Re: Revell 68 Hemi Dart with MCG Photo Etch Set
I had some RB Motion rod ends so I opened them up and turned them into electrical connectors.
I inserted some .5mm brass studs into the alternator and starter
These are fully functional threaded fasteners
Here is the starter
I know some of the configuration isn't correct, but I can only do so much
Here it is coming together
The toothpick is a temporary dowel to keep the belt assy. in line until I attach the fan
I normally can't stand a mess on my bench, but I don't mind it as long as the build keeps progressing.
I attached 2 PE wire looms to the valve covers and used a few more to keep this as tidy as I could. I wish the wires were longer, I could make them droop more naturally, but I am happy with this.
It looks like there are mold lines on the headers, but those are reflections in the Alclad
I had to test fit in the chassis to make sure the headers cleared, so I only used tiny dots of super glue. The passenger side needs adjusting.
