Dann Tier Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hey, everyone!, i got quite a bit done today!....now i can start detailing the chassis, and suspension! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Today i jumped right in on the fuel system!, after i SB the fuel pump, i can install it all. -Photo 1; Here are the kit supplied fuel tanks... -Photo 2; I needed to remove the two unrealistic "caps", so i used tape to protect the surrounding areas while i worked on them. -Photo 3-5; Since i was going for an updated, lightweight plastic look, i decided to ditch the tank straps, and SB a molded-in bracket look. After the glue dries, i will paint all the stuff i added here, as well as make bolts for everything. Its now time to SB a fuel pump!

935k3 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Your doing a great job. Allot of kits and builders omit the fuel tanks on mid-engine type cars. Yours look great. What gold are using for the suspension bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Chernosky Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Dan....this build caught my eye. And then I spent over an hour going through it. What incredible attention to detail. I don't think it matters what scale you build , you always seem to go the extra mile and your results are superb. A good friend of mine is tackling this very kit and I recently took these pictures of my build of the same from 20yrs ago to help him along. I will send him this link as well. . Hope you don't mind if I post them on this thread. Sure do wish this forum was around when I built this. I t was a great kit but I would have liked to take it to another level like you are doing.

Battery, horns and some brake and clutch resevoirs. Mine was motorized and lighted so much of this space was allocated for the battery box (which i removed). I am sure you can spruce up this area a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looks pretty good though!, i wont be lighting mine up. I gotta find a spare tyre for it from somewhere. There is a started one on ebay right now for $70, but i dont know if i'm even that crazy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan...I have this extra set of Lambo wheels (two sets actually) and this oddball 1/12 or 1/16 tire. If Lamborghini used one of those space saver tires they might have used a different wheel. Yours free if you want. $70 sounds kinda steep for just a spare tire, but if you do the engine as a side display that might be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
