High octane Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Your project is lookin' really good Ryan. Sorry the decals didn't work out for you. Did you have them custom made, or are they available on the fireball website? Thanks.
John Pol Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Great job so far I have a question for you what did you use to tie the brake lines to the frame? If possiable can you show me how you did it. Keep up the good work love it so far. John Pol
Devilsnake98 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks all for the kind words. I bought the fireball decals from ebay, just was looking through and found those and bought em. there was no warning on how transparent they were or that they should only be used on light colors. The faux brake line clamps were just a tiny piece of BMF folded over the line, the CA glued in place also holding the line in place on the frame. Then where the vinyl part of the insulated clamp would be around the line is just detail painted.
krazyglu Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 This look's really cool, I like the green and agree the decal's just don't work. To answer your question you can certainly spray Tamiya clear yellow through a air brush as long as you thin it correctly. If you are using it for tinting the windows I recommend looking into Alclad's clear yellow...it is pre thinned and shoot's straight out of the bottle. Keep up the great work.
Devilsnake98 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 got some more progress on the fairlane. got the interior completely painted and assembled. made "aluminum" door panels with mount screws. flocked the floor, installed the seats and seat belts from detail master (this is the 1st set ive ever done). then installed the dash and that is a wrap on the interior.
Devilsnake98 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Also have been working on the engine and have it nearly done, all wired and plumbed. scratch built a crank trigger setup, used a set of coil packs from a DOHC mustang kit, made an electric water pump, throttle control valve on the blower. plumbed the injectors and added fittings to the oil filter relocate housing. also wired the coil packs, water pump, and crank trigger through a wire loom and will connect to a MSD box on the firewall. This is the most detailing ive ever done, its not 100% correct, but its good enough for me and im having fun trying to go this far. Edited January 2, 2014 by Devilsnake98
booboo60 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Looking sharp, love the stance, the color is going to be sweet, good luck, an the mock up is working great..
Devilsnake98 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Again been a while since an update, but I have been working on the fairlane, and almost have this one wrapped up. made a oil filter relocate setup and mounted it to the firewall, plumbed in lines from the engine to it. mounted the master cylinder and plumbed the brake lines (very hard to see). ran wires from the loom on the engine to the MSD unit on the firewall. installed all the windows, installed the interior and body onto the chassis for the last time and put on the taillight/ rear bumper assy. only have to make a fuel pump, plumb the fuel system from a front bumper mounted fuel tank to the engine, make a throttle cable and mount, then install the grille and front bumper. will be in under glass soon.
booboo60 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 really nice build, great detail, love the color, Is that Jade Green? looks super
Devilsnake98 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks, its testors one coat lacquer mystic emerald.
Devilsnake98 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 This should be the last update before this puppy is finally done. Made a throttle cable with firewall mount and installed it, made an Aeromotive style electric fuel pump, mount clamp, and plumbed it from the engine to the pump, also have the wires from it ran. lastly, is painted the fuel tank from the 41 willys kit, installed fittings, and made a mount for the front bumper. I will be installing this soon, along with the front grill, then will polish and it will be done. A few pics of progress. Thanks again for looking.
am73grand Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 How did I not see this before? This thing is awesome!! Really looking forward to seeing it finished!!!
Devilsnake98 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks for the kind words. The headers are from the 41 willys drag kit. No mods needed to make them fit except cutting out the inner fenders.
booboo60 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Really sweet build, I love how we build cars and ad items that unless someone tears them apart will never be seen! Lol, but we know you need it for the real car to run, lol that's derail and what makes our hobby/ sport lol. Fun.
Devilsnake98 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Finally can call this thing done! I'll give a teaser pic but will be posting all the others under glass. Thanks all for the tips and tricks I've learned and used on this project. This is the most detailing I've ever done. Thanks again for looking.
