bryan_m Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 that dizzy looks great Fred! nice work, those are really hard to drill out......im lazy and i buy "mad" prewired distributors......LOL cheers bryan
fredo84 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 Oh no i didn't drill it ... I found some Very tiny hose from the Fujimi garage kit I have here Then I cut some and push it on the little spike that the distributor have,cut the wire and put a tiny spot of glue and thread it in the tiny hole of the hose...

bryan_m Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Fred, you have inspired me....... i wont start on this until i get the munson oldsmobile done......but i have some ideas for it! cheers bryan
fredo84 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 LOL Sweet Man ! Lookin' Good !! I didn't like the Breathing tube from the kit ( i thought it was kind of too big ....) So i made mi own from a cooper wire... I think it look way nicer.... F
bryan_m Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Nice use of copper wire, i never throw any wire away........ive got some fiber optic stuff here i need to cut up as well.....the "wires" in that are extremely thin! i think my 53 will be a very light green......a little bit of rust, and sanded to the primer here and there. cheers bryan
fredo84 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 Good choice Very light green ! If i listen to myself I would paint all my model green ... ... I might change mi initial color instead of Leather Brown I will do Tamiya TS-1 Red-Brown ...I will see how it truns out... I now I do for some primer and Teflon tape ..?... Thanks to stop buy ! F
surfjunke Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I like it. The wheel choice is cool. Nice work on the motor & front suspension lowering.
fredo84 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 I wanted to try my hand at making water hose.... So Has i went to get primer i bought a roll of Teflon as well... I foll up a thin wire on a cooper beam, roll a bit of Teflon around...Cut both and of the hose that came with the kit...glued at both and and paint flat black... I think they turns out pretty ok to me ... I will see how they look on the engine ....
fredo84 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 I Just Got The Engine Done .... I Think It Look Good ....What You Think ?? Now I have to Lowered The Back ... Thanks For Stopping Buy... Feel Free To Critic... F

fredo84 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 Tanks Guys ! Tanks For The Tips Todd ! Stuart,Here is What I did For the distributor: I Used the one from the kit ,He's got all those Little points, I cut tiny pieces of some vinyl hose that i got from the Fujimi garage tool set, Push those tiny pieces onto the little points, I took The wire that are inside the cord off headphones, Cut 1-1,5 Inch long , Put a tiny drop of glue on end, Then Threads into the vinyl hose. I hope it's clear ... Here is a picture of that vinyl hose I found ...I don't know what gauge it is.... I'm Starting on the interior ....Brown (Humbrol) and Havana Mat Brown (testors) Thanks for passing buy ! F
