Jo-Han Mercury Comet Twin Engine

Another fitment update, almost no room between the engine and radiator, which is perfect.

Finished up the styrene rollcage, dash, and other little things

looking good there, love the green paint, have you looked at ball point pens caps for air scoops ? cut them sand them in any shape, also have you thought of using masking tape for your blower belts ? fold them over as many times to get the thickness you want then use a black  sharpie to color it then tape it on the bottom then loop it over then glue it . keep up the good work and remember,  We're all in this together.

Hay thanks! I love the ideas! I'm going to use the masking tape idea for sure, but I'm thinking of saving the ball point pen caps for next time, not that I dont think it's a fantastic idea, just that the scoops on there already wont come off easy.

Thanks! Really starting to turn out like one!

I'm currently in debate on whether or not you could actually make out the "can't see squat". If nobody can read it then I'll try a different style or something, or maybe forget it all together.

What red paint did you use on those seats ? Man they are shiny ! Looks like a couple motors with a car wrapped around it. I like it.

Lol that's what I was going for! Most of the reason why I wanted to name it "cant see squat"

Now for the paint, I used red...

Update, styrene wheelie bar, parachute, and some decals

[Gumball]

Welp I broke the glass, at least the rear is together and still useable. I was trying to save the original glass by sanding all the scratches out of it and polishing it like I did the 55 gasser, but my buffing wheel broke it.

Rear glass turned out good though

Wheelie bar, parachute update

So just about done, made a new windshield as best I could, everything glued in and ready. I desperately wanted too put the "cant see squat" across the side in big letters however the way i made the decals made the yellow more or less transparent, so for now I'm finishing it and in the future I'm going to research these custom decals a bit more and maybe invest myself in a printer that can print in colour. The only other number was that the Moroso decals I acquired happened to be to big for the cylender heads, and the drive belt idea didn't fit due to how crammed the whole engines became to fit. Regardless I'm happy the way its turned out for now, and I think it's now worthy of the display cabinet.
