Dave42 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, Had a blast with this one. Tried a bit of stuff. Made seat belts out of a Cigar rapper, scratched the headers, fuel block, line /rail around the stacks, after market stacks, flocked, different wheels, plug wires and boots, some PE handles and cranks inside...I think that's a bout it. Im not very good at WIP's but there are build pics on my Fotki page if interested. Hope you like it, thanks for looking!

Dave42 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Thank you both very much! Alan, I cut the kit headers off of the flange, puts some pieces of rod in it and slipped Aluminum tubing over the rods. Not sure if that was the best way to go, but thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks again for checking out my stuff. Dave Edited February 4, 2014 by Dave42
Burnout Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Great looking gasser! Did you start from the Revell kit?
Dave42 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks guys, I appreciate it! Ken, yes sir, Revell/Model King kit. Thanks again. Dave

PappyD340 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Extremely SHARP gasser there Dave, me like!!
gasser59 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 For a fiddley kit, you sure did a great job. One of the best Austin's I've seen. Nicely done.
booboo60 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Very nice, I thought the headers looked custom, came out very nice, love the old gassers..

geetee66 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Awesome work! Killer paint and I love the lime green seat inserts! I'm going back for another look..... Yeah. It still rules!
Dave42 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 Thank you very much everyone. I am stoked that you like this build and appreciate all of your compliments! Makes a guy feel good.
W-409 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Nice build with great detail! I have the same kit, and I know it needs pretty much cleanup, filling ejector pin marks etc. You did a great job with this one. Nice color choice, too.
