I agree with you Zzzlad I'm really not into progress pictures neither.. Because it does ruin the surprise, but I figured out is that if you don't get back to the build years down the road at least people know what you have started and what your style is and if you come up with something unique and way different you own that and it's documented... On the world wide web...

I case anyone is wondering if any progress has been done on this build..A lot of progress has been done.. I just can't post pictures at this time due to my internet provider..they are having some problems with their network.. So any way post pictures soon.. But I have since changed the nose, long ago, but just now finding the pictures to post new radiator shell. Built a vacuum forming box and now waiting on my red clear plastic.. Oh! I've also re~done the bubble wind screen sockets way bigger and more proportion to the car.. I would have had the correct size bubbles by now, but you now how waiting on people turns out sometime..they get your hopes up about something you've talked about specifically and then disappear.. I get people are busy in their own life's, but don't volunteer to do something then if you know your busy.. Anyway no worries I'll get them done thyself.. Original plan anyway.. Thanks a hell of a whole Lotta... Lol good day gents

I know Newt's renderings of a Roach as a showrod is the placement of the antenna/feelers.............I tried that placement as to a real life roaches antennas are under its eyes, but it wasn't distinctive enough for me. As most of us think of a bug we think of the antennas directly above the eyes on its head to which isn't always true...so I felt the placement of my feelers was justified......thanks

the nose was modified awhile back and the antennas/feelers have been on there since the beginning of this build long ago....I was going to show the antennas at the finished build, but I thought id give a sneek peak.........

Well! You say that to say what? You don't believe what? Your path of building is different then mine.. I get what your trying to say. But you and I are 2 different people. So it isn't up to you what you believe my intentions are.you have everyone beat by a long shot at unfinished builds. I have already had this engine long ago also..your not the only one with information, insight or even an imagination to source parts. Your life or even laziness could play a part in your unfinished builds.. Let's stop trying to be a know it all and get some progress on some builds for once.. We all appreciate the the wealth of information you relay to us from the internet..that we all have access to. I've noticed all the years we've both been on here you have not once commented on any of my builds.. Hmmmm! Why is that until now.. Then you come along and try to one up me or anyone else for some reason. You spend more time one upping people then building lately..sure your a masterful builder and so are a lot of people on this site and beyond..am I bitter? Not in the slightest, am I jealous far from it.. Is there tension maybe a little.. We are are all model builders so there will always be some sort of competition no matter what world we live in...keep on building my friend.. 😉

Exactly! my point not boxed in...open! The black floor is the ground... The only platform is where the seats are sitting. Steering wheel forward is open..

Boban...as I build my roach coach I put a panel in mine ...to which I thought had it, but the more research I found that the area between the 2 front wheels is open as where as on mine I boxed it in still giving my chasis room and suspension....now if you go look at the close ups inside the Roach where the steering wheel is you can see the ground like your Flintstone mobile....So if I where to sit in the drivers seat and had a passenger whilst driving it...we could both see the ground.....its not boxed in....
