Gumball Posted September 10, 2019 Author Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Im considering making a supercharger (sorta like a belt driven turbo) for the engine here, got the parts to do it but im not totally sure i want to do it Edited September 10, 2019 by Gumball
Gumball Posted September 27, 2019 Author Posted September 27, 2019 Slow progress, decided agenst the supercharger idea.
Gumball Posted September 29, 2019 Author Posted September 29, 2019 It's just currently sitting together right now. I'm thinking of lowering it a little more and giving it a little more of a rake.
Gumball Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 Iv been thinking of something new and interesting to do for this kit, and I think I found it. Somewhere in the "tips and tricks" I found a post where someone used tube aluminum and wrapped solder around it to make a turbo. So that's what I eventually did. I also drilled a hole into the fender for a neat exit for the exhaust.
Gumball Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 For some reason I can only upload one photo at a time, sorry for the cluster of posts.
Gumball Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 Needs still a hell of alot of sanding, but at least it's coming along.
Gumball Posted January 26, 2020 Author Posted January 26, 2020 Although the majority being completely different from my original intentions, the truck is coming along fairly well.
Belugawrx Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Those flares are starting to look the part Johnny ! The roll bars look a little large, to my untrained eye. how did you accomplish the GOODYEAR stencil on the tires ? Looking good
Gumball Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Funny enough the Goodyear came that way from the box, although I could lie to you and say that I trained on some mountain top to hand paint Goodyear on the tires.
Gumball Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 I got a bunch of styreene and nowhere to use it so Im building a trailer to go along with the truck
Gumball Posted March 24, 2020 Author Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I just couldn't resist the BRE datsun colours, just need to find myself some racing numbers and sponser decals to put on the side of this. Not bad for a rattle can paint job though I could have done it a little bit better. Edited March 24, 2020 by Gumball
Belugawrx Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Always loved the BRE colours..nice trailer too keep it going
Gumball Posted March 25, 2020 Author Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) The pictures don't do much justice to how good the clearcoat turned out, but hopefully when it drys I can take a better photo with the bed and cab together Edited March 25, 2020 by Gumball
Gumball Posted March 27, 2020 Author Posted March 27, 2020 The datsun is complete, now just to finish the trailer. Im just waiting on a few things for the trailer first. But when the trailer is finally done I will be putting this truck and trailer under glassunder glass!
Gumball Posted March 29, 2020 Author Posted March 29, 2020 The trailer is almost done. for some reason the wheels don't want to stay glues on. otherwise the truck itself is done, I would like to upload them together under glass anyways.
Gumball Posted April 10, 2020 Author Posted April 10, 2020 So its officially finished! here is the link to the under glass,
