38special Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Here is a 62 bird i recently finished up. I scratchbuilt, the whole interior/ leafsprings, and theres a whole lot else that i had to build. I used the frame,body,firewall,and front suspension from this kit. The rest is either from the parts box or scratchbuilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realgone58 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 That's some serious derbyage there!! However I would hate to see that be the fate of a 1:1 'Bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Wow, those are some huge bolts holding down that hood! Looks like the nuts would scale out to about 6 inches across! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38special Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Its prolly around 1in. or 1 1/4 althread in 1:1. Not uncommon on a demo car. I believe they are 1's. The zeros are smaller but the nuts are the same. Besides it looks better then a piece of roundstock shoved through the hood.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkPile Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 It looks battered and beaten then hammered back into shape for the next round. Distressing plastic to have that appearance is not an easy task. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
