Some weeks ago, I started another car... The kit looks good, for what I can understand. And this time it will have a engine, non Hamster any more!!!! ;D ;D ;D This is the box... The first work was about the steering wheels. I tried to drill the hole on it for make it looks more "real", but it was too difficult, and take so long, so I decided to rebuild it. And here the steering wheels finished. Looks not to bad, will see it, when it is paint. Next step the chassis... Build out of the box without any problem, the only thing I changed it is about the front wheels support, now they are able to turn, and also I lowered the front and the rear, I think should fit good so... After I covered it with flat black... Thanks for looking!

Good to see you back on the forum, we've missed you. The Super Bee no doubt will be amazing when you finish working your magic on it. I'm looking forward to watching your progress.

Thank you Dave! I had some "problem"... I changed computer, and I couldn't remember the psw... But fortunately I found a piece of paper with it... So I'm back... Cutting a piece of plastic, with the razor, I cut little bit one finger... Blood every where, looks a splatter movie... But with a little bit of SuperGlue, i fix it... The last one, I was sick... Kind of cold virus... So I miss also the SABA Meeting... Yesterday after consulting my brother I decide to build a guitar, that will go inside the car. And also a broom (?)... This doesn't inside the car. Soon I'll post some pics of the car...

Now it is a T-Bee, where T stand for Turbocharged... Why Turbo??? Because the first car I drove had a turbo engine... So much fun with it!!! ;D This is not a great pics for see the body, but I painted it in gold. After I start to work on the engine, and it toke a lot... Before I converted the carburetors engine to fuel injected, after I played with the turbos and all the tubing and stuff the turbos needed... Made fit the V8 with the turbocharged system was kind of stressful, because there aren't space on the side of the engine without cut the fenders. I find out thet relocating the radiator, was helpful for have space for all... I couldn't find rims for it in that size, so I toke the center part out from a smaller rim, and put on a Willys-Jeep rims that fit perfect in those tires. Probably it is not correct, like the one used on the original car, but I think looks good... ;D

That's a whole lot of turbo to stuff under the hood of that Super Bee.
Teri wants to know if the broom is for sweeping the awards at the upcoming NNL?

I don't know if I can finish it for the NNL... Right now I kind of abandoned it for another kit, a Jeep, finally... ;D Ok, there is a lot of time for the NNL, so probably I could finish it on time... But it still need a lot of work... I saw now on the broom pics that I still need to finish it, need a red string for keep together the two part of it. And probably I should paint darker the handle... Say Hi to Teri!

Now that the Blown Mower it is done, I have some time to share with the T-Bee... I will add to it a trailer, here a mock-up of it. The chassis it is almost done, need springs, some electrical cable, lights... etc... The rims are from a Jeep Willys, but the tires I have no idea from where they came out... :rolleyes:
