I think I have been to that one not a big supply of models If I remember Tk (null)

Any good model shops in the area (null)

What did you use to make the wood grain. Looks pretty cool by the way. Two thumbs up Tim (null)

This is what I have been looking for thanks I will be sure to check out the build site. I am building a L700 Coe that will be chopped and with the rt/10 viper engine. I have started a thread here you can look up if you want (null)

Deja-view do you have any more pictures of the viper you did (null)

I have yet to see a dodge viper. I was hoping to do some research. But I must say that's pretty awesome work. Quite a few could be in the real or model thread. Tk (null)

Okay here is an update I did the chop now I am working on putting it back together again. First I made a mask around the cab to show me where I was cutting and scribbed it with the razor knife Here is the after picture I think the cutting turned out well I chopped it high enough that I can smooth out the detail in the back pillers so it runs up into the top I then took the top section and quartered it I am now working on spreading it out so it lines up with the bottom section. Does anybody have some tips on making this part easy. Thanks for looking Tim Kracht

Do you have any names of mags and are they related to model. Thanks Tim (null)

Thanks for the info guys. I think I am going to cut the roof into four pieces widen and extend it then drop it down. I need to figure out how many scale inches. He is also an updated picture I have put the springs on with poster putty to get an idea of how it looks. These are also the wheels I am going to use. But what I am trying to figure out is how to drop the Frame down do I still use the springs or just glue the axle to the Framewith some type of bracket (null) Frame picture (null)

Has anybody ever detailed the rt/10. I have been trying to run down information about the spark plug wires. Any pictures or documentation would be appreciated thanks Tim kracht (null)

Where would a guy find these jada cars. Tim kracht

I have not been back in to modeling long but I attempted to wire up the engine for this IH. Sorry for some reason the pictures want to come in upsidedown. Tim kracht

Have not had a lot of time to work on this one but I was able to put the frame together. (null)

I think we are both on the same page I will need to cut the roof in to four pieces and widen it and lengthen it. (null)

That was my thought as well, would make it look more natural. My thought would be to cut it horizontally through the back window. To take out the drop material. I don't know if it's been done before, but thought about cutting out the upper window section and keep it intact then just lowering it in place and filling in the gaps with sheet plastic. That way the window could be the cornerstone of the whole thing. Let me know if that makes sense. Tim (null)

I was looking to get some thoughts on chopping the top on this Coe. I have had some suggestions from a friend to cut the roof flush with the top of the posts. Then cut them down and bend them in. My thought was just to take some out of the middle section and lower it. Thanks Tim kracht (null)

Okay to review here is what is happening. I am putting the motor from this model Into this one Here is what I have of the Motor so far I am also looking for tips on chopping the top on this cab Thanks Again Tim Kracht

Okay bringing this one backup. I have started the dodge viper engine and I am working on the frame for the Coe. I will be trying to post some pictures of the cab to get some ideas on how to chop the top. That's all for now (null)

Now I just need to find time to do it working on the ford dump truck and the ih transtar at the moment but I will keep this thread updated when I start it

Mr cheap can you explain that one to me

I thought about chopping the top and lowering it a bit do you guys think that would look dumb thanks for the input

Would it be proper to put a dodge viper engine into a dodge l700 Coe

October 22-22 or there abouts in Chicago

I will see what I can do about being the reporter on the street just need to figure out how to post pictures

A couple questions who is going to the Ihobby expo this year and what booths should I be sure to stop at
