The chassis was used last year to build a Nascar Tradesman Truck, so scratch-built a chassis, painted the wheels and body. Fitted a painfull rear window and later a front that both seemed far too big!
As no decals for no. 46 found in UK, so bought a ‘sticker set’ from a UK screen printer,
Pat;
You gotta stop this, all these bright colors is blinding these old eyes. LOL! Gonna be another nice one, Stickers or Not!
Cheers Tanker-Builder. The bright colours wake people up! OR I need to put a warning on my builds!
Hey Pat! I can see it now,“Warning,: " Warning” Pat W, Color overwhelmness" LOL.LOL. They just look so good. I thought when I did the “Ole number 3” that it was kinda Blah!
Bit more done. A bit ropy around the windscreen, after continued tries to reduce it’s size to get it to fit.
Hi PatW!
What are you doing to downsize the windscreen, or Were you doing? I had the problem with the Lumina that I did some years back for a client, Don’t remember the car, But I think it had cowboy boots on it somewhere! I used the edge of an Exacto-Blade sideways and a gentle but firm scraping motion. It finally worked too.
Well even after scraping all of the paint off in the windscreen recess it was too big to fit. I’d already broken the rear screen trying to bend it to fit! But it’s OK now. So today is to sit in front of the PC to put on the ‘Stickers’ as I’ve no other access to a printed version of decal/sticker placing! Then finish the chassis area by building a roll-cage.
Firstly the body with the very small ‘stickers’. The the body test fit prior to finishing the chassis.
Looks good Pat. Any pics of what you did for the chassis-you mentioned that you used the kit parts earlier and fabricated a new one for this build.
Love the creativity and thinking outside the box.
The chassis is just a sheet of thick evergreen plastic, cut out to allow the wheels, square rod axles with the wheels attached, wheel tubs of thin plastic. To fit inside the body correctly two square section rods along the inside of the body to support the ‘chassis floorpan’. Very basic!
Nearly there!
“Very basic” but very effective-will file this one away for use with left over parts.
Thanks for the post.
