WIP- Dale Earnhardt Jr '05 Chevy
another one im working on.
it will be similiar to this car but my own version  first step just to fill in all the mold lines and stuff.  i blended in this drivers side bar to the body like they have them now   I updated the roll bars using .080" tubing to replace the kits roll bars  chassis is painted light grey

Re: WIP- Dale Earnhardt Jr '05 Chevy
Great Work James.... Looks extremely familiar......
  One thing that I would have done was gotten rid of the oil coolers on the pass floor.... they dont run them like that... But it is still great work... you have really gotten very good at these!!!! DaveT

Re: WIP- Dale Earnhardt Jr '05 Chevy
Yeah I got a few ideas from some of your builds!
 and i found some cool pics of bare chassis' on the net toroll cages are fun to make, I noticed about the oil lines there, but to much fussy work to get em off lol maybe stick a kool box over top to hide them...

Re: WIP- Dale Earnhardt Jr '05 Chevy
They would be quite hard to remove fully i feel. How would you get it to look right? Grind them down then sand like mad to get it all smooth and flat again?

Re: WIP- Dale Earnhardt Jr '05 Chevy
another small update, I added the two fire bottles and lines, one for the fuel cell (trunk area) and one for the driver compartment.
  I also added a small "nextel cup" decal on the passenger door roll bar you can see it in this pic

Re: WIP- Dale Earnhardt Jr '05 Chevy
the interior is fantastic. thats a lot of work cleaning up these parts and redoing the rollbars but you make it look so easy and actually, enjoyable. the wires and extras really brings out the life of this model.
