This is the Polar Lights kit of Gene Snow's Rambunctious funny car.
No real problems, so far. Apart from the fittings and braided hose getting lost in the post.
I'm going to try and plumb as much as I can on the engine. I'll add a throttle linkage, too.
This is what I've done so far....
Fuel lines and other details will be added (once they finally arrive..)
Here's the cockpit, which is more or less done. I added a chute release, although I had to use some imagination for it's position as there is very little info on Google images about its' exact placement.
I used candy red over metallic gold for the body, chassis and roll cage
I added a battery tray, even though I didn't really know if it had one.
As the engine has a starter motor, I figured it would need some juice. I have since discovered that it might've not had a battery, but used an auxiliary power supply, connected to terminals on the chassis.
To be perfectly honest, this will never be entered into a competition, so it's more of an exercise in testing my abilities and trying new things. I'll add PE bolt heads and anything else that I can think of.
I'll post more pics as soon as I make more progress
Thanks for looking
