Joe thats why we post here in the forums so others can learn from what we know. Thx for your compliment buddy. Nice work on the chute handles. they look great. Man I cant believe you are almost done with this build. I cant wait to see the paint on this one. Chris is been a long journey for sure im kinda sad its comming to an end .....no im not! Hey fellas I have a small update .....well not really small cause its gonna take a few post but I mean small in the size of the parts LOL! Anyway I needed to make the throttle linkage so heres what i did. I used solder to make most of the parts for this because its solt but sterdy and easy to form Using my neddle nose I flated a small piece of solder to the size I needed it to be.... Then it was drilled and a slit was cut into it with an exacto blade ...... heres the final piece after hardware was added...... ok the next piece is in the next section......
Romell R Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Ok so were back and the next piece I had to make will be attached to the throttle cable so I needed an "L" lever I used the solder again and used the same proceedure to make it. this is before I cut it away and final shaped it... I had to make one more bracket that will hold the whole assembly together also made form solder... ok here the pieces comming together.... Here you can see it all put together Now I just need to find some 1/16th scale throttle cable , Cya on the next one
Dragracer Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 You call them small! LOL! They look good Rom, I really think that those parts are a couple of inches in length , you just have HUGE hands! LOL!
Romell R Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Oh man look what just showed up at my door! ......... Thats Right the 1/16th promod body fromTDR/Shapeways im gonna post up more pics of this in a differant thread and talk about it a bit more....
Romell R Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 I love it when Santa sneaks one in.... Made for a good evening last night thats for sure
Mooneyzs Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 The Linkages are killer and look great man!! Loving your work on this build.
stump Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Rom, the linkages look excellent man, and truly add to this stellar build. That's a nice set up actually, great stuff mate. And the 69 looks good too......................................
Romell R Posted March 11, 2012 Author Posted March 11, 2012 Oh man Im getting excited all thats left is finish the fire suppression system , front brakes and paint the body ( i think ) as long as I dont find something I forgot along the way (which I always seem to do) . The body work is pretty much finished just a blemish or two to fix then I can spray. here's the latest I got all the lines throttle , brake, etc. and i got the floor pan installed heres the pics Look out for the solder cobra !
jmpsebring Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Awesome idea for the linkage! Those little victories are just as impressive as the big parts. Also did a great job with the bending of the floor. The angled fuel lines coming off the hat is another fave part for me. It's going to take some time to dig out from that work area!! Edited to change pig parts to big parts!! Edited March 13, 2012 by jmpsebring
