Prostreet Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 The rear end and wheelie bar assembly look great Wayne, Also good to hear that you will try to get TEM going again down the road.
eviltwincustoms Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 The vette, keeps looking better with each update... Like everyone said, that rear end housing and wheelie bar set up looks outstanding. It sure would have been nice to have that in some sort of kit form. But I don't think resin would have been the right medium, because it would have been extremely brittle for something that small in diameter.
Dragracer Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 The TEM rear-end/wheelie bars look great Wayne, as everything you & Chris were doing, glad to hear you might be getting TEM back up & running, I hope so, Chris had so many things planned for TEM & I was really sad to hear that it wouldn't be happening, now I have my hopes up again, it will really be nice to see some of that stuff out again. How's Chris doing by the way?
tyrone Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Looking good Wayne... keep it going... the rear end and wheelie bars look good...
1320wayne Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 More progress. Starting to get some work done on the engine, bellhousing, 3-speed Lenco and rearend housing. All the while I am getting more work done on the chassis to the point that I should have an update on that one by tommorrow night.
tyrone Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Looking good Wayne...I'm sure you're gonna use NOS on this one right???
Dragracer Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 The engine is looking real nice Wayne, like the red valve covers.
1320wayne Posted May 29, 2012 Author Posted May 29, 2012 Looking good Wayne...I'm sure you're gonna use NOS on this one right??? You bet. A first for me as I have never done up a complete nitrous motor before.
tyrone Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 You bet. A first for me as I have never done up a complete nitrous motor before. now that's what I'm talking bout good stuff Wayne...
David Thibodeau Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Wayne, Looking good man.... I like the texture finish on the modulat rear end.
1320wayne Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 Slow and steady progress. I decided to swap out the scoop that I'm going to use for one that I mastered for TEM. Most of the chassis is done. Added all of the main chassis bars along with the driver cage. And, I started adding some of the fine photo etch pieces from the Dirtmodelor set. The four link brackets are in along with the body braces at the front of the chassis and the top brackets for the spindle mounts. Next up is the floorboards and the remaining chassis bars along with the rest of the photo etch brackets for the suspension.
gasser59 Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Out freekin' standing!!! I was wondering when we would be seeing an update on this one. Looks great Wayne, dang straight! Edited June 2, 2012 by gasser59
Plasticfanatic Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Superb looking project, the amount of work and great detail is amazing.
Mooneyzs Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Wayne... your update is looking great man. the chassis is sure coming along and looking great!
Dragracer Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 The chassis is looking super Wayne & that TEM hood scoop looks great!
Mister Twister Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Real nice work on the chassis and the scoop looks great!
1320wayne Posted June 20, 2012 Author Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Moving right along. I'm thinking that I almost have the chassis ready for paint. All of the nice Dirtmodelor photo-etch brackets are in place for the suspensions. I added rails for the seat and the floorboards are done. The rear differential is assembled and painted and ready for some added detail like brake lines. I went with resin brake rotors and calipers because once the tires and wheels are in place you won't see most of this part of the assembly. Edited June 20, 2012 by 1320wayne
Dragracer Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 The chassis & rear-end are looking good Wayne, everything seems to be coming together real nice.
tyrone Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Chassis is looking great Wayne... ready for the next update...
eviltwincustoms Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Wayne, has that chassis looks nice. I really like how you have the floor pan under the drivers side. The rear end housing is coming along nicely, and I have to say the mounts scare me because the look extremely brittle! By the way I received the package in the mail! Thanks for the items.
