  1. CC I will look in to it! why not? Have a nice weekend.
  2. As I mentioned, I was going to work in the lighting and here is my progress: one light is on (right) the other is off. these are the first units, the main ones are in the process and as well as the ones in the fender. This last ones (the fender ones) are much more complicated since I need to figure out how I will sort out the wiring to provide power to them, ( I think I do have a potencial idea) I use 5mm diameter leds, being my main stream for lighting. I will keep you posted. Have a great weekend to all!
  3. No dought your passion is there!! You do not need to be chewed to do it! Congrarulations ones more!
  4. How did you got the expertice to build such parts like the ones you describe in the thread? You do CNC machinery, as well as bending tubing among other thins.
  5. CC, it looks that your way of living is in machinery, due to the way you manage to solve the construccion of some of the parts, like the exhaust, levers, etc. How did you got such of a background?
  6. CC I had just started to read the thread and I was shock with the impresive capabilities you do have for the construccion of this model, You have demostrated to have tremendous skils and hand capabilities to do what you had demostrated to build with such detail and originality. My full respect for you! Even you mention in the thread you say that you are learning (with no dought) but you are perfecty qualified as a MASTER with what you have show to all of us. Hat's off too, you deserve it. Keep updating us with the great work you are doing. My best regards!
  7. Codger, you are correct, modifying a parcially build is not easy. You have a point, regarding the radiator, I will asure it is perpendicular and for sure adding material to the hood will be needed, I will add material in the front and assure it matches in place with a reasonable gap. I f you see the hood in the close area to the radiator is the gap I need to fill as well as the bottom part with the rail, but I think I will be able to manage it. The fender, is the wan not looking good! the other side I think is better in finishing. On the other hand I can tell you that the LC from Molotow it requires a long time for drying, after a week I was able to live fingerprints but yesterday (about 4 weeks) the story is different. I'm confident that some upgrades will be made and be good for the model.
  8. In the mean time I´ve done some additional work to the RR, the door windows frame, it was a challenge, since the vehicle is built and is not easy. The rear door has it now, working in the rest of the doors, I hope I will have them by the end of the week. Also I did start to adjust the hood, many might say why I was doing this the wrong way, unfortunatly the conditions of the vehicle are in such manner that I see very difficult to dis assembly to do this I have to run some risk and hope I will end up in a good shape. This is what I done to the hood, the back side is adjusted, now I will have to work in the front adjusment. Isn't going to be easy! After the adjustment is done I will paint the hood with LC from Molotow as the fenders are. Good day to all.
  9. Hi to all. Thinking I will explore to work in the lighting with LED's and I will look in to the Chrismas Trees light series, I've seen small led bulbs and different colors, white, red, green,yellow can be use, of course will require to know how can I do the electrical arrengement and/or defining the wiring diagram initially. As I said the wiring will go from the vehicle down to the case base where I can do wiring in the base and have switches for front, stop, direccional, fog lamps etc. so will be very interesting how can I will be able to work out. Give me some time and see what I can come with, and I will update my outcome. Have a nice week.
  10. You are correct, the issue this time (unfortunatly) was that I came late to join part of this forum, but I will try to work out thomething to improve my car. Thanks
  11. Thanks Codger, never the less, it is very important to have great refferences where we can learn from, and any recomendations are very well welcome at any time. To the way my car is, I might not do to much to the body itself I think I can work out the lights, have some detail around but not to much, I think it is too late to think on rebuilding the vehcile, even taking apart many things can be damaged and will have a severe risk. From what I have seen I think I will slow down a little, look around all the information I got and then, define a plan and then come back to finish the vehicle, in the mean time I can do other things around the vehicle, like defining the case for it, it will made out of christal clear and wood and of course lighting will be the issue, for the case and providing the power to light the vehicle. Any project like this will require more thinking than the one I thought before, but looking to the information I have seen came to me too late and I will have to work it out. Regards.
