Edward, looks like you're off to a fantastic start. I think I'm going to follow this project.

Couple questions if ya don't mind:

1) What specific paint did you use on the engine?

2) Where did you get the alternator bracket?

Hope to see more pics soon!

lol thanks guys, beans are to healthy to stop eating them

the alternator bracket i just cut out from some brass sheet.

color on the engine is Nissan Orange Mist from a duplicolor spray can, i thought it was a pretty close match to some internet photos

Real NICE Edward!! color looks pretty darn close to the pic. Now a little ditty from my childhood, "pinto beans good for your heart, the more you eat the more you fart, the more you fart the better you feel, so eat pinto beans at every meal" It just felt appropriate, I couldn't resist!

[Fart Factory]

lol! thanks guys

made some progress today with the frame. got it all assembled and painted.

thanks for lookin!

[slusher]

Chassis looks great. Nice progress and your doing some great work on your project...

[Fart Factory]

thank you!

I managed to finish the chassis. I painted the floor pan in body color to add some life to the underside.

will start on the interior parts next.

[GMCMAN52]

Really nice. I like it... What did you use to make the underside look this good

Amazing detail! Right down to the heat colorization on the mufflers! Very cool!!

[cobraman]

This is coming along very nicely.

[Fart Factory]

Really nice. I like it... What did you use to make the underside look this good

thanks

I just do some dry brushing with a grey color.. this kit has really nice parts but the detail would be lost in the black paint if you don't highlight the edges. also a few washes of black on the floor pan

if you want to know anything in specific just ask!

thanks for lookin

Looking good.

[Monty]

Does this kit come with poseable steering or did you do some modifications?

[slusher]

Looking great so far...

[Fart Factory]

For the steering, I just didn't glue the spindle to the control arms it fits snug in between and is then moveable

[1 bad55 stan]

Fantastic,i really like this build,

[Belugawrx]

Love the patina on that chassis!!

Anymore Beans n' beers?

The redlines look awesome!

Beauty rims......

I could go on.....

Cheers

[MsDano85gt]

Does this kit come with poseable steering or did you do some modifications?

I can't see the pictures says link has been moved or pic deleted but if the kit is the one i'm thinking by amt yes its very nice i have one still sealed i can't wait to get to!! the steering is poseable thats the way it is box stock if memory serves me right
