The Phenom Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Hi guys! i bought this kit a few years ago i stored for a while until i get enough time to work with let's start with the chassis .as you can see the rough material of the parts made this kit a little dessapoint one but with a little patience and work with the correct tools it will look great.,all the details are there but they are hidden by a little rough film that is the mold release powder,this type of powder is used to make easy to remove the part from the rubber mold so a little sand and file will remove it ,some of the parts doesn't mold well in the spin cast process so those parts needs more attention and some fill with white epoxy almos all of the parts were aligned prefectly and drilled to pre assemble the chassis to see if have any issues ,and i found a lot,this cause a assembly problems and poor fit of the parts causing a poor appeareance ,
The Phenom Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 i use diamond files from squadron and sanding blocks to clean the chassis and other parts here i check the fit of the floor pan.i need to align the chassis to fit flat to the floorpan ,note the poor molding and rough material i reworked the engine because all the parts doesnt fit prefectly so i drilled the pinholes a little larger and adjusted some warped parts
The Phenom Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 here most of the chassis parts and engine were installed to see how fit ,next i will adjust the suspension wheel spindles and rear axle., stay tune! most of the parts instaled needed modifications drilling and a lot of work the front upper suspension were modified to fit correctly to the chassis and headers fit .,this is the part without modifing and this is the modification to let the headers fit well in the cylinder heads
Erik Smith Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Cool. I've never seen one of the MFH being built so this is interesting. MFH is an interesting company too.
Foxer Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Very interesting! ... don't see many of these built
cruz Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Hey guys, class is in session, grab your chairs, pencils and paper, lot's to learn here! Keep us posted Rey!
jaymcminn Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 It's definitely going to be interesting to see one of these MFH kits built up. I don't think I have either the patience or the bankroll to see one through!
Chillyb1 Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I'm glad you have the time, patience, and skill required for a build like this because I sure don't. I'm going to enjoy watching all the way.
