Hot Rod Roadster

Looks great should be a cool build

Nice choice John, anxious to see how this goes for you, been watching these on eBay to add to the plastic stables

I'd say the quality is real good, has some normal plastic warp except for the front fenders but nothing that can't be corrected, we'll see what the fit issues are thou  smiley-greet016 

This looks like a cool one, can't wait to see more!!! popcorn-and-drink-smiley-emoticon

Your off to a great start there mate, bugger about the body problems.

Sure hope things get "straightened out" for ya - engine looking good!

Looks good John,thats one of my favorite colors.

Hi gang, well I got the engine done finally







when I get the engine installed and the body on then I'll put a fuel block on the firewall and hook up the fuel lines.

This is not an easy kit, lots of fit issues and I almost threw it a couple of times but I took a break and started on it again.

The rear end which is a B....ear to put in, you have to put the shocks on first and then the housing and try to get it lined up while the glue is drying. When I got it where I wanted it I put some super glue on the joints for strength



here is what she looks like with the rear wheel on



Been fighting with the front end to get it straight and with the wheels straight up and down. Opened the lower arm hole to make it adjustable with out a lot of sanding. The font end is make to be moveable but not any more. here is a pict. of the backing plate with the hole opened for the lower arm



That's all for now, going to get the front end done and put her up on all four's and up date soon smiley-greet016

Oh no bud, that paint was wicked too, hope it gets all ironed out!

You were not kidding it cracked! WOW  forehead-slap-smiley-emoticon
But for sure i think you are right, for it to be that straight - must have been something in the plastic forming. No fenders would be cool though - if you need to go that way

This is looking real good John. Killer engine work.

Thanks for all the nice comments CC & Big D, I need all the support on this one I can get high-five-smiley-emoticon

Got the body all ready last night for first primer, fired up the AB this morning and primed it, let it dry, checked it over and impatient-smiley-emoticon and found another crack on the front part of the fender



it is just on the fender and looks like an easy fix, at least I don't have to strip it again.

While I had the AB out I painted the seats and dash. Here are a couple of picts. of the rear rumble seat top and the rumble seat cover





What do you guys think about the color combo ??
Does the int green need to be a little darker or what ??
The side panels are white and the dash face is going to be wood grain I hope.
Going to fix the new crack and primer that section and see what happens next, I want to get this $*%@ painted by next week end, I getting tired of working on this RED HEADED STEP CHILD smiley-greet016

I think the color combo is PERFECT mate .. Those 2 greens work well together.  smileyCA9464IN_zpsd9ee499f
