Mooneyzs replied to Mooneyzs's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Thank you Joe... this has been a bit of a headache but I think it has been worth it...lol. I can't tell you how many times I would sand a part and then test fit....sand and test fit... sand and test fit....haha but its getting closer to being done. I still have a ways to go but its getting much closer. Can't wait to have this tin work finished. -

Here was a test fit with the Body on the chassis: The Dash: Here are shots of the body on with the side pieces laid on place. I still have to glue the side pieces in but I need to make a small change to the rear of this tin work to get the mounting where I want it to go: Opposite side: -

Hello All... a little afternoon update for ya .... I started the Fire Wall section of the Body Tin work and I had scribbed a line in the panel so I could bend it at a certain angle: I then got the Fire Wall tacked into place with the Dash: View from another angle: I then threw the side pieces on to get a better idea of how things would look: Here is a side view to show the angle at which I made the fire wall: -

James... Thank you! Mark.... Thanks bud... Well I will be honest I have been wanting to paint the chassis so bad but wanted to get this tin work done before hand because of how many times I am test fitting parts lol. This tin work has been a little challenge but will be worth it when it's finished I think. I should have some more progress up later -

Scott... Thank you my friend Tom.... Thank you Erroll... Thank you for the kind words and saying that this could be GSL worthy Well Fellas.... I had gotten a little more work done last night but was too tired to post pics. So here is an early morning update for everyone on the tin work I started on the side pieces of the tin work cutting material from some templates that I made: Once Done with both sides I had to set on the chassis: And well of course I had to mock it up with the body to check the fit: Next up was fabricating the firewall portion of the tin work; Next was to somewhat mock up the pieces to see how it all looked. I still have to sand the firewall portion to get it to fit inside of the body a little better: -
This is one beautiful build. I am really impressed by your skills and checked out a few pic on your FB.... Very nice work!

Hello All.... I wanted to share the beginning stages of the body tin work I am doing for this build. So far I think it is coming along pretty good, it's a little tricky but trying to run it thru my mind how I will do it and I decided to first start with some sort of frame structure around the chassis that I will work from. Anyway here is the progress.... Here I have started with some angle styrene to build the structure that will go around the chassis: Next I placed the parts on the chassis to see how it was looking: I then glued the side pieces to the "U" Shaped piece that sits on the Mid Plate, Then I decided for fabrication purposes to add the two pieces of styrene on top to hold things together for support: Here it is mocked up on the chassis: Next I am planing on trying to figure out how I will tie the dash down to the "U" Shape piece as well as the side pieces and the rear. I will be getting more done on this tonight. So stay tuned and hoping to have more to show in a little while... -
That's cool... I want to go to then next GSL for sure. Hopefully I will have a bunch other builds done for it. I have 2 years rigth ....lol
