That is gonna be sweet! Looking forward to it!!!!Will be watching along buddy!!!! ;)
 
This is what I did tonight this build is going along great I probably just jinxed myself by saying that anyway here are some photos of tonight's work. Built space frame and roll cage.Lots of textures to create heavy rust in some areas.Bulky weld seams.Primed.

After they drop little buckets of sunshine and you find yourself cruising the waste land beggars can't be choosers.

Car: 1967 Mini Cooper
Engine: 3.8L Jag in line six
Drive line and rear end:Jag
Weapons:TBA
Everything else:Scratch built.

If you like scratch building in plastic its plastic nirvana. ;D

Awesome!! My first car was a Mini, a "72" though, not a 67. Also had a 3.6L straight 6 Jag. Its like your running with my past and pulling it together in the future. Love the rust work and damage. Uncannily like my Mini also.

Good Luck!
 
I like what you did to the body could you share how did you obtain the dents? Did you thinned the plastic and use a hairdryer or did you use a different technique?

Can I suspect..... That, those 2 Long white rods are what's keeping the body and frame together???

Running inside the bottom frame tubings? If so? Great idea?

And I love the work you have done so far! It's gonna be a killer ride!

LOL
