ive cut the slots in for the lights,
added more rivets and pull rings


all primed and ready for paint. just need a bracket for the bumper

all painted, lights are hot glued in, pull rings on.
alot more to do on this part. bumper, outlet box and mounting brackets need to be done

[semijoe]

you can see that i have it apart, its at the point where i dont want to go to far ahead untill i get the top chassis rails painted .after this part the chassis will be complete and i dont have to go back to it.
this is also where all of the rear wiring is done. i also notice the fenders and rear lower section rubbed. so i had to bring each fender out 1mm.


top rails are painted and mounted

a really nice guy suggested to make the tranny look like an engine. he sent pictures and info
the only thing i couldnt really do is get a true scale of what i need.also with all the accessories on the engine i coulnt really get a clear view.
so i went with what i can see and guest work. a thanks to the guys for the info and pictures. hopefully everybody like what i did
i had another set of tranny covers. added some heads, valve covers, screws,intake mantifold and some paint.
theres a front plate that goes on the front of the engine. if i can get picture of this area, i can probably come up with something

[semijoe]

i started on the lower box
ive added center light with screws(non-working). few more screws over the doors
i made a prototype door with handles like the 1:1 ,i will paint them silver. still alittle mor detail on them


thanks for the push from a fellow member(gozone) :) , i made the exterior lamps

[semijoe]

this box is done. :D


ive put the screws on the rear (not rivets). theres a plate where the 500 stay back decals goes.
also my turbo charger came in and fits perfect.
the lights are going to look awesome on this.
