lanesteele240 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) This is the 2nd livery for this car. The first one i built was so cool i had to get this one. Im doing alot more to this one. Crazy modler pe set. Open doors wired interior. I hope i dont re-re-re-burn out and quit before i get this one fin. Here we go Here is the first car and decals for the second car. Here is the front skid plate covered in carbon. Rear skid. Touch up is needed. I got a little fustrated and had to walk away from this stage Door busted open. I made the door jams with multi-put 2 part epoxy All i did was put some petroleum jelly on the parts i did not want the pox to stick to. Dry fit the interior tub and chasis to the body and push the pox into the door jam and shaped it to what i wanted. When cured, the body poped right off the pox area and i had door jams More shaping with putty is needed to finish. Edited March 30, 2014 by lanesteele240
lanesteele240 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 For some reason, the fine folks at photo bucket decided to up grade an app that worked 100% great to one that is trash. Im struggling to get the correct link to the pic im trying to use. O.o ill try to edit them to get it right Doors next I taped the door back in place Then i added flat stock to the back of the door inner Then i snipped off the flat stock till it fit correct and glued it in place Here i did the same with the pox to the door. Remember you can smooth multi-put with a damp finger. Also any pox that got on the door in a undesired place can be easily washed off with a water damp towel. It is way hard tomsand that stuff off after it cures. A wet handle of a brush can also be used to smooth out the epox

lanesteele240 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Roll cage I added the white roll bars Edited March 1, 2014 by lanesteele240
blackandwhite Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Was the cf supplied in the kit? Was it painted or a decal
Nacho Z Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Keep up the good work Gary. It is coming along very nicely.
lanesteele240 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 I cut the muffler off so i could do a better job of painting it Then i figured i could add a gearbox from a kit i messed up 15 years ago I had to nawl off a bunch of plastic to get it close enough to kinda fit This is what im shooting for
lanesteele240 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Seat with carbon back and i put embossing powder on the seat cover I got these awesome eduard pe printed seat belts to go in the car
lanesteele240 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks for all the comments. Im only letting my good friens here know that the carbon is from ka models. It is the A sheet. I prefer the b sheet. Both are extreamly hard to get. The internet is currently out of stock. Here is the b sheet on the 1st series of the car. It has a coat or two of gloss on it
lanesteele240 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I added a shifter that i robbed from another kit I added some string to make a set plug wires and glued it down with future Here is the engine bay. With a diffrent tranny that better matched the one on the car Another shot I may cut the rear hatch out so all the detail will show. There is a decal that goes on the back glass that will cover mutch of the bay I spent 1 hour putting carbon on the the vent thing but now it wont be used Edited March 6, 2014 by lanesteele240
lanesteele240 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Here is the edward printed seatbelts They were a hoot to put together If you ever get a set of these, put the belt part on the buckle part and then cut the buckle off the spure I cut the rear hatch off and had one of those, what have i got myself into moments.
DrKerry Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Love the belts, and don't worry about the "what have I gotten myself into" moment. Trust me I've had plenty of them!!!!! They'll pass over pretty easily!!!
lanesteele240 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Dashboard and comtrols It is starting to take shape This is how i figured best to add the belts to the metal parts. Edited March 8, 2014 by lanesteele240
aw106 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Very nice and detailed build you have here. I look forward to seeing the finished version. Also nice trick with the epoxy putty, I may have to try that one myself.
Kennyboy Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Still watching Gary! Loving every post of it! Dont worry about the rear hatch......it'll just come to you in an Aha moment!
lanesteele240 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Sorry for the break but i had to spend some time with the wife I fixed The hatch with some flat stock I cut out the hood ducks?(? that is as close as i can get to a duck. ) I added the vent parts and It looked good till i sprayed some primer on it. I knew the ca filler would need some more attention though Thanks for looking Untill later Edited March 12, 2014 by lanesteele240
lanesteele240 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Stoppers. I just glued the outside to the rotor. I have been down the full pe rotor road. It leads to wheels popping off out of thin air and u dont even ser it if you put the wheels on
