Mister Twister Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks fellas, I did quite a bit of detailing to the engine with plumbing and so on. I used size 0 beads but they look large to me in the pics.
Mister Twister Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Everything looks better tucked inside the body...Thanks for looking in!
Bartster Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 This is getting down right fascinating! excellent workmanship.
Nitrozilla Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Darryl, as far as the bead size thing goes, I plan on telling anybody that asks about my use of them on the Topless Terror, that they are a new Hi-Tech fitting that doesn't require tools. Works just like an air house quick change to speed up repairs. I'd buy that if I was me.
mustanggt Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 For wheel tubs I have used the plastic from the top of paint cans for many projects. East to cut out and the right shape and size.

Works just like an air house quick change to speed up repairs. I'd buy that if I was me. High tech on a retro ride Joe? I think there are a lot of people who would laugh in your face or snicker behind your back with a goofy claim like that. Whatever happened to building models in realistic terms? A bigger question is: Why lie about why something you made when it looks wrong to those who know what they should look like? (Or anyone for that matter.) I plan to try to make accurate parts so I don't have to make up fibs... I do like most of what you have done on your build Darryl, except the beads that is...

W-409 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 That looks great, engine detailing is incredible. MSD ignition caught my eye-it looks very good to me. Can't wait to see more updates, it's very interesting build.
Mister Twister Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 I decided on red camo paint and a combo of Slixx decals and its now ready for several coats of clear. I'll move on to engine and interior details.
1320wayne Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Excellent work on the paint Daryl. I saw the chassis and engine up close this past weekend and it looks great.

hOLMS Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 This is gonna be wicked, I've enjoyed your build, thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see it finished.
W-409 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Wow, Great Job On The Body Painting! That's Smooth And Shiny. Going To Be Very Nice Build When Finished, I'll Keep Watching.
