Lowlife ! ! Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Nice job Scott......... ........ Ive seen a lot of people using your parts on their builds so Its good to see what you can do with your own build ! Stunning detail so far, cant wait to see it in paint.......... Lowlife ! !
Mooneyzs Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Scott... phenominal work Brother.. that thing ia looking good. I love the stance of the car. You nailed it. All of your hard work is paying off. I cant wait until the next epic update.
Armornv Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Looking at pictures of bone stock Fairmonts, I've always been kinda meh... Never really thought it was anything fantastic. But seeing this version of one has completely opened my eyes! This is an awesome looking ride! Your attention to detail and overall build quality if simply awesome. I love what you're doing with this one. Can't believe I haven't commented on it yet! Seriously great work so far Scott!
futurattraction Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks, guys, for all your comments and encouragement. As long as I don't drop something again, I am pretty happy with the visual progress, if not how long it's taking me to do it... LOL
BirdWatcher Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Great Scott! I mean great work Scott! Love the shots of the tire and wheelie bar. Sure do admire your "can do" work ethic. Keep up the good work!
Sledsel Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 well, I just spent quite a bit of time reading this from page 1... all I can say is this build is off the hook.
MeatMan Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Hey Scott, what tires are you using on this build. They look huge.
futurattraction Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Hi Buzz. Thanks! I keep getting off-track for a variety of reasons (fingers in too many pies), then having to get myself back into the swing of things. Thank you, so much, Edgar! Hey Stan! Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Thanks, so much, Andy. Be patient and, Lord willing, there will be a lot more to come. More suspension detail, front and rear; brake and fuel lines, hopefully some electrical, multi-media detailed engine/trans, a new multi-media steering wheel kit that I'll be coming out with before too much longer, tin work detailing and some more cockpit pieces. Dennis - The slicks I'm using are some of what I sell on my Futurattraction website. They are comparable in size to the big Revell slicks, but are one piece, made of soft urethane rubber, and have no mold line in the tread. They look great, feel very realistic and because the tread is smooth, they prep very easily. Take a look at 'em! Edited March 30, 2015 by futurattraction
GoatGuy Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 The latest work is looking really good Scott. Another source for learning.
ScrappyJ Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I haven't stopped in to take a peek in some time, Scott: looking great!
futurattraction Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 I reached a bit of a milestone last night. I finally was able to complete repairs on the broken passenger side strut mount, got the gusset added, and actually have the car so it sets on all fours for the first time. I'm using Beadalon crimp tubes (necklace-making item) which serves as the bushing inside the upper strut mount. For the moment, I've got a straight-pin holding everything together up-top, with it extending down through the strut and lower A-arm wishbone mount. I added tubing back at the firewall to tie the top of the upper strut tube into the frame rail, which you can see in this pic. It keeps the rear of the resin "tin work" from floating and makes the front end assembly much more rigid. Head-on shot Head-on low-angle Same angle as pic 1 with the tin work setting in place Passenger side angle Angle from other side Comments welcome!
slammedi'am Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Looking good man!!! im about to start on mine that I got Chip (Xtreme scale detail) to get me...hopefully mine turns out as well as yours!
afx Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 I have been following this build for awhile. Very nice work so far Scott.
Mister Twister Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 That tin work is awesome.........It gets better with each update...Excellent Scott!
Mooneyzs Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Scott.... it is great to see you back on this build. Man that is sure some nice work on that front end. What a huge moment to have it sitting on all 4's I know the feeling you are having right now and its a big milestone. Keep up the great work and I am already looking forward to the next update.
Nitrozilla Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Wow Scott, that looks mean as all get out. I love it when it can sit that low and still have a nose down rake. Looks like it's ready to pounce on the first Hemi it sees. Keep it up man.
Red rocket 10 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Beautiful work Scott, can't wait to see it done . Leonard Edited May 26, 2015 by Red rocket 10
MeatMan Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Thanks again for doing this Scott. I've been collecting the parts and necessary skills to complete a resin build I've had for a couple of years. I've assembled the engine but have been hesitant to start on the chassis work. This helps immensely. Btw, a few of those parts came from Futurattraction.
