rv1963 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 A couple of engine pics of the Ed Roth outlaw show car i have never tryed one of his cars but i am starting to like the subject matter and it looks like a pretty simple kit, the engine is pretty much done just need to add an ignition coil and do some touch up, any and all comments welcome.

rv1963 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) One pic of the interior painted to match the engine, i gave the steering wheel a coat of tamiya white lacquer than a coat of iridescent white so it would have that pearl look still needs a second coat and a final clear coat kind of an experiment to see if this will work on the entire body.

rv1963 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 I finished the frame and most of the suspension just have to add the shocks front and rear and do some touchup, the frame was prepped with tamiya white primer than sprayed with Tamiya gloss white and 2 airbrused coats of iridescent white and 3 coats of clear gloss i wish you could see the iridescent paint it looks a lot like pearl.

rv1963 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 A little update i got the front and rear wheels installed just had to see what it would look like i made the white wall tires using very thin vinyl tape, this is a very small car almost looks like 1/32 scale but i like it, next i work on the body parts.

jaydar Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I was wondering about those side rails. Do you know if the 1:1 side rails were open ( ] ) on the inside or if they were closed ( [] ) ??? It sure would be less work if open was scale. Great work so far. thanks, joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rv1963 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) That's a good question joseph i have several pics of the car but you can't see the inside frame rails with the engine in the car and the body on it, i think from the factory these early model t cars had open frame rails and a lot of hot rod guys would box them in for added strength because of the high powered motors and it looks better maybe some one else has an anwser.

jaydar Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I forgot to ask about the shocks in front. Are those the kit shocks? They look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rv1963 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) I assume you mean the coil springs the stock ones were thick blobs of chrome with very little detail so i replaced them with some wire i wrapped around a small piece of brass rod several times then i cut them to size and painted chrome before installing them i put a small piece of brass wire painted white centered in the coil spring mount because it's load bareing.
