YES! Finished at last, the notorious GTX! WARNING! Lots of pics.

proosen · #1 03-23-2005, 04:57 AM

Well, after looking at the pics I have spotted a few problem areas that need some care but besides that it's finally finished

Have to hang up the exhaust as it almost drags to to the ground, still haven't put in the washer tank nor the hood ornament or the drive shaft. So, what have I done with this one then? Light bulbs in the front lights, ignition cables, battery cables, Seat belts, the junk in the back seat, new exhaust system, Wunderbaum in the mirror, key in the ignition, flocking on the floor, Alclad on the front and rear, BMF on the rest and that's about it. Found out the hard way that I can't close the hood properly due to the ignition wires sitting to high

Well, maybe if I get tired of having the hood popped open I'll fix it. But not now, It'll do. Enjoy the pics, comments of any sort's welcome. If you find anything looking odd or peculiar, please let me know so I can fix it before the contest April 2 and 3.

Nope, there is this pre-modern hyperdrive system

It's going there as I wrote in the thread along with the hood ornament and washer tank. That's the "little" items not attached yet, I totally forgot about the driveshaft

saw it was missing on the pics...dooh! But it's just painted and is going on after the easter holidays or maybe tonight. Depends on whether I get the time or not to do it.

Thank's for the comments!

Very nice and oh so vintage looking with the stripes, wheels and stance... - Mark

great detail! now the challenge is building that 1/500 kit!

proosen · #15 03-23-2005, 02:11 PM

Fredrik, You know what they say. Winning isn't all, it's everything!

Anton, I'll have them for you when we meet in a week and a half. We can play around making magazines and boxes as much as we like. As long as the night is young it's just to keep it up. Mike wants to make his own disc brakes so we might have a little tech-corner at my place.

Lex, I've been trying to find a way to get my hands down that tiny box. I'll get back with a progress thread on that build

Imagine a metalic colour on that little body, like two flakes and the whole thing is coverd!?

Thank you all for the nice comments!
