Ira Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 UNDERSIDE DETAILS... I added Traction Bars from a Polar Lights Willy Wild and a 16th scale oil pan. I also added a 16th scale drive shaft. Back View... Then I added Shocks from a 16th scale MPC Cobra.. They come in 2 pieces, so I used the small halves and glued them to the front supports. The other halves of the shocks were glued to the rear supports. The gas tank is from the Pie Wagon. Next, I need to figure out the Exhaust System...

Ira Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 COLLECTORS... I cut 2 pieces of plastic tubing, with one end cut on a 45 degree angle. I painted them Aluminum and glued them in place! Now I am playing with some cotton, to see if it will work for exhaust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 BODY DETAILS!!! The Rear Bumper/Tail lights were kept stock, but painted a little differently. The Front Bumper/Grill had little Bullet Tail lights added, that were painted flat black. I needed more "Glueing Surface" on the Rear Bumper and the Engine. So I added a piece of sheet plastic inside the Bumper and Engine. This allowed me to attach the Bumper, very easily, without getting glue on the paint job! Here are the "Super Fuzz" Tires and Smokey Base attached to the Gasser!!! The Bumper and Headlights are in place. I painted the area behind the clear headlight lenses white... Here is the Rear Bumper in place. I painted the Smokey Base Flat White, then I put on a coat of Black "The Detailer" Wash. I wiped off most of the Wash with a damp paper towel.
