Thanks alot fellas I appreciate the kind words...
Mitch... thanks buddy.. glad you like it... your Willys is looking good...I you go back a few pages I explained how I made the headers..
Rob... thanks alot bro... hopefully we'll see alot more of these type builds being built...
Brian I get my detail wire is from detail master... fogger lines are some small wire that I get from work....
Well I got my photo etched lenko shifter from Scott done and installed tonight...
Thank you Oscar and Bob... I really appreciate it... I got a few more shades of metalizer paint on the headers, and I go another coat of primer on this one too...
Fred you are doing a bang up job on this build buddy... I love it... I have picked up a couple of these drag versions too,,, going to do an outlaw 10.5 and maybe another one similar to this... the color is banging on this one... where did you get the paint....
Thanks alot fellas... I will sell some of my builds from time to time.. When I saw r/m was re-issuing their 67 camaro.. I put this on ebay.. I have already picked up 2 of the r/m kits from my lhs.. to build another outlaw style, and not sure on the other one yet.. maybe a drag radial or 29 inch slick type car.. I've been wanting to get an air compressor and a good airbrush.. and also some more wheels from Jim @ Micro Nitro... so the money from the auction will be put to good use... thanks again fellas means alot.. and if anything else goes up for auction.. I'll let you know...
Hey fellas... I blew the dust off this one and pulled it back out..lol... I was never satisfied with the paint on this one.. One of the doors got messed up when I was painting it, and when I repainted them I could never get the paint to match.. so I stuck the body in the purple pond to strip and redo.. I'm going to be making a few improvements also along the way... I decided not to go with the side body moldings, so i cut some thin sheets of stryene to fill them in... I think I'm gonna add some wheels from Micro Nitro to this one and I may make a set of fender exit headers too.. we'll see.. progress will be slow on this one.. just started fooling around with it last night.. thanks for looking and comments welcome...
Alright fellas... I've got the headers all finished up.. I added some weld beads from archer decals, painted them gloss black and then hit them with some chrome...
then I hit them with different shades of metalizer paints...
Niko.. I have come up with a way of doing my headers now that works pretty good.. I drill holes in the heads for exhaust ports ....
then I make my lower tubes first.. I mark in side the inner fenders where I want them to come out. and tack them together with super glue..
then I make the two top tubes....
I then trim the tubes down and add the collectors...
drilling the holes has worked well for me Niko... hope this helps...
Thanks alot fellas,,,, Fred I'm still not sure on a color yet...lol... I've made some progress on this one... I've got most of the electronics for the inside of the car done and started installing them... I also got the overhead box wired in...
