Hi guys, well, in between rehearsals for the upcoming tour, I've been relaxing at night by working slowly on the ol' Bee; I finally have the engine done. The distributor is from "Tom's Model Car Garage", and the rest of the doodads and lines are scratchbuilt, like that canister (?) on the side there under the air cleaner.
Some of the lines are hose from Detail Master; other is wire. I painted on th eminiature lettering on the black hoses, and the other two unsecured hoses will go into the engine wall when I put it together. There will also be additional detailing done in the actual engine bay when I get it together.
The body is tucked away, curing, and I won't get to it until probably when I get back from Europe in mid July, but here's wherre I am so far.
I;m now working on the body for the Johnny RUtherford McLaren Indy car as well; I'll get some paint on that before I go and let it sit....it was the forst model I can ever remember my Dad building for me, but it's long gone. It's cool to build it again--the "full circle" thing, ya know?
Comments welcomed! Help appreciated, and knowledge welcomed, cuz when it comes to cars, I have next to none! ......
