Mooneyzs Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Art.... your attention to detail is out of this world. Those hinges have to be some of the nicest I've seen and I love the trunk bracing you have added to it. Top Notch my friend!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Laski Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Since I opened the trunk, I needed to create a fuel tank to sit back there. I created a pattern then cut out some styrene. The final shape ended up a little different than the pattern, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Laski Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Dinky! I decided I could improve on the oil filter set a little bit. I am going to use some Pro Tech filters since they have a little more realistic shape than the kit ones. They will also be easier to paint as separate pieces. Also, I didnt like the way it mounted to the frame, so I pinned it instead and filled the frame where the tab was.

Art Laski Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Another little detail I did is to remove the console cover. I want to paint this wood grain and figured it would be easier to do if it was a separate piece, so I cut it off and put a piece of styrene on top of the hole and will add the lid back after it is painted. Lastly tonight, I needed to find a way to mount the injector tubes. They are hollow ferrules and don’t have a solid mounting point on the resin injector. I added styrene rod to the inside of the tube, then pinned the tube with smaller styrene rod and drilled the injectors to mount them when it’s all painted up. Thanks for looking!

Art Laski Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) A few more small updates. The outer fan belt sandwiches the blower belt and lower pulley. Since I am removing the blower and don’t need the belt, I made a simple spacer. Also, the engine block did not have the oil filter mounting block, so I added a little piece of styrene. Not exactly stunning, but it will be functional to route the lines to and be buried behind the header.

Art Laski Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 I also replaced the front springs. John Teresi did a great job fashioning new shock towers and springs for his Willys, but I wasn’t sure I could do as well, so I decided to carve out the molded spring from the part and replace it. It doesn’t look all that special in the final shot, but when painted and glued down, I think it will work out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
