Pro Tech Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks guys! Ed, no, the nuts are not stacked (one per location), that the thickness they are etched in. Charlie Pro Tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelyEd Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks, when on the "tree" they seam to be rather thin, but after seeing them installed, apparently they aren't too thin after all. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyD340 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Very NICE Charlie, did you use testors metalizer paints, looks great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Tech Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Very NICE Charlie, did you use testors metalizer paints, looks great!! Thanks guys! Pappy, I only use metalizer paints on the smallest of small parts (brushed) as I don't use an airbrush for any paint work, I hate the set-up/clean-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro Tech Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Well I got a "little" more done on this. Installed the following Pro Tech parts - plug wires, plug wire looms, plug boots, fuel line with hex fittings. I then mildly weathered everything to give it that "real world' effect. On to the tire/wheel assembly! Thanks for looking! Charlie Pro Tech Model Parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Hey Charlie... Its great to see you back on this. the detail looks great. I am looking forward to more. On another note... Have you thought about doing spark plug wire looms in 1/16th scale to fit your 1/16th scale plug wire??... hint hint ...

W-409 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Looking Great! Your work is always impressive. Those Metal Finishes are really nice and that combined with spectacular detailing looks very good. My Pro Tech Braided Lines are somewhere between Miami and Finland... Can't wait.

Pro Tech Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Thanks guys for the kind comments, really appreciate them! It's been hard trying to get some progress on this with other things in life keeping me busy. Who knows, at this rate maybe I'll have her done by decades end :lol: . Chris, I have thought about the looms in 1/16 but don't think the market is there yet. Good idea though! Charlie Pro Tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Charlie... I think I have you beat on getting progress done. I have been on my funny car for over 2-1/2 years now and I need to finish it so I can move on to someone builds I have planned lol. No worries on the looms. I totally understand. I am trying to figure out what I can use for them for my Army Vega F/C. I almost wish I had my own home photo-etch system at home ...lol Get to the bench when you can and I will be looking forward to your next update. I just love how clean your work is.

Pro Tech Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys, well I got a "little" more done on this. Wheels/Tires are complete with added detail using Pro Tech's hex fittings (PTMC 25) for lug nuts and machined aluminum valve stems (PTMC 72). Next, I installed Pro Tech's racing harness (PTMC 17) revised to represent a vintage style (a tutorial how to do this is on my website) on the kits seat. Till next time, thanks for looking!
