Hello…….thanks guys for the kind comments……..I finished up the rear brake lines and the emergency brake cable………I also started on the engine……..I still need to add a few parts to the engine……..I added some detail to the engine but,you probably won't be able to see much of the engine once it`s installed………I will finish up the engine tomorrow……..thanks for looking.

Hello…….I painted and assembled the front and rear suspension……..I still need to add the brake lines and steering assembly,and I will add some airbrush weathering to the chassis…….like I said ……it`s not perfect but,good enough for the girls I go with…….thanks for looking.

MMMMMMM………sounds tasty

Hi Mike……..thank you for the question……..I bought a prism paper bag at the 99 cent store………I soaked it in warm water to take of the paper backing…….so that it was a little thiner……then I printed the outline of the block lettering onto the prism paper using a laser ink printer…….then I cut each letter out and sprayed the back of each letter with 3m adhiesive glue ……then I placed each letter on the painted body panel one at a time…….then I clear coated over the prism letters…….then I sanded the clear coat with 2000 grit sand paper and gave it another clear coat…….I did this 3 more times before I got the prism letters to look the way I wanted them…….thanks

Hi Rob……….Both…….I found a picture on the web of a "Blue Wonder" die cast……..it shows the bottom of the chassis…….like I always say……..it won`t be perfect…….but,good enough for the girls I go with ……..thanks

few more progress photos…….thanks.

Hello…….I started a mock-up on the rear end …….I modified the axle…….I made an exhaust pipe and rear splash pan…….I will also make some shocks and coils…….I also did some work on the rear end of the body……I modified a bumper to fit and modified some tail lights to resemble the 1:1 taillights……..I also made a gas filler…….I will work on the front end tomorrow……thanks for looking.

Hi Greg…….yes, it doe`s feel good to be back at the bench…….your casting is Awesome……yes, I am going to put a engine in it……..I have quite a few reference pictures…….even a couple from a die cast model……..that shows the undercarriage……..hopefully I can somewhat make it believable ……..but,without to many reference pictures……I will have to do my best…….it won`t be perfect…….but,I think it will come out ok?……..thanks again for this wonderful casting
