PlasticWagens Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Great work Scott, I am going down to the basement to throw away everything I have ever built! Absolutely jaw dropping stuff.
Scott Colmer Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) The pedal assembly is back. I corrected some of the previous errors and made a couple upgrades. Hosted on Fotki Got me some faux spun aluminum front rims too. Look pretty close to the real spun disks, don't they. Took a bit of experimenting to figure that one out. Hosted on Fotki Back to the garage. I'm almost ready to mount the front axle. Scott Edited July 8, 2009 by Scott Colmer
RodneyBad Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Awesome work.. Hard to believe that it's 1/25. Sure your not building a 1:1 in the garage too?
mountaindewd Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Heavens ta Betsy Scott, You put this kinda effort into a 1:1, you'd have a Riddler sit'n on your shelf.
Raul_Perez Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Looking good, Scott!! I'm glad to see that you managed to work past the Death saw's efforts to stifle this build!! The wheels look GREAT, too!! Later,
Scott Colmer Posted July 15, 2009 Author Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Opps forgot to check the clearance of the calipers to the 32 rim bolts. They hit and need to be moved outward. Fortunately I have a BUNCH of those little Grantline hex nuts. Here I have already shaved off the bolts and scraped off the foil. Hosted on Fotki OK, now that I've fixed that, time to start putting it all together. Until I realized I did not order enough R&B rod ends. Oh well, good time to take a break. Here is how it looks so far. Not sure I like the steering knuckle set up. All the steering had to go on top for clearance. Those extension tubes, still in white, are the issue. I'll have to do a couple sketches to see if I can find something better. Hosted on Fotki Back to the bench. Scott Edited July 15, 2009 by Scott Colmer
Hizoot Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Who says this is over engineered..? The great thing about your building is that you practice what you preach. You've said more than once "if you have or find a problem go back & fix it." So it dosen't matter how many bolt heads ya have, they need to look right or it's all for nothing. Well done Scott & I like the looks of your top steering & the extended knuckles as well, don't think you have much choice there. Still it's looking more like a streamliner every day..! PS- I tried some Scale Motorsports interior deecals (plaid) & liked it. They worked well the very first time..! This IS NOT a commercial endorsement & your results may vary..! Just covering my butt !

Raul_Perez Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 It's continuing to come together very nicely, Scott!! Later,
E St. Kruiser50 Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Hi Scott I agree with Raul. I've been watching your progress from pretty much the beginning. A lot of patience makes all the difference. Great job, and I'll keep watching - dave
MikeMc Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Hi Scott I agree with Raul. I've been watching your progress from pretty much the beginning. A lot of patience makes all the difference. Great job, and I'll keep watching - dave I think that says it all!!!!! WOW
garryrenfro Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Okay Scott, I think I read this somewhere, but can't locate it. What universe were you born in?

Alyn Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 So, I guess there is an upside to having tiny hands ...
Scott Colmer Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 So, I guess there is an upside to having tiny hands ... Good one Alyn. LOL - Oh wait, why am I laughing. No, I use tweezers...... No wait. ....to build with. Oh dang it. Back through the worm hole.... Thanks for all the encouragement, gents! Scott
Alyn Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 You know I"m kidding, man. I wish my tiny hands could do this kind of work. Your detail parts stand up nicely under the magnifying glass. Keep it coming
