Re: 1/12 Datsun 240ZG

Thanks Quadzero...
Yes, I will try and save the hood...haven't tried yet, but I was thinking some hot water will help. Cheers man.

Well, the weekend got quite busy in the end.............. We have PAINT !

Engine block. Sprayed Tamiya TS-10 (?), topped of with their new matt/dull clear. It gives a nice dull look..




Head was sprayed gloss aluminium, at a distance to try and give the rough cast look...
Rocker cover in matt black, again, it has a semi-rough appearance. The fins are now silver.




Now, the issue with hood clearances I'll resolve later....for now.............
This is the NEW sump/oil-pan. Bigger, deeper and wider. Cooling fins added too..


Comparison beside the stock unit...


This afternoon I added all the bolt heads to the inlet manifold, head and rocker cover.. It's starting to take shape.

More coming soon guys..
cheers
Greg
