Making progress on the front clip and doors (wheel openings not cut out)

Looks good. When’s the first test ride?

 

[panchothedog]

bradwsm. Been following your fantastic build since your 1st post. I realize you aren't finished yet ( certainly getting there ) but have you fired the engine yet?

 

[bradwsm]

Not yet, but shouldn't be long now.

 

[Grizzlymi]

The whole forum is waiting for a test ride video!!

 

[bradwsm]

That's my next step!!! I am going to wire this week as I work on the front!

 

[bradwsm]

Slowly but surely! Making wood plugs from here on out, found some other discrepancies to iron out!

Meanwhile you've developed a minor spider infestation.

Hey is this car going to have operating headlights, tail lights, brake lights? I don’t recall reading that in the thread and didn’t check to see if the real 1:1 car had them (some don’t, they have faux lights).

 

[bradwsm]

Yes real headlights and tail lights, taillights don't function as brake lights only marker.

 

[Denny]

Make them working brake lights too. It will add more realism! And it would be easy to do.

I have looked but I do not believe race cars have brake light because it would give away brake application to competitors. There will be running and flash read and yell ow taillights

Ive always wondered about this. The car itself had working brake lights that lit up when the brake is pressed, Ive seen it in videos, working brake lights were mandated at the time. -But ive never seen them used in a race.

The sims I drive, the 312pb does not have working brake lights and they usually keep the "sim cars" pretty true to life in regard to lighting and these things.

 

[bradwsm]

It's hard to find the answer all footage I find on actual races there are no brake applied lights. More finishing and headlight recesses in

 

[bradwsm]

Front finally primed!!! The red one is a real front for comparison.

 

[Grizzlymi]

Amazing work as usual! Hell of a job man!

 

[Denny]

What no cups for the headlights?
