mind-9 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) No MCM it's not the girl (she is part of the set up) unfortunately. UPDATE, I got a lot off great comments there for i thank you all (it keeps me going). Ok the end is near (no there are no aliens coming ) finished the rod YEAH IT IS READY. first the last photo,s Made the decals And here it's on the rod i used clear decal sheet's. The carb linkage wash a hell of a job. Put the backplate with the light's i made the light's from round styreen. Put some fuellines and some small stuff and the engine is ready. So it only misses the licenseplate but that is still wet put it on tomorrow. Well just have to finish the surprise, than i can make the final end pictures (hope i can tomorrow) and than this project is ready. Happy building, Gr Dirk Edited December 16, 2013 by mind-9
