afx Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Just a small update,I finally got the fuel lines done,i added a junction block to tie it all together. I also added a 4 point harness,1 down 1 to go.These are super fiddly All comments or suggestions good or bad are welcome. Haven't tried the photo etch seat belt sets yet. Are they harder to work with than the tape/paper/ribbon variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJJeff Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Excellent workmanship! The finish on those valve covers is outstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 bad55 stan Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Real nice touch on the tinted glass Stan... Thanks Carl,That tamiya smoke works good. Really nice work! That chassis is a piece of art. Same thing with the engine with all of those details. I've rarely seen a Ford Capri built like this, but I must say that it looks very cool. I can't wait to see more pictures. Thanks Niko,I appreciate your kind words,I'll post more soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 bad55 stan Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Haven't tried the photo etch seat belt sets yet. Are they harder to work with than the tape/paper/ribbon variety? They are a little tricky.What i did on the second set was to feed the belt through the buckles before i cut them off.They are a cool set just have to take your time.

1 bad55 stan Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I had an issue with the frame breaking away from the fire wall,So i left it for a few days and done some work on a corolla (sorry about that)Any ways i removed the headers,radiator and engine,trying not to course any more damage. I made up some simple blocks with a hole in them and glued them to the fire wall,so far so good.I have my fingers crossed this will fix it... Next i'll touch up the paint,This build has been fighting me all the way.But i know who is gonna win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakshow12 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Looks awesome Stan. Could I suggest an air dam or spoiler of some sort on the front valence to hide the frame rails? I'm thinking a 69 mach 1/ boss 302 piece may have the right shape and look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking a 69 mach 1/ boss 302 piece may have the right shape and look Thanks Fred,Funny you say that i have been thinking how i need to tidy that part of this build.If i remember back in the day some of these cars had lower spoilers.I don't have 1 but it carn't bee that hard to fab 1 up...Your input is very much appreciated...

1 bad55 stan Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Good idea with the blocks on the firewall........I may try that myself. It adds a bit of strength to the weakest part of the frame.And thanks for your advise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtcapri Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 looking good Stan mine keeps breaking on the chassis rails because there is a cut out for a mid engine plate, surely it will stay together now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragfreak Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 It's looking great Stan, I agree that some type of front spoiler/air dam would look good on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 bad55 stan Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) I got a little more done,Its not a lot but is a bit of a win for me.The "blocks" i made seem to be working.Fingers crossed!I also made up a spoiler for the front,This was my third attempt but i'm fairly happy with it.A big thank you to Fred(Freakshow 12) for your suggestion i think it has tidied up that front end a lot. Now i'm thinking i might add a rear wing/spoiler to the trunk...Thanks guys for your input.. Edited August 5, 2014 by 1 bad55 stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
