GerN Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 This was supposed to be a quick and easy build, just some hacking and gluing to a cheap built-up. I can't believe how slow I am. This isn't quite finished, but it may never get any better, so here it is. It is supposed to represent a stripped-down rod intended for fun on the dunes. I didn't have the 1:1 photo (sitting outside a parts junkyard) until after I'd already cut up the body, or I would have been tempted to copy that car, in spite of the additional work. The built-up was missing some parts (shocks, hoses, tie rod, steering linkage, etc.) but I only plan to add the highly visible hoses in the interest of a quick build. I am curious to see how many viewers applaud the originality and how many deplore the desecration. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerN Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just remembered: The tail lights are cast from white CR-300 (as are the tires, wheels and radiator), coated with a Molotov chrome pen and then detailed with clear red paint. BTW, I brush-painted almost everything (except the chassis and interior, sprayed flat black by the original builder). There are a few things I would now do differently, including: raise the body-stiffening bar behind the headrests to also serve as a roll bar; fill the mufflers before gluing them in.
