ScrappyJ Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Exceptional work, Rick! Can't wait to see more.
Mooneyzs Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Rick... Killer work. That engine is looking great sitting in the chassis.
RickArt Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Hi, Here´s some pics. before I put every thing away for a while. i have invest in a house, so now it´s time to move from this apartment...happy happy joy joy!! My resin CBD-injector got some nice Scale Motorsport carbon fiber decals. I will coat it later with some layers of clear.  When I did a mockup with chassis/body I was not satisfied...the cage top didn´t match the roofline inside...ouch! time to get back to the drawingboard....and make a new chassis.   see you later...and take care! / Rick Edited April 3, 2018 by RickArt
Prostreet Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Awesome stuff Rick, love your clean work. Congrats on the house.
tyrone Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Awesome stuff Rick, love your clean work. Congrats on the house. x2
GoatGuy Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Yeah Rickard congratulations on your house. The scoop looks great. My stupid question of the day - would it have been easier to repair the top of the cage instead of building a new chassis? I've never done one from scratch so my inexperience is evident.
RickArt Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Dave, I could have done that, but there was more than one problem. The pe 4-link plates didn´t fit at all and the space inside was to narrow for the seat. Fixing these issues will probably take more time and will for sure affect the final result..so I decided to build a new chassis. / Rick
bmc010 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 where did you get those pullies and what are you using for that belt...looks amazing man cant wait to see more and good luck on the house
RickArt Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 The pullies was custom made for me and I used them as a master for casting. Here is a pic of the resin product. The belt are made from 5 layers of thin ImagePerfect vinyl. The belt is just an experiment...so time will show if it works.. / Rick
Mooneyzs Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Rick... nice work on everything. I love seeing updates of your builds especially this one. You sure have some talent.
Car Man Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 The CBD injector.. what is the yellow stuff that you used
bmc010 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 if i recall from when this build was started, the yellow stuff on the injector was tamiya putty hardened and sanded to shape.
mind-9 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Rick, Great job i love scratch building and this one is well got no words for it it,s just out of this world Gr Dirk
RickArt Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 It´s alive!! After some accurate measurement I decided to build a jig for the new chassie. I think thats the right way for the best result. / Rick
