Can't wait to see this in paint.

I'll see if I can get more done on my Corvette today. I really need to get back to working on it.

I tried the bulk loader but it just stayed on the loading screen forever. But it's all worked out now and I can upload quickly.

This is gonna be sweet. Good job so far.

Wow, that looks great! This is a car I've been wanting to build for a while. Is it Tamiya, or something else?

This is the part that felt a little condescending. Like I didn't know what I was talking about.

In my first post I told him you could divide by 25 to find the scale. Then in your post you act like I told him the wrong thing. I was just trying to clarify what I first posted so it didn't seem like I told him wrong. I said decimals can get annoying because I've been there and sometimes all the decimals can get rather unnerving. I usually use the millimeter trick because it is much easier and you don't need a calculator. The wording in your post made it seem like you misunderstood what I had originally posted because you mentioned millimeters several times. You act like what I originally posted was wrong and like you were correcting me even though I said the same things you did. I'm sure the OP understood what I was saying.

Um... I think that's exactly what I told him. The whole "millimeter" thing in my post was to be able to use a ruler to measure parts rather than use math. If you want something to be, say 25" long in 1/25 scale, then you could divide by 25. But when you start getting into decimals it can get annoying. Or you could simply measure out 25 mm on a ruler, and you got you're 25 scale inches. No need to go all crazy with the math. The millimeter thing comes from the fact that 1 inch== roughly 25 mm.

Thanks Josh

Wow, this is looking great! I'm gonna have to steal some of your tricks when I finally make my dad's work van.

Nice job, I like how this is coming together.

It depends how good you are at masking I guess. I do mostly brush painting on my interiors because it gives a little texture and is much easier. Especially since I use rattle cans and don't have an airbrush.

It might be easier to paint the whole thing flat black then mask off the outside and paint the inside. If your coats are thin enough,you shouldn't lose any detail. That's how I would do it, but there may be other ways.

The thread was talking about how "American" cars are made in other countries, Canada included. Nobody called cars made in Canada inferior. Wow...

Thanks for the compliments John.

Nice job, looks awesome.

Thanks, but it is finished. The Under Glass thread has better pictures.

I think he wants the actual speakers themselves, not the covers. Like this:

If you are measuring in inches, you want to divide by 25 to find the scale size. Or you can convert to scale by using mm. 1 inch in 1/1 scale = 1 mm in 1/25 scale. So if your speaker box is 24 inches tall, you would make it 24 mm tall. A 1/25 scale 10 inch subwoofer would be 10 mm. Hope that makes sense. I don't know how to make the speakers, I'm still trying to figure that out myself.

Do this, it works great and is fool proof.

Looks like the supercharged LS7 from the Corvette ZR1. I plan on casting parts once I get some money, so I'm gonna be watching this. Good job so far.

I guess I'll have to look in the morning, I never noticed. Good luck on the swap.

Seems similar to the dangerous Corvair suspension, if I'm not mistaken. Not a very good design. And I'm pretty sure my mom's '94 F150 has a solid axle, which is why I thought this truck would be the same.

Sorry, I thought it was solid front axle, never heard of the TTB setup, I'm more of a Chevy guy anyways. What years did they use the TTB setup?

What I would do is put spacers between the leaf springs and the frame. It's easy, just use sprue pieces if you don't have anything else.
