Scale-Master

Thanks Ismael! Underhood insulation pad. Loosely dry fitted, I'll fasten it down smoothly after I paint the hood.

Me and You and a Dog Named Boo - Lobo

I spray painted the chassis a layered mix of brown, tan and fluorescent orange. Then I dry brushed silver to lessen the brown tones.

Rock the Kasbah - The Clash

Straight out-of-the-box; done in a little over a weeks’ time.

The Doors - Peace Frog

Thanks guys. Might even get it done today... The assembled nose piece ready to be installed to the body.

I painted the black trim on the body parts. Masked and sprayed the hood louvers and rocker panels, the rest of the black was done by freehand brushing with Tamiya acrylic. Still need to wax it, but I’ll wait until I get the decals on it.

Dash is installed and the interior is done.

Most of the interior is painted and assembled…

Brakes are finished…

Front suspension installed…

Engine installed along with the rear suspension…

You guys actually thought I installed the valve cover upside down by accident and even missed the engraved lettering? You might want to right click that photo and check out the title of it in the URL Bazinga. Rather poignant commentary there Monty... Engine ready to be dropped into the chassis

I agree Scott. FWIW, here is the cut and pasted response from my buddy who won that auction in response to Chris's request. Not my words, his: "I'll scan/post them the day Gregg Hutchings has nothing to do with the site or the magazine."

To be brutally honest, I doubt he would do that for this forum. You can thank the site and magazine owner for the way my friend views this forum now. I guess treating people badly even on a model car forum can have unforeseen repercussions.

And the "lucky" winner of that auction is a good friend of mine...

You worded it better than I could have Harry.

No it is not. Anyone else know?

The things you do for love. - 10cc Anyone know what 10cc refers to? (I do...)

Thanks Guys. Engine ready to be dropped into the chassis

I didn’t like the look of the chrome wheels for this one and I thought the Brass Monkey coloring for the wheels would work with the body color. I mixed an approximation from Rustoleum Bronze and Tamiya Fluorescent Orange.

Ramones! Blitzkrieg Bop.

Thanks! I assembled the front suspension much as the instructions indicated, but for the rear suspension I dry fitted these parts and only cemented them to each other so I could remove them from the chassis (used as a jig) for later installation. Using the chassis like that also helped make it easy to set up the front struts without measuring anything.

I can hear that one as AC/DC too, but can't place the title. Or is your avatar messing with me?
