Re: pics from the other side...

Bouht al so the ford as you can see on the pictures and a have al so the drawings already to make it a beatifull hotrod.
But there a some issues: time and investments. Investments and customers don't seem to match

Re: pics from the other side...
Steff, you stopped, Mike stopped...
I decided 6 months ago when the Cobra won't sell I will stop too.
It's a f.....g waste everybody is stopping and only grap like FG etc. can go on.
Biggest question we should ask ourself: what do we wrong
Anybody....?

Re: pics from the other side...
Vass, ok, you mean those... Yep I'm busy to make a set of spokerims. Full aluminum, full scale and 72 spokes each rim....Spokes a stainless steel and the spokenipples from aluminum. This wheels are for the Cobra project. I know....
It is a very difficult and expensive project those wheels, but if I can manage this...
Interieur box of the Cobra fits, some little adjustmenst to do.
Then laminate it into the bodies, some leather, seatbelts...
Then wiring it all up so all lightfunctions will work.
Now working on the lenses for the headlights, directionlichts etc.

Some of my friends with 1/5 & 1/4 scale rc cars , have paid more than 3,000 euro to 'upgrade'
a 1500 euro car but they assume TOO expencive a 4000 euro for a serious ready to race car.
You dont do somethig wrong.
People with your ( our) view are few and these who could pay are less.
Financial difficulties could do the bad thinks, worst.
Companies like Hyundai have less difficulties than .... Saab.
Its only a game to me but I dont know if I could spend, time and money on projects next months.

Re: pics from the other side...
do you plan to make casting for light lenses? this is realistic.
for the GTO, just need the small plug at 7000$ in this post http://www.quarterscalelegends.com/bb/v ... =2&p=15062 (twice more expensive as a CNC milling in 2011)
for your wheels i understand it's a challenge: i never managed to repair my bicycle wheels with 32 spokes! with a small wheels it will be difficult!
