Fuel Coupe Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Very nice soldering work. I dabble in brass/copper/tin etc. But nothing to your caliber. I do have one question, Where did you get the copper rings for the steering wheel? Did you bend or buy those. Again, Thanks for the tutorial. Edited July 23, 2011 by TxRat
Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 OMG He's Back!!!! :blink: Glad to see it, and what a heck of an update Randy. You made my day. And thanks so much for the tutorial. Everything you've done has been Awesome. I can't wait for more.
Chuck Most Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 When this thing is done, I just might have to hang up my hat. It's already surpassed anything I've ever built, and its still in its embryonic stages.

Dr. Cranky Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Can't wait to see more progress. This is simply stunning!

John, Thank you my friend!! Now get that bench cleaned up and get to work Thanks Ron R. Hi Brodie, Appreciate the kind words. Tryone, Thanks for looking in, think your work in the Dragster Section is great stuff!! Update, Working on the cab details. Making up the clutch and brake pedals and a frame for the seat...
Randy D Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Making up a seat pad and some paper patterns for seat belts....
Randy D Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 The seat pad is modelling clay that I can bake to harden when I'm happy with it, have not decided on seat belt material yet. Thanks for looking in, Randy
Rob Z Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Is that clay you used for the seat pads??? That really looks great!!! Great job on the pedals too... Edited August 24, 2011 by Rob Z
W-409 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 This one is looking amazing! I love the detail work, you've done for it. I like the interior very much. Pedals are looking good. This is going to be very great model, it looks just like real car right now already.
BigEdsGarage Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 OMG! What more can be said? OMG! How about "INSANE"!!!! This is just incredible.
MikeMc Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 BRAVO SIR!!!! the seat backs from clay are so simple but yet perfect!!
Romell R Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Once again Randy you blow me away with your skills may i suggest using Johnson & Johnson bandage tape for your seat belts. its the closest thing in scale to the nylon belts used in real vehicles. Keep up the OUTSTANDING work my friend. Romell
LAone Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 i think everything has been said already. so, just keep it going, i love this build.
Sixx Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I just checked this thread again...............I'm totally speechless. Randy, you sir, are AMAZING!!!! Sixx