  12. You are correct, it is an Enzo! my appologies. Have a nice weekend.
  13. Thanks, but I think there was nice at the end because I polished after sanded. Regards.
  14. Wow! The issue with that way of working lights is that he will be the ONLY ONE to make it work! Very interesting There is allways 1000 ways to do the same. Mine, may not be the best! Learning from others can help you think out of the box and have fresh ideas!
  15. For the wiring I'm planning to wire it up down through the case base so after it is in the christal box can be turned on from the base and not to play around with the covering. But that is the plan, I´m thinking and looking for alternatives. Having this conversations realy motivates to continue thinking and bringing up new and good ideas.
  16. These photos are incedible! For the windows frame, I like it very much, I can see that I can work out some to replace the 3/32 square tubing, but something will come to my mind and I might probably find another way of doing it. You mention that the windows frames were chromed but I can use liquid chrome for it or use chrome covering from 3M. The amount of detail and hand work done! also I´m impress with the weathering in the engine, it looks real, electrical connectors, hose clamps. Also I do have to work out the lighting, did you had specific lighting in the Sedaca like David's car? GREAT INFORMATION! Thanks for sharing. Great day!
  17. Hi to all, even I'm working in some projects I would like to share with you some of my previously build models, today I will present you a model build many years ago and I like it very much. This is it This model was stock build and had very litle details. Unfurtunatly I have learn by my self and in many cases I did them stock. More detail of my model. Love to see photos, thats why I'm sharing many of them, hope you like them! I like the photos, Have a great day!!
  18. Do not get me wrong, I mean boaring is because with the lack of pictures there is missing a lot of things, remember a picture is worth more than 1000 words! My appologies by using the boring in your thread, and I did not want to give you hard time, I think that you have done a GREAT work doing the thread along you go with your Sedaca. If you contac David and if he wants to share the information I will really appreciate. Yes it is obvious that must of the work was custom made, yes there is a great amount of details in his car. As I mentioned I`m iterested in the lighting of his car, I want to do something like that. Also I have seen that the windows frames are expectacular, so I'm giving a thought on them too. Windshield work is late for the way it is my model, but something else might come to my mind and I will think to see if I can work some other opportunities for my model. Thanks again and my appologies , never was my intention to have demerited your work, on the contrary it is very valuable for those of us who have the opportunity to read it and learn from it. Have a great friday!
  19. Taking some time to see the detail of David Cox car, there is A LOT of details like the windshield, the side drawers, window handles, window frames, what else? Is there a way I can get detail on David´s project, it sounds greate chalenge to me!! Great work David!!! hat's off!
  20. Thanks! you clariy me my confusion, Yes yours it the Sedaca! Regarding your friend Cox ( by the way I had a friend name Francis Cox use to work for GM in America), what I understand is that he had painted the wheel covers in such a manner that he can choose and select to have a different aperance! On the other hand I see that has lighting all over the vheicle, will you be able to share some of that information, I think I can work it out, I thought to use leds to makin it work that way, that is something I think will add value to my project. Thanks again for your help and comments. pd I think this kind of discussions makes the hobby much more pleseant, don't you think? Regards.
  21. Codger, I being reading the thread (boring with no photos) and I have not being able to find detail of the painting job on the RR, without photos it is very difficult and thedious to read all, please would you sumirize the painting process in the chrome specially, did you used liquid chrome? interested to hear your process. Also I see you had paint fully the wheel covers, I have seen the original and it has a body color strap in the covers, was that the intention. Regards
  22. You are correct, but I think that Mustang will allways be a MUSTANG!! have a nice day!
  23. Codger, I do have plans to finish the RR and also work out all the other projects that were left behind many years a go! May plans will be. first to run in parallel the RR and the Duesenberg, because this last one I think will be a great Chrismas present for my father!! don´t you think?, second phase, will continue working in the projects open and I will finish all of them sooner or later. Regards
  24. Pete, the toy car is a Schucco from Germany, it is a vintage toy! I like it very much. The metal cars on the other thread are from America, do not know if there are any manufactured in Europe. I will keep posting my progress on them. Regards.
