Twokidsnosleep Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) I made a little gas cap out of brass for the rear deck Got the nerve to drill the pin holes into the finished body and properly set up the windscreen positioning. Now it will sit on its own and I can adjust the base tighter. Chrome ‘granny bar’ for the passenger side out of solder and Molotow paint Edited August 23, 2020 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Headlight inserts and bezels next. Plastic back and the bezel is made from wire silver soldered into a circle. Have to figure something out for the clear glass Plastic circle insert on the right, metal bezel on the left This will all get sanded and refined then chrome painted Edited August 25, 2020 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Finished out the headlights. Really makes the car come alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Found some clear parts from digging around stash kits and the parts bin. Especially important are the front headlights from a Fujimi Slantnose Porsche that had perfect round clear headlights that were not to be used. Usual porsche headlights are kinda oblong They are perfect fit and I can retire the google eyes. Other clear parts are for the front signal lights, the taillights and an AC sticker I have used to reduce the image and will make the steering wheel center cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man thanks I exploded one of the Borrani wire wheels trying to tighten it up on the axle. I had the other three all placed and done, this was the last one. I had to dissect out wheels from a gaudy set of Fujimi wheels and make do. Sand down the deep dish to similar dimension to my other three and rearrange the spokes inside. I am missing one layer of wire in the pattern, but it is the best I can do with out replacing everything. Finished one compared to the original donor wheel Edited September 7, 2020 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 That's a shame. Those wire wheels can be fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like figuring out new things, that is what these kinds builds are for. Still need to find a better wood, will look in my fruit tree supply for some cherry. No, it’s a hobby, it’s all about wasting time! Beats the heck out of watching TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
