Re: Wide body Shelby Series 1 1:25

I have putted putty on the hood now and started to sand it down. But it’s a slow progress as usual. And I have started to re make the chassis to. But one question to any one that follows this… when I first built this one I made the brake dishes gold with red calibres. Should I let them be that way or should I paint them like stoptech brakes?

Pictures of the chassis might come up to morrow….

Re: Wide body Shelby Series 1 1:25

Wow you did some more to this. I haven't touched mine in a while. Maybe updates this weekend if im lucky. Any way. I think sliver breaks with yellow calipers would look hot but it is your car.

Re: Wide body Shelby Series 1 1:25

Re: Wide body Shelby Series 1 1:25

Well I have tested to add the wheels, and I saw that I must lower it a bit in the front... and sorry for the big peaces of tape across the body.
But here you have some pictures….







As you se, I must lower it a bit.

It's to keep the body in the right place on the chassis.
