Magic Photos Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 First try at a top fuel chassis the second car is about to come off the jig, then I have about 11 days to finish both cars for a customer. Let me know what you think. Mike Garland
Mike Kucaba Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Nice work. Any details about the jig itself? What are the brass looking items I see?

Mooneyzs Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Mike... you do some great work man. Looking good. I have a few frames that I want to scratch build myself. Mind me asking what type of glue you are using on the styrene?? I have been using weld on 3 myself. and thinking of drawing a few of my frames up in SolidWorks and printing them out 1:1 and making a jig for them. Anyway I can't wait to see more progress on this project.

Magic Photos Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 Try 1000x1000 pixels max size. lets try this the cars are done and delievered.
Magic Photos Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 If I make them bigger it tells me I have used my limit and will not let me up load any other pics. Mike
Mooneyzs Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Mike the rail looks great. nice job. Like others mentioned would be nice to see little bigger pics. I would recommend using photobucket. Thats where I store my pics and post them from there. I copy the IMG Code and paste it in my posts. example of what the IMG Code looks like: [ IMG] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/Mooneyzs/Plastic%20Models/1974%20Vega%20Army%20Funny%20Car/DP-Army-Vega035.jpg[ IMG] I purposly left off the / from at the end to show you how it looks. But all you have to really do is click on the image code in photobucket and it copies it and just past it into your post. Hope that makes sense what I am trying to show you. How long did it take for you to complete this model by the way? Edited March 24, 2011 by Mooneyzs
Magic Photos Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 I have over 300 hours in these car building both at the same time 2 of everything. Mike
Mooneyzs Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Mike you can definitely tell you have a lot of hours in them and well worth the hours. Can't wait to see some more of your builds. Keep up the great work.
