    Looks like an old Boyd wheel or Dodge PU?

    My first try at making molding was for some side trim. I used a scriber and a straight edge to clean out the middle of some flat styrene. (pics 1-2) My second method is cutting a shape into the edge of a razor blade and scraping along the flat styrene. Guides are sometimes helpful and or needed.(pics 3-4)

    This is a current reissue of the black version that's been done several times.

    You are mentioned because you have set a high bar for quality and service!

    This arrived today, a bit worse for the wear. Came wrapped well in bubble wrap and only a plastic mailing bag. Kit seems unharmed. Also, engine was started, which wasn't stated or shown in pics.

    Finally made it out to the shop, I've been under the weather for a couple of weeks.

    If it's something you might do more of, I would consider buying styrene from the guy on eBay. It's more pliable to make bends with and it holds the shape. Here's some examples...

    Another addition to the racing portion of the stash...

    Some new paints to try.

    This came the other day, I have been waiting for a decent price on one.

    Made a pair of brackets for the blower/hose connection. My idea was to mount 1 lower for the bucket filter, and 1 higher if I end up venting to a window. They need to trimmed a bit yet, but you get the picture.

    I have some small tube lights from a unit I built before, or some type of LED.

    One step closer...

    Cut out the base skeleton (not shown after excess removed) .... silicone and clamped it in place, cut the exhaust hole, and made channels for the filter.

    Thanks, blessed with abilities in many areas. I've learned much from combining genres ...ie; woodworking, metal working, painting, etc. The metal is a little heavier than it needs to be, but it was free!! And to imagine, costing way less to make than many brand names.

    Yep... that's an inherited trait! LOL. Learned early on from my dad to do things right the first time, less problems later and a better product in the end.

    Today's advancement... back, top, and floor support.

    As in another thread, I mentioned I like using thin CA first. Then start sanding, and continue with primers as needed.

    18"x 24"x 18"high. This is the blower unit. It has a 6" inlet and a 4" outlet.

    Had this general plan for a long time, I have been slowly gathering materials to start. Oddly I have had the sheet metal for about 35 years! Who says saving things doesn't pay off?! Anyway, I started forming the sheet, first the base and today the sides. And yes, it will resemble a Pace brand.

    The Revell River Rat has one, not sure about depth of detail it has. I acquired the kit from a friend, with the intention of casting the motor, but of course haven't done so yet.

    I've found the best solution (for me), when using automotive brand or other solvent based putty, is to use an automotive primer first, even just Dupli Color. I've also started using Tamiya polyester putty. Two part, but plays nice with the plastic. Sands like other putties.
