Dave42 Posted February 3, 2014 Share 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!

booboo60 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Very nice, did u use solder for the headers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave42 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted February 6, 2014 Share 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.
