A Christmas Model Contest?
So anyway, "its later today".... and I'm trying to kill a little time this morning as on Thursday morning. I let the wife sleep in and i take the daughter to school, SO, with that said....I went and grabbed the camera card from the shop and got the pics edited for posting and uploaded to add the links for all to see! SO, with that said, here we go!
Seen here is the fuel line going from the front mounted tank (like the inspiration picture shows....) I ran the fuel line! This was a FUN detail.....Good GAWD....As I musta wasted 3 hours digging through different wire types till I foundsomething, suitable? I guess would be the right word for this......... SO, finding that made it possible! BUT, what about a fuel filter? Yep, had to add one. just isn't right without it, so then back to digging, just didn't take nearly as long to locate a double, thats forsure! I got it somewhat painted from my parts organizers from a used part, this one was in WAY bettershape then the other one I had, and sadly the other one was also a "single" filter not a double!
Off to run the piping from the center of the filter bank to the rear of the front engines injectors. and then out the back ofthe secondfilter to the rear of the rear engine injectors.... looks pretty good!
Showing the nicely done front mounted fuel tank.....
Then the MAJOR stuff! I went and gone crazy a bit with some interior details.....
WELL NOW........ you see a Candy Cane gear shift, and boot, all custom made and painted by me, as well as the lower "dash" area has some "trim" on it now....
I also added a windshield, with gold trim, as well as a rear view mirror for Santa use to watch for following UFO's while the ole magic makes him fly as long as we all "BELIEVE" he'll remain flying but. if that drops, then he'll have to use the shifter and track to get him through.....:D
NOW I'm gonna say, this is THEE LAST "photo" update you will see of this build, the END is near!
A few surprises will come when the end is shown!
ENJOY!
