stulee11 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Really nice details on that engine, looks great. I often forget to install dip stick... Hope you don't mind, if I give little suggestion: Maybe push those ignition wires bit lower from both sides of that distributor. Now those wires look like they are made from metal, as they are like that. Maybe that doesn't matter in finished model, but that's what I should do. do you mean make them look like there sagging in between the dizzy and the first holder ??? if so taken on board and just done it lol . thanks for the comment and advice .

W-409 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 No problem, Stuart! And that's exactly, what I meant. Just didn't know correct words to explain it.

stulee11 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 few more seats and roll cage are coming on nicely
stulee11 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 and last ones engine nearly done just the belt and fan to go . i looked up on the net and incase anyone is wondering why there is 3 wires hanging off its because 1 for the battery and the other red and black is for the alternator . it can wire straight up to the starter and earth to the block . and this is with the dipstick moved to the other side lol thanks for looking in and the wicked comments hope you all like whats going on with this one . thanks stu (p.s) does the wires look better now niko ??? lmao
Rdkingjay Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Don't know how I managed to miss this thread, but awesome work so far!!. I have the Revell "Special Edition" '68 Charger kit and for those who don't have one, get one! They are fantastic kits that are easy enough for a novice, but well suited for detailing by the experienced builder. One of the best I have seen in years. Great job Stu. Looking forward to more progress.

Looking forward to more progress. thanks mate i did the "70 charger" kit and that was so nice to put together and a joy to build .
Mr. Moparman Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Whaaaa??? there's a '70 Charger!!! Pics pleazzzz!!!!!!! Otherwise this will be a great model. Keep it up.
LoneWolf15 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Stu , Just my opinion , I'd pull the wires down tighter. Your model , your call .
W-409 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Well now those plug wires look good! Great job on the chassis too. It's going to be really nice build, when finished. I'm sure about that. Nova is nice car, and I like that color scheme, you've used so far.
stulee11 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 the "70 charger" pics are on here somewhere lol in "under glass" . What do you mean pull the wire's tighter to the model ? Thanks everyone for the comments there really helping me out on this one .
stulee11 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 my mistake it isn't a "70" its a "67 charger" kit
stulee11 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 another update peps engine is all done just gotta put it in the chassis .
