Mooneyzs Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Rickard.... this is turning our amazing. The detail is just out of this world. I love the paint choice you went with too. The trunk looks killer and love the trick with the Acorn nut to help shape the bondo. I do have to ask where you got those holding tools you used holding the bad pedal linkages. Looking forward to your next update.
Speedfreak Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Wow, never thought I'd see you working on this again, glad you are!
Spex84 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Wow, beautiful work! I'm so glad to see this project has been revived

Looking forward to your next update. Hi Chris, I think I found those holding tools at Micro Mark many years ago...I think they still got them. Thanks for all comments guys... I have looking for some nice headers for this build for a while now, but I have not find any that fits spot on. The space between the frame and the engine heads are very very tight. I´ve been looking in evrey signle model kit , part box whitout finding what I´m looking for...so I decided to make my own headers the same way that I did on the "Skunkworks Pro Mod Nova"... from electrical installation cord.

iBorg Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Found this again. wonderful work.....maybe I'll get back on some old projects. This is a wonderful build.
GoatGuy Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Great work Rickard. The headers are looking good. I never thought of using wire for headers.
RickArt Posted May 20, 2018 Author Posted May 20, 2018 Hi. Thanks for all comments. I´m finaly done with the chassie...the onely thing missing are the headlight glass linces. Then it´s all about the interior and decals and som small details. This will be the final update before the finished build.... Hope u like it so far. Thanks for looking in /Rick
gasser59 Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Seeing this one mocked up is a real treat. Looking at those headers now, one would never know they are wire insulation. Simply stunning craftsmanship. Looking forward to the finished project.
GoatGuy Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 I agree this build looks awesome, stunning, great. Looking forward to more updates
Mooneyzs Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Rick.... this build is stunning and looks great. Love the color on this. Nice work.
Codi Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Fantastic build Rickard, all the way around. I admire your assembly skills as there is not one thing out of place, glue showing, everything is symmetrical..................just so well done. cheers, tim
RickArt Posted July 3, 2018 Author Posted July 3, 2018 Update. Here is some pics. of the last pieses. I made a new undercarrige for the seat, scratchbuilt from Evergreen rod. This one look better and more accurate. The steering wheel was stolen from Revells "Big John" 41 Willys kit. I masked the rim with Vallejos "Liquid mask" and then airbrushed the center with Alclad stailess steel. Tachometer decal from Slixx. Housing made from K&S alu tubing. The fire extinguisher. / Rick
RickArt Posted July 3, 2018 Author Posted July 3, 2018 Finished! Hope u like it, and thanks for following this project the last eight years! /Rick
