Modlbldr Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Wow! That is gorgeous!! Amazing detail work you're putting in to this. I enjoyed reading through this build to see all the little details, especially the magnets for the hood hinges. I've used those before on the hood and trunk lid on a Tamiya Beetle but never thought of using them the way you did for an open/closed hood. Great idea.

Later- Thank you Tom , I've used the magnets on doors and even to hold a bubble top open . I borrowed the idea for the hinges from Steve Guthmiller , he used them on one of his superb builds earlier this year . 3 hours ago, TransAmMike said: Impeccable work there Bob, love everything about it.? Thanks much Mike ! I'm really hoping I can finish it before the end of the year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelcarJR Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Looks great, Bob! I like the vinyl roof, color and the Detail Master working tie-downs. I have used them before and they add some nice detail not to mention all the other detail you have added. Nice work! ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John ! My first time using the hood pin kit and it was a bit tricky , especially tying the almost invisible wires to the pins !

TooOld Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 A couple of nights ago it was the moment of truth . . . assembling the body , interior , and chassis for the final time . Other then some fiddling with the dashboard everything slid right into place ! Looks like those rear wheels need an alignment . . . easy fix . While finishing off the engine compartment I thought it wouldn't be a Roadrunner without a genuine Beep-Beep horn ! The horn in place along with heater , brake vacuum , and radiator overflow hoses , all made from various sizes of insulated wire . That's about it ! Just a couple minor details to fix and I'll take some photos for "Under Glass" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Superb build Bob! This is one of the most realistic build of a '71 Roadrunner I have ever seen! Nice extra touch with the Beep-Beep horn, the color is perfect! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
