spotarama Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) got this one as a glue bomb swap meet special, it's a johan kit. it was missing an A pillar and its wheels. it had a complete motor with beautifully formed headers. i replaced the A pillar with a length of 'angle iron' welded in place, upgraded a parts box roll cage, replaced the runk and hood panels with alloy sheet roughly bent to shape, they attach to the body over very short lengths of dressmakers pin through holes in the panels. the sills were also done the same way and then bent and twisted with my special bending and twisting pliers courtesy of the dentists surgery i was given (seriously, a whole surgery up to and including the chair) the motor came with the dual carb set-up so i drilled and meshed two holes in the hood for them to breathe through the trunk contains the fuel cell, battery and engine fire extinguisher with a smaller personal extinguisher beside the race seat inside the cabin theres a minimal amount of wiring but not plug wires (i'm working my way up to them...any day now) Edited September 2, 2013 by spotarama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Very convincing work, I really like the bent-up body panels. Do you use the dentist chair for modeling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
