64SS350

Brakes and rotors installed, steering started.

Didn't know they were used, untill in the cart. But it allowed me to put them in a cart??

What about the part that states....used?

Yes, I've used HLJ, and Plaza Japan. But this one has a kit that is normally expensive and relatively hard to find.

Found this site while doing a search. Put a few things in the cart to check shipping, and each item states....USED.. beside it's respective description. I saw a few that listed boxes as damage, even gave specific issues with kit parts. Curious if others have purchased here, have to make an account to see shipping. Thanks ,Karl

Well...too late. Didn't think about that. But left in the early evening sun for only about 1_1/2 hours....all good! Thanks for the reminder!

Whew.... rebuilt! All back together, repaired a few parts, reengineered some, and added drive shafts. Painted bottom of interior tub, and the brakes are close!

These came in on Monday....the Mercedes came from Canada and the 3d parts are from Portugal ( ordered just over a month ago). Three sets of tires, a widebody kit for the Tamiya Mustang GT, and Ford GT. Parts look nice, but second printer I've bought from that doesn't fully cure their parts. Out in the sun they go, or time to get a UV light.

So I never was satisfied with the original frame, it came together alot for the engine. This made the LS have an extreme angle back, I used the current headers to help, but not enough. I could make a custom set to exit straight out then back in under the frame, but... just opted not to this time. Sooo....instead I'm opting to customize the frame to accommodate... after all it is a 4wd. I tried spreading it first, but that wasn't enough.

Not much to update, I'm going between two builds, like many of us do. I have been experimenting on painting the black edge's of the windows. One more to go, then I'll post some pics.

I cut a thin strip of regular masking tape and painted it flat black. Tack one end on bottom pulley(I used super glue), weave belt around pulleys and tensioners, tack where necessary, tack and cut again on bottom pulley.

Got the exhaust finished (for the second time) and installed. I forgot that after bending the styrene(from eBay) it doesn't play well with Model Master Metalizer, breaks very easily after sprayed. Also started axels...

Picked up some great deals at show in Sharon Pa yesterday, plus some from the mail.

Nice color choices!

Nope

Thanks, I did finally find that. No response yet.

I start with a solid glue joint, then use the super thin CA to reinforce after glue sets. Fill with body glazing and sand, seal with the CA again...sand and primer until flush, more CA if necessary. Thicker CA can be used if larger gaps or holes need filled.

I believe the Revell kit to be more detailed, better chassis, opening trunk, etc.

At the time I started, there weren't many options, now several people are 3D printing the bodies. I ordered tubing for the axels today, and I need to get busy on casting the engine bay.

This may have been asked already, already searched for an answer, nut no luck. Is there a way to get ahold of him? Thanks

Frame is painted, springs added, motor installed. I used masking tape for the serpentine belt.

Gotcha... thanks!

Did you get to the centerline wheels, or am I missing them on your site?

Update... Chassis, interior, engine bay done( minus two decals). I wanted to trim the seats in red somehow, but what I tried didn't work out, so all gunmetal it is. If I do the custom version in my head on the next one, the interior will be more detailed.(This was after all a go between build..lol). Stole the wheels from the Zl1 kit, look way better for a stock look. Also made aluminum exhaust tips,. didn't care for the chrome ones, or refinishing them.
