Helix Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Nice cage work Meesh, just bolt the drive train to it, and yer done Is it just me, or is it really quiet at the cannonball, this year...? A thing called 'Life' Bruce, I'm going through a modellers block at the moment, just couldn't be bothered. On the plus side as stated before, I've finished my entry....maybe when the desire to build kicks back in, I'll build another entry I'm doing the B.R.B.O as well, which I need to find the motivation to make some headway
Misha Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Nice cage work Meesh, just bolt the drive train to it, and yer done Is it just me, or is it really quiet at the cannonball, this year...? Getting close! Thank to all for your comments, it certainly helps to keep on truckin'.
CFMgarage Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Nice cage work Meesh, just bolt the drive train to it, and yer done Is it just me, or is it really quiet at the cannonball, this year...? Bruce I'm definitely one of the quiet ones. My charger is in the background since I'm focused on two builds that mean a lot to me...and I'm trying my hand at molding/casting some stuff.
CFMgarage Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Getting close! Thank to all for your comments, it certainly helps to keep on truckin'. Misha that looks badass. I think I'm gonna start the cage work in the charger soon. I'm still contemplating my engine choices. I can go anywhere from 440 v8, single turbo supra 2jz, all the way to 1.7 liter IMSA turbo 4-cyl or even mazda rotary...
MeatMan Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Nice cage work Meesh, just bolt the drive train to it, and yer done Is it just me, or is it really quiet at the cannonball, this year...? I ran into a problem with the plumbing for my turbos and thus don't have anything to show but frustration!! Dang shock towers.
lysleder Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Between single parenting and extended work schedule, the modeling bench hasn't seen much action. It is a good thing the deadline is far in the future. My projects always take a long time anyway. I have started though. I have started roughing out what will become a backseat large-capacity fueltank. I have also set the ride height, and dialed in wheel placement up front. Here is a better view of the temporary bracing put in to keep the wheel in place while I'm building the suspension. Be patient and bear with me. This is going to take time.
TFchronos Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Nice work Misha and Larsen. Edited March 14, 2016 by TFchronos
bill_67 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Great work guys, nice to see some of the builds moving forward. My build has stalled out as I'm just not happy with the wheels and tires stance. I'm thinking of changing my kit yet staying with the same idea.
oldcarfan Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 How have I missed this all these years? This is cool.
Jhedir6 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Nice work everyone. Small update for me, haven't been working much on the Raptor but the parts I wanted are in, so time to scratch up the rest or modify what I have. Modified the hood for what's underneath and thinking about adding some extra lighting. And starting to make room under the hood. Jeremy from Clearly Scale says that this monstercharged 351 DOHC will put out 800ish horses, should be enough to keep this beast ahead of the Auzzie cops. Looking forward to more updates from you guys. David
Misha Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 K5 Blazer - Entry #18 Chassis UpdateG'Day Mates,Been busy with family visits to AZ from north of the 49th, so haven't had that much time at the bench. Have worked on the chassis and it's nearly ready for primer! Added on the front mount for the Roo Bar and winch to attach to and have fabricated the connecting mounts for the roll bar cage. It's not to regulation just to bolt the cage to the sheet metal floor, it has to tie into the frame so that the entire structure is one piece. Also switched the steering gear around to the starboard side to match the RHD interior. Going to mount the pedals and brake m/c plus booster from the 67 Camaro kit to line up with the steering and dash. Made a pattern from card for the skid plate in front then fabricated in plastic along with attachment points on the chassis. Used half round strips to add strengthening to the plate. Ready now for any kangaroo or ditch excursions in the Outback.Washing the body parts in preparation for the first primer coats and then shooting TS-34 Camel Yellow for the body with a tan top. Next on the build list is the roof rack that will be connected to the roll cage. The frame and cage will be finished in TS-38 Gun Metal. All paints are Tamiya rattle cans, as the air brush rig is back on Vancouver Island. Only a few weeks before flying home, will catch the Desert Scale Classic here in Phoenix on April 9th.Cheers for now, MishaWhoops! Can't upload the pics as even one exceeds my 9.16MB, not sure what to do, as I don't use any other program for photos.
Misha Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Going to give it another shot for downloading. Signed up for Fotki... Let's see what happens! It's more complicated than I thought... Have to,do,some research, sorry!Misha
Misha Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Okie dokie, went back and trashed some of my earlier photos, see if that helps... Not sure what effect that has on my previous posts.
Pat Minarick Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) I started over on the chassis , so maybe I can get this thing finished soon. Edited March 27, 2016 by Pat Minarick
Pim Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 done some work on the fox body attached bar,lights and started some decal work also made some springs
Belugawrx Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Great stuff guys,..Mine is calling to me from the middle drawer,...need to get back at it
MeatMan Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Mean looking Camaro Pat!!Nice progress on the SVO Brayden.
CFMgarage Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Nice progress guys. My charger is just hanging out, all in pieces, as I've restarted my suspension build.I have collected all my parts, to try and build a fully working suspension that can do travel/rebound/flex...I may scratch the idea but I have it patterned together in my head, just hope I can engineer it from styrene and brass.I also have been practicing roll cage building on my other projects, so I can confidently get into it now. Will get back to this car soon.
JTalmage Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I still haven't worked on my Bronco... but man some good work going on here.
Belugawrx Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Got a bit more done on my entry,.."the Perth Perch" Rear suspension underway,... Got the dash changed over Lot's left to do,..good thing we have 9 months left Cheers Ausie Ballers
Misha Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Neat work Bruce, that rear suspension is very intriguing! It's great to see how the competition is heating up, great ideas out there and a rich variety of builds.now to get back to the workbench.Cheers Mates, Misha
