I finally fell off my wallet and build a spray booth out on one sheet of MDF and a bathroom fan 150 CFM. Changed my life cut out a blank to go into the tracks of a sliding window and attached the exhaust hose to that Got fancy and added a furnace filter to the system Net result out of pocket $195,00 CAN, spray anytime I want to, wife HAPPY, so I'm happy, can spray small pieces without worry and the paint Jobs are better With the filter zero overstay on the exhaust fan. This has helped my modeling more than any other cash outlay, and our home life is much better. My recommendation build one ,buy one , or borrow one it's a no lose deal!

Tortuga Kustomz Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I did some work with the beast, not much but good for me, Added some decals to the chassis and is clear, added some detail parts on the interior, clutch, brake and gas pedals, added a 1/16 aluminum tub for the stirring column and a clock gear for the stirring wheel parts, came out nice on my point of view, then i did some work on the blower, after detail painting the fuel valve and the fuel distributor block, added the details to the blower hat and they came out great, am really happy with the results, hope you guys like it...

Glen Thank you Glen, i really appreciated Well guys, first time i have this up and down feeling on a build... First i put a lot of work on the rear end and the wheelie bars, the wheelie bars i wanted to be a 92" in scale for this project Soon as i mounted everything on the chassis, i find out the the wheelie bars hit the chassis and didn't let the tire touch the ground, and the 4 link arms were to long and make the wheel and tire out of center At the end, the wheels and tires were center, but the 92" wheelie bars was gone, end up with a 78" wheelie bars in scale this is my basic idea with all the work So i have to take everything a part, i damage the paint on the 4 ling brackets This is my final result Edited February 14, 2021 by Tortuga Kustomz missing information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMuscleFan Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I think that's bad for a good Marcos, the shorter wheelie bars are more appropriate for that big body. There are no such builds that are done without small adjustments along the way, you are heading in the right direction my friend! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I wouldn't even worry about the dinged paint on the four-link brackets. They move those things, all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProModNut Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I have a body in storage at my nephew's house, along with a '64 Comet Pro-Mod body from Bandit Resins, it's pretty much a copy of the Ronnie Sox Comet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
