Re: Eighties Contest Entry: 1987 Wrangler Monte Carlo
Alright, not much in progress shots of the little things. But here it is, well on its way to finished! The rear end is in finally. Springs, shocks and driveshaft are all scratched from various materials, as are the pullies on the rear end pump. The rear and side windows are in. If you notice the aluminum tubing on the end of the axle, that is the "HUB" It fits inside of the rotor and holds it in place. I've decided that the right side's will be mounted and the lefts will be off, and it will sit on a jack. I also added the jack studs. Not much left for this one, I need to finish up the front glass, paint the chin spoiler, and the radiator cover in the front of the engine bay(would it be correct to add some sides to create a "tunnel" going to the front of the radiator?) I still need to finish up the dash as well. Is there anyone willing to print some guages for me? Maybe we can work a deal, shoot me a pm, my printer is on the blink. Mount the seat and the fire extinguisher, detail the wheels and tires, and finish out the brakes for the driver's side....hmmm......thats a mightly long list and I'm sure I forgot some stuff...oh well. Here are the pics, keep the comments coming!

Re: Eighties Contest Entry: 1987 Wrangler Monte Carlo
A little more progress. This one is slow going. I've started a venture on ebay which has taken some of my modelling time for now. I've got the tires decalled and a pair of the wheels painted. the other side will be drilled for the hubs and what have you to be displayed with the wheels off, if time allows. I am in the process of putting together the Detail Master Harness kit for the seat. It is slow going, but gets easier with each peice.

Re: Eighties Contest Entry: 1987 Wrangler Monte Carlo
As my deadline of July 1 approaches, things are getting narrowed down. The harness is in. The hood and trunk have the beginnings of hinges. I've yet to take care of the supports Not sure if I will do that before or after I mount the body. I've got some roll bar padding in. Here is a list of what is left:
Dash (still working on some images for the guages) Steering wheel Ignition box Carb and fuel line assemblies air cleaner Radiator and oil cooler and lines fuel filler and overflow Getting the wheels tires and brakes finished up Final detail (nuts and bolts) I think that is about it.

Re: Eighties Contest Entry: 1987 Wrangler Monte Carlo
It all depends on time my friend. I've got a calculus test on tuesday. I'm hoping to get time on thursday to finish it up. But there is not telling what will come up. I have never done the hinges before. So that will take some time. I think it is going to come down to how much trouble I decide to go through on the Dash and the guages. I want to do photoreduced guages with Aluminum bezels...did Dale run black face or white face guages? I cannot remember

Re: Eighties Contest Entry: 1987 Wrangler Monte Carlo
Here we go. Got the mesh in the front grille the hood pins are in, and The dash is well on its way. I printed some black face guages. As someone mentioned, the detail is lost quite a bit against the black background. Some higher res images would have been nice. I'm hoping to get this thing finished up this week. If anyone can give some comments on the hub area for the drivers side that would be great; how to drill the wheels and such. And maybe some tips on photographing the dash. lol

Re: Eighties Contest Entry: 1987 Wrangler Monte Carlo
Well A bit more of an update. I got the dash mounted. All that is left in the interior is to get Dale's "Heat Shield" mounted. Then I can mount the body I beleive. Finish up the fuel supply, Fuel tank and some odds and ends and its done. I hope to have it finished tomorrow. Can someone comment on the fuel supply. The braided line should go to the fuel pump correct? and then braided line or hard line to the carb?

Re: Eighties Contest Entry: 1987 Wrangler Monte Carlo
looks like I uploaded the blurry pic. Sorry about that. I've made a bit more progress. the right side wheels and tires are on. Not much left at this point. The two most daunting tasks, the hubs and the hinges and supports still awaits me. Hope to have this thing done tonight or tomorrow night
