Take your time and handle your other project, we will be here to see what you have up your sleeve when the time comes. -
finished the pumps, now to get it painted so I can install them, made an aluminum drive shaft, and added more bits to the front end. Almost finished on the wall!!!!

I agree with all the comments on this thread, I for one love to see something awesome built out of every day objects, kinda helps when it comes to kits hitting $30.00 a kit, I just love all the scratch-building going on here, and can not wait for more updates, more, more, more....
-
wow those are awesome finds will have to go to goodwill more often.....
-
got more carving done on the wall about three hours in....
-
I could not leave well enough alone, I added another hand holding a skull to the tow hitch... and my cylinders for the front hydros....
-
Thank you Dave! I am almost done carving it got a lot done today so soon that will be in primer for paint.
-

James I really love your weathered rides, some day I need to try this, your work is totally outstanding man! -
Haven't done much to the truck since the hydro plumbing, been working on a back drop for the warrior, I have a bunch of 3d sign foam and decided this truck needed a diorama, so this is the back of the diorama been carving the design in to the foam, more to come.

Don your right and on another model forum that i go to for my lowrider skills i have a link where a pro there has a video half way down the page that he actually shows you how its done, (click on the link and scroll down, he has a set of hydro pumps that he uses this technique on out of this world) it is so easy just engraving the aluminum tape then placing it on the part. check it out. http://www.layitlow.com/forums/30-model-cars/344102-loss-build-thread-9.html also go thru his build thread, I know a lot of guys are not into low riders but his fabricating skills are off the hook, I have learn't a lot from this guy.

actually that's a great idea, I took th my current build a 1950 ford f1 and think they just might work as air freshners! thats a great idea! thank you for bringing that up.
-
nice thanks for the tip
-
true true that stuff is expensive but it helps with the 40 percent off.................................
-
Thanks James and John, I can't wait to see it finished either..... I wish I had more time to devote to it I am at that point that I want to get it done and out of the way for the other builds I have planned and started............

that thing is on back burner for a while so busy with work right now that the aztec warrior only gets about 2 hours a week on it right now.

The revell ones are pretty good, I have always used these but they need all the plumbing done to them
