Kennyboy Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 Wow Ken this thing is looking awesome! That Enzo chassis fits like a glove. I can't wait to see more!!! Thanks Bobby! Hopefully will get to work on it more tomorrow!
Kennyboy Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Still watching- Still amazed! David G. Thanks David for following! Decided for the interior I am going to use a combo of Testarossa and Enzo. The Testarossa interior tub fits like it was made for this build, while the Enzo seats are just a perfect fit. Interior will be Black with Red accents and carbon fiber seatbacks with a planned chrome rollbar behind the seats. Also, the Enzo engine got it's individual tube header exhaust today (solder for all the primary tubes.....12 tubes! ) and the mid-engine transmission was removed in favor of a custom rear wheel drive version that I put together.
DrKerry Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 KOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL,,,,, Pics?? LOL
Kennyboy Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Did someone say pics? This weekend's progress was mostly mockups for the chassis/interior portion of the build. The plus was I made a new firewall out of the Enzo firewall that strengthened the body immensely and will be "one" with the body when it is casted in resin. Here are a few pics of updates:
Kennyboy Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) New front end progress (What a pain to build this.......a lot of different angles in here!) Edited October 15, 2013 by Kennyboy
DrKerry Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Hate to say it but the upper grille needs a bit more upward rounding!!! Not that I was being picky or anything!!! LMAO It's looking awesome Ken!!!!! You build some nice s$@#!!!!!!!!!
Shardik Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Angles...and curves and tangents...oh my! You're definitely homing in on it.

LMAO It's looking awesome Ken!!!!! You build some nice s$@#!!!!!!!!! did you forget to mention that the hood extends farther forward (closer to the grille) on the 1:1 than is currently replicated? nevermind, it looks fantastic to me already.

Never even noticed that one Mike! Been so busy trying to shape the front out of what I had to work with I did not stop to look at the small details yet......darn it.

I notice a lot of small details, I usually don't point them out lately due to not wanting to hinder the process. If you like I can PM you the things I see rather than start a flame war in your threads. I'm not picking on your work (which is great...you have an excellent eye for coaxing masterpieces out of plastic bits) but sometimes things get missed while your focus is on other things.

DOOOHHHH!!!!!!! Man that's it, I need new glasses. My mind has been on eye candy overload watching this build that the small details are eluding me.......Oh the humanity!!!!!! Ok, deep breath!!!! Ok, I'm currently and medically NuTs!!!!!! Nah, but seriously I did miss that one Mike!!! LOL

I hear that, like on the other post. I got so wrapped up in that I miss the small details. Great eye Mike!!!!!!!
Kennyboy Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Ok, today's progress included: making the front grille area bigger at the top and blending it in (needs sanding yet but you get the idea) sanding and smoothing of the whole body (getting it ready for bondo which will be the next round of filling) got the front lower valance completed (shapewise needs a little fine tuning but the general idea is there.)
lanesteele240 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Hey kenny B. i hear revell is going to release this kit in the spring of next year. It looks great. Keep it up. You have no danger of them beating you to the finish line and their roof will be 2 inches to low

This should be available by Jimmy prior to that. Thanks for the support!!
lanesteele240 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I was just kidding. That is the thing that would happen to me if i would scratch build a car. One of the companys would stamp out millions of them
