| I had to “unbolt” one of the header bolts to install the brass |
|
|
| The transmission is the Muncie from the Camaro kit, cut off the engine / bell housing. Pretty much box stock with a little added texture and light weathering |
|
|
| . It will get some mounting hardware/fasteners later... |
|
|
|
| The calipers are installed, (modified resin copies I cast of Tamiya parts), as are the rotors and backing plates to the spindles. |
|
|
| The roll bar, built back then… Plastruct tubing with paper clip wire to reinforce the memory of the bends. I need to set it up with the driver’s seat to make the seat belts. |
|
|
| The driver’s seat had to be lowered before working on the harnesses. I cut out the floor pan and recessed the brass seat tracks. Still a little clean up around the mounting points to be done… And the seat still slides in the tracks. |
|
|
|
| These are the lower control arms and the mono-leaf spring I milled from 6061 aluminum. No CNC, just old school machining. These were made at least a dozen years ago… |
|
|
| The master cylinder with power booster are from the Camaro kit, I cleaned them up and started to plumb the lines to the proportioning valve |
|
|
| Added the brake light sender wire and a couple machined bolts… The casting part of the master was textured by hand stippling. |
|
|
|
| The seatbelts have been started so I could fit them to the driver’s seat, (and then finish the seat). The roll bar mount points are from the parts box. The PE parts of the buckles are from SMS, but I modified a couple of the adjuster clasps by soldering in additional parts. The main buckle is made from sheet styrene, (the PE part in the set did not line up as I wanted for this project). The belt material is masking tape. |
