  1. Mike good point! one has to "feel" when to stop weathering.....cross the line and you lost it...Have never seen John cross it, when you see his stuff in person its "spot on"
  2. added a gas pedal.. starting to put it all together..
  3. added a battery used some decals from my scrap decals. These are from the NASCAR Hudson kit. the completed seat installed with belts.
  4. Thanks.....Well decided to make my own headers, used electric,copper wire, just bend and fit. alum. tubing for the dumps, polished them up for kicks, to bad I going to paint them made by own seat, but didnt reall like it so I made another one. masking tape and buckles made from sheet plastic. painted it light yellow. its going to lightly weathered with mud. the tank was taked from the 58 chevy low ride kit, it was the batteries that went in the trunk. just sanded off all the battery stuff
  5. sanded the slicks Im using fro the rear. used the hobby knife to groove them not the best photo, but I used a razor say to cut in treads painted spmw water base mud on them wiped it off and we have muddy tires
  6. Added the side bars, and another test fit. you can see the rough body sides. painted chassis and a little primer on body
  7. Working the chassis. decided to use coils in the rear and leaf in the front. test fit the body. over the frame added strips that are welded on the body and doors to keep them closed used the moto tool to rough up the body to give it the "been hammered back out" look. after this step I sand the body to smooth up the griding marks. It will show up when the color coat is applied Worked on the roll bars] added the nerf bars fore and aft.
  8. I can see this one coming down the front stright with the right front off the ground. Looking so good
  9. going to build a 32 4 window dirt Modified, using the Revell kit. here is the starting point wacked out the top insert, and added the litle strip that hold the insert to the body next I added the interior body bracing as it cmae from the factory. Stay tuned for more!
  10. he built a jet engine drag boat, and when I saw it in person, the engine looked like one would burn there hand if one was to touch it...
  11. Jeff, 415 posts the kid has......How would one know he was only 12........Knowing that I'll give him all the help and advice I can...
  12. I had no idea of the lads age, so my apologies. I will give some advice, now knowing that. Glue the engine block together, and sand the seam, nice and smooth before painting. Also clean the excess plastic, from the parts before painting/gluing. Gives a cleaner look. Your on the right track.
  13. I like the car your wanting to build, just confused about the starter and the air cleaner. dont konw much about the game, "Need For Speed" and that might be my problem. Carry on....thought it might be tied to an April fools thing..... S0rry
