Reeves Racing Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 I have been debating on the rear slicks and this last set up pictures has made my decision. The ones on the model are too big. So I will be taking them off and trying to find something that looks closer to what was on the car.
afx Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I agree I think the slicks are a bit too large. You did a good job blending in the roof.
doggie427 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Very well done conversion. Great replica!
mk11 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 ...I wish some of my detail work was a little cleaner... The important thing is that you're happy with it. You were going for a 'look' and I'd say you nailed it pretty well- and gave us some great inspiration on the way mike
Reeves Racing Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks Wayne, I am happy with it Mike. Thanks for the props. I think these tires look much better JC I found some others the tire box that were almost the same size and sanded them down a little, about 3/32nds. I also lowered the back of the car a little bit by adjusting the spring mounts up into the trunk area a little. I think it looks much better. I just need to weather the tire decals and put some dull coat on the tires. My PE carb stuff came yesterday and I have the carb mounted up and the throttle cable installed.I am going to put some small nuts on the fuel lines where they attach to the carb fuel bowls to make that look a little better. I had to buy another 64 Thunderbolt on eBay so I can get a windshield. So that just about all that's left.
afx Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Yep those rear tires look better. The others caused to much rake IMHO.
