sak Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 For next time..spend a little more time with the 1000 grit. The polish won't cut the orange peel, only remove the fine scratches left from the previous stage. Not that it looks bad. Just saying.
Belugawrx Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 Not that it looks bad. Just saying. Thnx Jeff,.. I did go back with 800 / 1000/ 2000 and it did shine more true Point taken and appreciated! Cheers
Dominik Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 oh. i hate that "polish-job"...i never to this with my models all over the body. Only if i have scraps or dirty under the paint, i make it...all my respect for that kind of finishwork!

Belugawrx Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 New job busy,... but Actually found some time to the bench Didnt know how I was going to fit this into....This Plan your build and build your plan !!!!( I remember seeing that somewhere!) Apparently there was none of that HERE Coming along Q,C,C.'s welcome Cheers
Dominik Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 huh..pretty good job on the body! Looks really really good! Just thought, "...what the heck he has done on the floor...?!?" You removed the muffler! O.k., work on.
Belugawrx Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 I made a promise .....to myself and Tom (Amnesty buiid) The governor came down to Leavenworth, at the last minute, and said, "Leave this one alone".... So I did some things to get 'er closer to finishing.. moved the rad out to facilitate the installation of the engine Made my own shifter (kit on the right) hurried interior ,...started Dash started Overall I might be able to finish this by 2020 at this rate.. Q,. C,. + C's welcome Cheers
Belugawrx Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 A little closer to completion.. Interior ..done Some kind of Nascar hodgepodge rear end,... done Badging and lights...done Stripped the bumpers and they are getting the sink marks filled, then chromed Mock up with glass Upholstery tack moonies I started this as an experiment, to see if I could cut up a car body and get it back together for a paint finish,...This kit is a mess, old molds, terrible finish on parts,..bad fit,..etc.,.. but with alot of work it is coming together ok IMHO Anywho it's almost off the bench (only took a year) Q,C + C's welcome Cheers
Belugawrx Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) K got it on rolling stock.. windows fit.. hood closes.. interior in... Bumpers drying... see ya "Under Glass".. Once I figure out the exhaust I really want to clean all the stalls out before I start the WR1!! Just want this one off the bench Edited February 11, 2015 by Belugawrx
DumpyDan Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Looking good, If you get this done this year...LOL...just kidding. You should bring it to the Sept show in Toronto, would love to see in person. Thanks great build.

Belugawrx Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 good thing I go thru some of these old posts of mine .... sometimes NOT Hence the NEW AVATAR....(crickets) someday
horsepower Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Pretty little '55, but just for the next time, replacing the dry sump pan with a stock type one, and moving the engine back a tad so the distributor is closer to the firewall, and then you can take the oil pump drive belt off and move the water pump drive belts etc. back closer to the front of the engine and then all you'd need to do is put the radiator on the front side of the core support without having to cut it up. And if that engine came from a Revell stock car kit it's 1/24 scale and one of the SB 2 engines from an AMT kit would be a little easier to put in, until I noticed the dry sump pan and drive I thought you were going with a big block, then I saw the typical small block exhaust layout too and figured out what you were doing, great job.
