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

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:
I wish I knew how to cast :uh: as is I got to build/carve everything by hand. if anyone who does resin casting wants any FREE one-offs for a mold, let me know. I GOT NO PROBLEM GIVING MY SHIT OUT :biggrin:

I decided to use some scrap 14ga. just split it open, splay out the wires and paint any color you want. twist a few together to make thicker cables/wires.



stick a pin into your table and.............

HA! IT TOOK ME TWO DAYS TO DO SOLENOIDS!!! at this rate JUST the trunk should be done.....in about a month! haha. I still got to build the Adex's, find the right diameter clear tube for the whammy tank (not to mention seal it so it holds water), wire and plumb the system....then I have to make removable upholstery panels that will cover up most the work! HAHA!

thanks for all feedback though! :biggrin:

hell man, it's been 3 years. what's another couple of months?

u might use some clear hair gel for the water.. it's got bubbles & shouldn't seep out.

they also make this diorama water you can use.

the removable panels are gonna be dope :cool:

I was diggin through all the topics on here, checking all the builds and came across a 63? with an open gas door. fucking awesome! I got dragged away from the computer before I could write down the name, but it still struck me. I couldn't help it! I just had to try! :biggrin:



just got to figure out a hinge/spring assembly.


just used styrene to make a recessed box. had to sand own the back of the plate area to make it level.

just finished a batch of "noids" to be sent off to the Rev Hearst in the morning for casting! to be honest, after all the crazy talent I see on this site, it blows me away that you guys like my shit! being a perfectionist makes it hard to see the obvious...if that makes any sense to anyone.





on a serious note, thanks again to everyone for all the feedback. this site has become as important a part of my life to me as my "mancave" HAHA!
