David G. Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Ah, the Seventies! There was just no escaping the "Avocado Green"! Seriously though, that's a great looking interior! Nice detail work, I especially like the wood inserts. David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Making a bit of progress on this project this week. Been extremely busy the last few weeks and hasn't left much time. I did manage to get the front suspension lowered and installed but no pics. Today I have been working on the BMF. Most of one side done. Just the window feames to do. But for now I have housework to get finished. Later- 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 The foil looks clean and tight, even the script. Cool! David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 Thanms fellas. The foil on this is taking quite a while. Worked another two hours on it last night during our club meeting. Got most of the drivwr's side done. Still needs the wheel arches done. Got it mocked up for ride height too. The body is sitting a bit too far back as evidenced by how the rear axle seems to be too far forward. Later- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Hi Tom. The front wheel looks like it's just about where it should be, at least from the photos above. In addition to the rear wheel being too far foreword, the back looks a bit high too. Maybe an adjustment to the rear axle and suspension would be the thing to do? Unless of course the one you're replicating had a rake like the one on the model. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sits where it needs to be once I hold it in place. The problem with the picture I took is that I had the body sitting where it should be and then decided to put the hood in place for the picture and it moved the body a bit. As far as the ride height, it is a bit of the same answer along with the fact that he said there was about two inches of clearance between the tires and rear fenders. The rear will sit a bit lower in the final mock up. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought I'd say something because sometimes we don't see what we're seeing when we see it. If you see what I mean. Cheers, David G.

bamadon Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) I remember when these came out and they were beautiful cars. What you have done has only enhanced that beautiful design. Love it. I had intended this post for the Riviera WIP. Some how I screwed up and put it here. Edited May 15 by bamadon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
