Re: Jeepers!

Guido, I am stoked!!! That free floating thingy is an alternator. In "real Life" there would be a bracket holding it in place. I will attach a picture of one of my engines with an aftermarket aluminum alternator and photo etch bracket. You probably can scratch build a bracket. Looking forward to the updates!

Re: Jeepers!

Thanks, man! That does help.
It won't be all too difficult to scratch-build a bracket.
Cheers!

Re: Jeepers!

Thanks, man!
I planning on an olive-drab variation. Not quite the original OD of the original, but similar enough to identify it as OD.
I'll still have to make a final decision, though. I haven't even fully dismissed a ratty look either.
Let's see...

Cheers,
Guido
 
Re: Jeepers!

I like it, Guido. Some great scale engineering going on there. It's a really cool project. I look forward to updates.
 
Re: Jeepers!

Looking great Guido! I can tell you are having a lot of fun. Love that Beast engine and the frame looks great so far as well. Go Guido Go!!! ;D
 
Re: Jeepers!

Thank you guys!
This project is a lot of fun indeed. Been trying to modify the radiator to fit the distinctive grill of the jeep last. Didn't have a full breakthrough, but am getting there. Fiddly but fun!

Cheers,
Guido

Gentlemen-
It's not going as quickly as I hoped for, but there's something happening still.
I hope you like the progress so far.
Questions are welcome as usual!

Re: Jeepers!

Gentlemen-

Here's the 4th installment of the Jeepers! project.
The scratch built front end is basically done and a complete mock up is sitting on the bench.

Now it's on to the small stuff and painting.
Thanks for watching and commenting.

Cheers!
 
Re: Jeepers!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

That looks really cool. I love the details in the front end. Those brake discs are sweeeet.
 
Re: Jeepers!

Hello, fellow Addicts!

This has been online for a bit.
Sorry for the delay, but I was feeling so sure I had posted it here already.
I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Cheers,
Guido

Gentlemen,

I was finally able to put a lid on the project.
It was a lot of fun (not counting 4x stripping the body!)!
This was definitely not the last car I built.

Thank you CT! Especillay for providing me with the momentum to try it.
I have bought 2 more jeep kits. I had so many ideas for other conversions and gadgets ...

I hope you are doing fine and that we will see a new project on you bench some time soon.

Guido
