crazyrichard Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) just shot 2 pics outside , also sanded the edges all around a bit so i can give that a slightly different wash for some variation Edited October 17, 2012 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) just did a nother round on the roadster fitted a moontank i still had , it was crisp but i roughed it up just a tad to match the roughness of the car better , gave it aa base silver coat . i will add a fuelcap and fuelline later on also cleaned up the rims edges some more , gave the axle struts a little silver layer (more washed) and gave the rocker covers a bit of chrome (only the top layer) crappy evening light pic >> Edited October 17, 2012 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 decided to tone down the rust / brown and do more chrome , changed the ugly headlights for larger ones and did them chrome already put electric wires on them just need to direct them along the engine to the firewall then made a first set up for the fuell line out of the moontank , drilled a hole and glued in a piece of plastic where the grey hose you see fits in , so it has some depth and looks nicer , the plan is to cut the grey hose right after where it comes out so only a tiny bit sticks out and thenm add a thinner fuelhose inside the grey hick hose maybe i even put on a chrome sidevieuw mirror (top end side of the windowframe) and chrome doorhandles to break the brown) also will make the sprak plug wires red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I didn't build this but I've owned it for a while. It was nice enough that I didn't dump it into the parts box but it sure could use a rebuild. You've given me inspiration! Yours looks super!
