same here im molding a steering wheel

thanks i owe this one to Iggy Pop

how its going so far, its testors metalizers,tamiya earth and testors rust

itll be done in a few days im putting no effort into it i wanna try the hairspray trick

traded a built kit for these the stutz was thrown in to sweeten the deal i plan on repainting the SSJ in the future to a less blah color the stutz needed too much TLC and found itself on the business end of the hobby saw

the conditions of a trade landed me with a stutz blackhawk the car needed too much TLC so i figure im gonna some fun with it i nixed the fenders since the pictures were shot

squish mold is the best method http://www.alumilite.com/howtos/SquishMold.cfm

its just me but i like muscle cars with beefy tires

hard to believe it drove the way it did it was a smooth ride and very well built cant say the same for the camaro and the honda accord that i also test drove. couldnt see anything driving the camaro the interior looked cheap but for a v6 it had some go and the accord didnt have the right feel to it and for a car that cost more than a camaro the interior was definetly lacking. my truck is a 02 its only stranded me twice since the 3 years i owned it im still gonna shop around theres not that many 2 door cars in the market so itll be a quick one friday im going to ford and next week for the heck of it try a Mini

all hell broke loose today once it was off the jackstands . drivers side door handle broke, hood latch wouldnt release, and now the truck wanders at slow speed for some reason. had to go to a chevy dealer and 3 different parts stores to find hardware and parts i spent close to 370 wasnt bad putting it together but it was aggravating when it came to finding parts. on a good note i did find a dealer that has a turbo 4 banger 6 speed in stock going there first thing in the morning to test drive it and see whats up.

i love the interior and body color but what up with the tires they kinda tiny IMO

all that but the trans has happened, i decided to start shopping around for a import im thinking the 4 cylinder turbo Genesis Coupe or a new Focus

aside from the rocker rust issue. the brakes felt funny cause it kept pulling to the left when i pulled the assembly off i was greeted by this little gem one bolt was holding the caliper bracket assembly the other had rusted so bad it broke at the head then it took a hour of hammer bashing to get the passenger side rotor to come off the axle. this was pretty much how i spent the 4th i have to wait till tomorrow til i get the new caliper bracket.

pressure pot, i changed the mold up and went for a squish type

so the center behind the steering wheel is a good start im pouring the mold tomorrow

finally molded and casted a tamiya tire without issues, i also cast the billed wheel in coin(wheel face only). the tire is the Nissan R34 Bridgestone Potenza 17" tire i plan on molding the new GTR's tire too. once i get some money ill get some soft resin to make real tires.

i have no clue what im doing can anyone help lol this is where im at and i think its wrong its gonna be a 2 piece with the fill point being the center behind the wheel

probably one of the Grabber hues

did some more work finally set the stance you cant tell by looking at them above but the wheels are offset

siim is using the last one its 2 #11 blades pitched inwards with a piece of styrene works great for a lot of stuff ive only used mine once

thanks for the idea im not a fan of them highrider tires

tape 2 razor blades together the more you pitch them inwards the thinner you can make it

i was wondering how people did that thanks for the demonstration
