plastic has been primed.. I tried using primer on the semi truck cab (in the truck area under Mack Superliner) that will have over 50+ LEDs on. Just one led light and the light came through the plastic with at least 3 coats of primer on. But then again with the charger project here with both sides the exterior and interior being covered, the light might not though. Then again I could have a lighted/glowing model LOL.

Hi, well you also ask a good question. While you are correct that the kit frame is very nicly done, there is places on it that is not so great and not well done. I will point them out so you all can understand what I am talking about and why I decided to go a brass frame rount. On the real chargers the rear frame does not go out like the kit ones does ( I own a real 2nd generation 1968 charger 1:1), the rear shock cross member in the kit is not correct, it's missing the sides where it attaches to the frame at, it' more like just hanging in place by the trunk floor pan in the kit frame. Now on the rear frame rails in front of the tires where the frame bends up, it's not straight up on the 1:1 charger either, there is afew bends in the real 1:1 charger rails. Plus one thing I have notice and sticks out to me is the rear leaf hangers, they look nothing like the rear ones as I mean the outer parts the arms bracing off the frame sides does look very very great and I like, it's just the outer part that holds the leafs an what they mount to that turn't me off on them, revell could have went alittle more on that area as well. So I'm kinda building the brass chassis like they did with the real cars. Plus my family member asked me to correct the shock cross member and rear leaf hanger arms. I thought like you did at first about the work being wasted but after alot of thinking, it's what seems like what alot of work wasted really is not but really worth the work in the long run.

Hi Joe, very good question you ask, the LEDs I use don't as I am aware of generate heat at all, But I'm guessing there is kinds that does? The only heat I am concern for is the heat that my hands get while soldering LOL. But no I'm not concern about the heat at this point yet but I will keep it in mind though.

Thanks you two! Working on the 2nd frame rail. There wis plans to have alot of brass work done on this one. Bill, I love your build thread as well man, I been monitoring it and following along on your project as well. Keep up the great work man. I hope to have an updated posted by tomorrow.

I'm not shure yet about this rocker, it was my 1st attemp. original kit frame the kit original piece that I cut out of junk frame I had on hand and then I corrected the frame rail to make a jig

Hi you all, well I been working here on this project as well as on my friend's semi truck one as well, things on that project has slowed down alittled. Anyways on this project I'm replacing the kit frame with a hand made brass one.I plan to do alot of brass work on this project. Here is one rocker panel piece

I use facebook anymore for my photo hosting.. I said heck with photobucket.

I love it!

That question, is what I am working on as a kit form for folks to convert this race kit into a street kit. I'm not just talking engine bay, but also interior pieces as well. along with rear frame replacement as well.

I love the work your putting into this project so far man. Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday bud! Now don't eat to much cake and get bellyache or work to much plastic and well you know. LOL

More from a month ago, just testing afew things out to see what issues I might have before I get really into the project. So far the light goes all the way through the plastic.. not good LOL. The LED itself Here is where I started the routing work for wires. I want them hid and also for the light to site flesh with the interior roof as well an the dom light base to fit over top of it. OOPs.. but no big deal, I can fix this easy. Will have some newer and more recent photos either tonight or in the next few days.

Okay these photos are afew months old, I have afew project going on right now like all us model car builders probably does LOL.

I'm sorry if I am posting this in the wrong spot, but I need advice. I got married about 10 months ago, and it seems to me that my wife doesn't want to help me out much and is rather dysfunctional, she rather chat with her friends online, or on the phone when I ask for help. Now since about Oct 2012 its gotten worst, she doesn't want to do very much round the house or spend time with me, all she wants to do is just sleep sleep and sleep. I can be talking to her and she just doses right off.. but yet she asks me why I don't spend time with her for. She gets mad when I tell her the truth about her ways. I know we have married men on this forum and I like to hear from those married people if they don't mind. I fill like my wife and my marriage is falling apart due to her.

Hi you all, I'm starting to work on this project for a family member that doesn't or not aware of it yet. I'm not really going box stock with it. It will have opening doors and trunk lid. I have already cutting the driver side door open. It will also have interior lights plus a dom light too that will work. So far the model will have a vinyl top, met blue for the body, and a either white interior or a golden color one. I will post photos soon.
