Looks like it's ready to rumble.

hmy: Now datz some detail on that engine!! :drinks Lookin' good so far

 

[Paulw]

I have the wheels on after shooting some of the suspension parts out into the cosmos. Thinking I had everything in the proper order and after about an hour fiddling around with the tie rod I found out that the top wont fit, I have no idea why.

 

[Swordsman]

Looking very good Paul Your doing a top notch Job ...

 

[moon puppy]

Looks like the front wheels are kinda floating, is there any movement in the suspension?

 

[Paulw]

the only movement is the steering but then it really need a front end alignment. The front tires splay out like a drunk rooster and the top just doesn't want to fit well. I will be done with it soon. No decals though because the ones I have are junk on paper.

 

[Swordsman]

When You get that one done Paul, you could sneek the 1/8 Lamborghini made by Poacher by the misses, I think I have one in stock I could get you a fair discount ...

Not unless you come off about $500.00 :gogo

 

[Swordsman]

Well that thing is so kewl I don't think I could ... Let's see MSRP is about $850 ... That would be one heck of a discount ... :yipee

 

[Paulw]

I checked every thing under the top cover and still I can not get it to set flush. The chrome plated wings were not as bad as anything plated by Revell or Monogram but I still don't like chrome plated parts. The steerable front end allows for a bunch of slop and the decals are not usable. b ut I dont know if I will go on any further with this one. :angry:


I do have my JPS Lotus though... :hmmm

 

[moon puppy]

Feelyour pain Paul. I remember a F40 kit a long time ago that caused me major headache. Turned out there was a support brace that the body was suppose to fit into that was like 2mm aft of where it should have been. Think I put a hammer to it to make it fit....

 

[Swordsman]

It doesn't look all that bad Paul ... The chrome isn't as bad as some of the older kits .... I think you did a fine job on her ... Looks good ... How bout a motor shot ???

 

[sharkman]

Just looking at this one Paul. Looks good so far. Could the top be warped a bit? You could try a little warm water treatment to see if that helps the fit better
