They showed up for me as well Tim.
This thing looks spot on Marty great job. If I might give ya a little advice. The hinges are vinyl and the ca glue will not hold to them. Get some locktite two part epoxy for mounting the hinges. ~Mike~ |

Wow. It's a sickness, and you've got it! The eye for detail and relentless pursuit of realism. Nice work.

Hey Dave, I know I whittled it down to nothing but, don't worry this thing is really strong. I drilled and pinned each butted glue joint, and reinforced w/ styrene behind it On the hinges just the round cylinder that the pin goes through will show, just like the real 55 Petes. The mounting part of the hinges will be covered w. .020 styrene sheet. Thanks Nathan, I'm really trying to capture the look. Btw, I had a accident with the roof last night. Too much stress I guess where I cut the cab down so much. Gonna half to replace the roof panels w/ 1 solid piece. Luckily it can be fixed and no damage was done to the cab. Now just need to get another Hauler cab doner and cut the roof out. Sometimes trying to get something too accurate will come back to haunt you in the end. >Marty< |

Excellent detail In the cab, can't wait to see the hood build up and the finished product. Really liked the movie, can't remember how many times I've seen it.

Re: 55 Pete 281 DUEL W.I.P.
Man I wanted to build one of these for a long time, if/when I do I hope it works out as nice as yours has so far! Like the others have said, I never noticed the tag axle before, Ill have to watch it again! Any plans on making the car to go with it ( A tempest I beleive?), that would be great to video!
