Hey, guys....I't's the details that separate a really nice car from a great one.
Don't forget the little extras....dipsticks (kinda hard to check the oil without one. Got tunes in your car? Speakers? Tool box for those unscheduled roadside stops? How about that '50s hot
rod....does it have a fox tail hangin' off the antenna? I've spent untold hours detailing engines only to realize the darned thing had no ignition switch. No over flow tube or catch can on the radiator.......etc. etc. etc. I work on
1:1
rods as part of my day job....but take a break from what you are building and go take a good hard look at what you're driving daily. You'll be amazed how much stuff is overlooked on the RM 1/8th Deuce, for example....did you notice it's got no fan, electric or otherwise? No fuel pump, No battery.......I think you get the idea. Most of the missing details are fairly easy to
scratch build
if you take the time. Not everyone has the experience to do a mile deep ghosted flame paint job, but for what it's worth, a well detailed primered car is a winner in my book.
