JTalmage Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Guys I'm dropping out unfortunately. I was promised the parts last week and I still haven't received them so I've given up. I'll never deal with this particular member again. General Mayhem is out of the running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenrat Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Good work folks. I've finally done something. Body is ready for paint. Here's a mock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Good work folks. I've finally done something. Body is ready for paint. Here's a mock up. Hey, look who showed up for the dance! I like it already Zen. I've always hated those wheels but I think you found right project to put them on, they're perfect. Looking for more.

zenrat Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) you know me. Do nothing all year and then in the last month panic. Those wheels are growing on me (like a fungal infection...). On the Firebird they are nasty but they might work on a Skyhawk. I need to look into some larger rear tyres though. i had to do more to the body on this than I expected. I've built in the complete Firebird engine bay and scratchbuilt lips around the tailgate. I've stretched the interior and have started on the engine having gathered all the tuning parts I need - i've got the twin blower set up from the Revell Pro Street 'vette which will fit nicely onto the Poncho donk and should be low profile enough to avoid having to cut the bonnet. Paint will be pearl white with red racing stripes and a red interior. I'm also feeling the urge to knock up some big knarly 70's style side pipes. No roll cage though. Don't know why so many entrants are bothering. I'm not planning to roll it... Edited October 27, 2014 by zenrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intmd8r Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Good work folks. I've finally done something. Body is ready for paint. Here's a mock up. I Like it. The wheels seem to work well with the body lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenrat Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 She'll be right. After all, I got a whole month left. All the hard work is done - the scratch building & modifying to fit the Firebird chassis & interior tub. Now I just got to paint it all. Body got white pearl on it today so i'm moving along.

TFchronos Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) you know me. Do nothing all year and then in the last month panic. I'm using the same playbook I think lol. Looks great by the way, paint sounds good. Here's a couple of photos for my two main entries. The Dart's colors are on awaiting decals and round one of body work for the Formula.

Lunajammer Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Jonathan you scurvy dog, those are my Torino colors, only in reverse. Looks pretty good, so I'll have to step mine up. It's been looking like I won't make it to the starting line but I'm not cashing out yet. I got some quality time this week to prime and spot glaze the Torino, an evening of sanding and another evening of painting small parts. Last night I assembled the engine and drudged through my least favorite modeling task of stringing finicky wires. With it done though, it's a nice feeling of accomplishment. Considering the age of the kit, the engine fills out nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Here's a little update to the Charger Daytona. I shot some Primer on the body today. It looks pretty good for now, but of course I can't say it for sure until it's fully dried. Tomorrow I will have to see how it looks and if it's good, after a couple of days I will shoot some orange on it. I hope I don't have to do more bodywork with it as the deadline is gettin' closer and closer every day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTalmage Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I wish I had time to build something to take the General Mayhem's place. I don't even have time to think let alone build anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 A while back I chose to make a taillight out of a semi truck exhaust pipe. I finally got around to cutting it up and airbrushing it tonight. This is what it looks like after paint. It fits pretty good too. Can't wait to get color on the Torino body and see how this looks inset into the bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFchronos Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Clever idea Mike, looks great. Paint sounds good too, can't wait to see it. I'm almost at the same point with my Formula Niko, I think I got the body right but wont know until priming and sanding to find out. With 26 days to go a lot of stuff needs to go right for it to make it to the line. Very nice paint Fred, the color and strips look beautiful on the car.

TimJ Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Progress has been slow on the Mustang but I've got the interior finished so I should make it to the start line this year. I tried embossing powder for the carpet and was pleased with the result. I should have another update soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
