So I'm getting back into building after a LONG time and the build I'm gonna start with is one that I started about 5 years ago (and put it down about 5 years ago. haha). I'm using this forum as a a running journal as sorts as I build this thing. so buckle up, sit tight, cause this is gonna be a VERY long, slow and uneventful ride! :roflmao: disclaimer: the only camera I have is on my IPhone so beware of shitty pics.

as you can see, this kit's been sitting for a WHILE

I started looking in the trunk and hated the stock trunk floor side note: it sucks that in most kits there's no rack molded in, just batteries bolted down to trunk floors?


so I grabbed scrap batteries and built a rack that I liked better.



just a mock up. I still got lots to do

one thing I don't see often on plastic is solenoids. all I need is to make 3 more and wire those suckers up! AND I'LL NEVER TELL MY SECRET ON HOW I MADE'EM!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:















:biggrin: JK! I'll always spill the beans! the reason I posted this topic is to go through a build with everyone and teach whoever wants to learn what they don't already know and hopefully learn a few things on the way! :biggrin: it's not tricky, just small. i use parts trees and thin styrene squares.

The rest of'em. they still need mounting brackets, final shaping and sanding and paint



the scale turned out pretty good for guessing! :dunno:

I think next on the agenda is 3 Adex. I need'em for the setup anyway. should be easier than the solenoids, but still not looking forward to making the lock wires on the screws :uh: (I gotta keep my warranty)!

excellent job bro.. I wish those batterys came with rack already casted to them..
i tried to use diode's for solenoid blocks but they did not come out so good...
your look sick.. but I am one person who wont be doing that..

that's way to much detail for this ole guy... :biggrin:
