o-man Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 You must have gotten the "race" wheels instead of the "street" wheels. There are two versions. Keep up the good work
chunkypeanutbutter Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I've just been distracted, and waiting to go to the LHS for some tubing to adapt the wheels to the spindles. Hopefully, I'll be able to do that today while I'm sending a package out to Clayton. Edited April 20, 2015 by chunkypeanutbutter
chunkypeanutbutter Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 So, for all you who may be wondering: I remember I have this going. All it really needs is to have stuff mounted up and to make the drop spindles. Mount - Windshield/ glass - Seats - Rear lights - Front suspension with drop spindles - Lights and blinkers - Rest of engine components However, this has taken a back-burner spot due to a few other projects I've willed to myself to finish. Once I finish those, I'll finish this. For now, I'll lock the topic. Happy modelling, and I hope to be back updating this soon!
chunkypeanutbutter Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Alright, party people. I'm going to be back updating this one. Plans for the rear wheels are to deep-dish 'em to give a leveled effect versus the front wheels. I'll still have to scrounge around for the tubing to attach them to the spindles. However, the paint will get another clearcoat as it's quite orange-y. Afterwards, the headliner will get put in, along with the glass, and I'll make interior junk. If I can find a good carb, I'll put it on there. Anyways, good to be back. Suggestions welcomed as I know a few people were following this with aplomb. One thing I'd like an opinion on: tinted blinkers/taillights? Edited May 20, 2015 by chunkypeanutbutter
Chromecop Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Thought I'd ask you guys a question: has anybody here ever made eyebrows for their Bug models? I like the way they look, and think I might make some. Also, anybody who could help me with a set of front spindles, send me a PM. Planning on doing a spindle drop, and don't want to do it with my only set. I've done that! I used artificial nails (women-stuff LOL!!!) The smallest ones had the exact shape. I just had to cut them down a litle to achieve the correct look! http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t274/chromecop/VW%20challenge%202009/112.jpg Edited May 20, 2015 by Chromecop

chunkypeanutbutter Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 I increased the generator size tonight to more represent a 12v system. Also made a carb with a big stack on it and an MSD ignition box which has gone missing. /'.'\
jacoballardtattoo Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 If you find the MSD set up please post some pics.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Sorry, guys; been working. I was unable to find the MSD box, so I'll have to make another. I made it out of some stripstock and a finned valve cover piece. Guess I'll have to make another....
