I think you are doing a killer job on is build. I know what you mean on not going back to a smaller scale. 1/16th scale is my favorite for drag racing builds. I love how much easier it is to do detailing on the bigger sizes. I am looking forward to more progress on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod28 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi just a little update. I tell you it is real nerve racking cutting open doors on a good body and then to start on the body bracing so here we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotrod28 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Making the pillar out of brass and bolt tabs to hold the body on so will be adding more all along the bottom and back of body and a full floor pan in and out so lots to go . Just a bit of a break on the chassis to do the body mounts and to cast up some parts before they become fixtures on the P/M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Ooooooh, see what I been missing in my absence. Darryl, incredible craftsmanship on display right here lad. GREAT work! The intricate brass fabrication is mind blowing mate, look forward to seeing more as it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedsModeling Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Looks really intricate and detailed, Darryl - just how I like it. My hat's off to you for using brass in place of styrene. Too bad paint will cover it all up and nobody can appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
