Ridge Rider Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I messed up or lost enough pieces to build this a dozen times. This was giving my camera focus problems but I managed a few passable pics.  I will try to add the "plumbing" on final assembly.  The proportions are a little different and mine seems a little fuller but I think it represents the look pretty well and can live with it.  Thanks for the support everyone.  Steve  Edited July 13, 2017 by Ridge Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Charger Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Looks spot on to me great work keep it up Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Sometimes just finding all the gizmos to do small stuff like this steering wheel is a nice distraction from the complications of the larger project.Very cool piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Rider Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) I have much more respect for the artists that carve grains of rice and pencil lead. I just had to try the skull shifter and considering the size and my patience it will do. Â I also did the dash compass and a dry fit on the interior. Â I think the seats may be a bit to wide but I'm not doing them a third time, I hope. Happy Holidays and thanks for looking.

Ridge Rider Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the support guys, it does help to stay focused on this project.  So I moved on to the undercarriage. I cannot believe how much time it has taken me to get an idea on what is going on under there.  It definitely is not as well lit and documented as the other parts I have built.  I don't know what this would be called but it will house the tranny and connect the radius arms.  There will be some bracing done after the tranny and drive line are located.  In progress axles.  The rear is from the Lindberg monster truck and the front is a parts box semi axle.  The shapes are close, now to add detail. I sourced these very cool turbos and found a parts box Allison tranny.  I believe it is from a Kenworth Aerodyne. Thanks for looking.  Steve  Edited July 10, 2017 by Ridge Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Remember that if you don't know what the underside looks like...neither does anyone else.Just build it to suit yourself ,which obviously be very cool,and all will end as an amazing finished model of an amazing real car from an unlikely future.

bobthehobbyguy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Killer project.  Awesome scratch building. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Rider Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys.  I worked most of the weekend on the front axle while waiting for the rear one to cure.  That is the one downfall of using styrene as my putty/filler.  I still need shock and stabilizer mounts as well as brakes and canisters and also tie the steering knuckle to the rams,  but I just had to share.  I am very pleased with the outcome.  It took me about 18 hrs and 57 fabricated pieces to  produce this but I think it was worth it.  This is the best pic of what I was try to build. My  result Thanks again for looking and for your support.  Steve Edited July 10, 2017 by Ridge Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Sick. You're going above and beyond, putting all that effort into making the underbody details screen-accurate. I love the steering wheel and that tiny skull shifter. Witness this thread, brothers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
