[Chiefpettyofficer]

Great Idea.
I will stay tuned 8)

 

[dogfish7]

Sounds pretty cool. I'll watch also.

 

[hooterville75]

Ill be tuned in at some point in time Scott. Sounds whicked man ha ha.

 

[Junkie]

Coolness.

Thing is you can watch a bit here and there...or the entire time..lol. I'll be doing progress updates every so often.

But for the prizes (Tshirts, stickers, a mag or two) you have to 'be there' when the draw is made. Should be interesting. Just hope my connection holds up.

Looking forward to it, I'm as you know on holiday at the parents house and brought the in-laws with us so having to transalate and play tourguide... but really hoping to tune in as much as I can!

Just keep the family off the internet so we can see great video with no drops hehehe

 

[Carsenault]

Wow, Ambitious are we! Best of luck Scott. I have to be at work for 5:30 am ( O'dark thirty) Thursday morning but will check out your progress when I get home sometime in the afternoon.

Have I worked this out correctly that it'll be in abotu 4 hours? I'm on GMT over here, which seems to be 4 hours ahead of you?

 

[Chiefpettyofficer]

Maybe I should show solidarity and build a Model, too. That would be funny. Ok, I dont have a Cam, but with some photos. A mass marathon build

 

[Junkie]

DO IT!

Scott, where's the orange winter hat? Hahaha. I dig the multiple camera angles.

 

[adampolo13]

Well, the heat should help that primer dry up quick! Keep up the great work Scott!

Watching from work at Minot AFB, Chilly North Dakota. I saw that you spray in the room with no spray booth. Does the fumes become overpowering at all? If you answered this on the live stream, I apologize as work might have pulled me away for a few minutes...and the internet here sucks. Good luck with the build, the world is watching...no pressure!

 

[Junkie]

I sometimes pray vallejo at bench. Other stuff in booth.

 

[CTspeedshop]

Building a Rat Rod while listening to ZZ top. I like your style Scott. ;D

 

[Unreality]

I sometimes pray vallejo at bench. Other stuff in booth.

I sometimes pray to Vallejo too. hehe ;D

 

[Junkie]

Thanks for watching guys! Done...for now.

 

[Jeeves]

Was fun to watch off and on while I was cleaning and reorganizing the CMD...although I have to say that you got me on a Tragically Hip kick now...for the record though, the Tragically Hip station on Pandora plays a pretty diverse mix of music I loved through high school and college...so that's worthy!

 

[Junkie]

Coolness. The Hip rocks.

Here are pics from the 22hour build. I will be continuing on this very soon. To recap here's what I accomplished in that time period.

Sanded tires, rusted rims and frame. Chopped roof. Weld beads. Scribed panel lines. Added raised (too raised IMO) detail. Assembled engine. Scratch build dizzy offset, injector pump, velocity stacks. Primered engine.

+++

Looking at the velocity stacks, and this being an X-Wing theme, I might change them out for 3 lightsabre style pipes... also gonna touch up the scribed panel lines on the body. Maybe sand back the raised bits a bit.

Here's the pics.

 

[JohnSimmons]

That's looks awesome man.

 

[Chris S]

Yip that is looking very cool i like the welds on the roof chop . Hope to see it finished soon

Chris.
