So hello guys and girls, Ok it's been a while since the last update had some more importent things to do. (sorry to kept you waiting) This week i did a lot of work to the rod i finished the Chassis (only the drive shafts). Fit the body and busy working on the interior. well here some photo's.  Painted the wheels with Alclad chroom.  Put some Knock off spinners (like the real one had).  Mounted the engine and wheels (like i said the axels still has to be fit).  Here i,m preparing the louvres for the side intake, this are decals made out of resin ,stranges but worked fine.  And the result.  I saw the rod had a ghost at the back carpet, so i first draw it then filled it.  The interior i used vilt i don't know how you call it in english but it worked out great.  This is how far it is at the moment. Still some small details and placing the aluminium plate's and lights then it should be finished. I have a small suprise here for the Rod will show you when it's ready. See you Gr Dirk |

UPDATE, I got a lot off great comments there for i thank you all (it keeps me going). Ok the end is near (no there are no aliens coming  ) finished the rod YEAH IT IS READY. first the last photo,s  Made the decals  And here it's on the rod i used clear decal sheet's.  The carb linkage wash a hell of a job.  Put the backplate with the light's i made the light's from round styreen.  Put some fuellines and some small stuff and the engine is ready. So it only misses the licenseplate but that is still wet put it on tomorrow. Well just have to finish the surprise, than i can make the final end pictures (hope i can tomorrow) and than this project is ready. Happy building, Gr Dirk |
