Scale-Master Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 The bracket to mount the fire extinguisher to the floor. I guess I could have just glued it in place… well, no I couldn't do that… Sheet brass cut and shaped. The strap is vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 I made brackets for the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 The hard coolant lines from the radiator to the side pods are reworked parts from the kit, the left side being relocated to the top of the modified radiator and bent up much more than the right. The silicone connector hoses are made of brass. The hose clamps are tin and I machined the worm drives from aluminum. Dry fitted together.

Scale-Master Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 The finished radiator. The stone guard screen is 0.002 thick PE. The "plastic" fasteners for it are machined aluminum as are the mounting bosses. The petcock is aluminum and steel, machined and made of 3 pieces.

Big John Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 A Masters Class on how to make the humble fire extinguisher. Just got here, must go back and see the rest. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 The transmission cooler is made from the kit parts but they were modified. Same for the brackets. The mounting hardware was machined from aluminum. Line fittings will be added later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 The spokes of the steering wheel were done with a black base and transparent blue mixed with smoke and clear to get the shade of anodized aluminum I wanted. (They are the only part that's not aluminum.) I made the little fasteners out of a steel pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyK Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) There is no way that this is a model car. I think that you are building a 1:1 car from scratch. Can I drive it when you are finished? Edited October 29, 2021 by JohnnyK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
