1964 VW T1 Jet Dragster
After I saw the original car for the first time a few years ago, it was immediately clear to me: I have to build it. The T1 is simply a cuddly, likeable car with a wonderful feel-good design. The original car is extremely clean and built with love. According to the website, the car is registered in ...

Re: Hydro-Vee V12 Speed Boot

1948 Ford Airplane Pickup
Inspired by the famous 1939 Plymouth Air Radial Truck, I decided to build my own version of an air radial-engine truck. The original Air Radial Truck: https://abload.de/img/1939-plymouth-air-radfwken.jpg For my conversion, I decided for the 1948 Ford F-1 Pick Up. So it's not a 1 to 1 replica. On the...

Re: 1970 Dodge Challenger Tracktool
After the clear coat was allowed to dry for 10 days, all body parts were wet ground with 3000, 5000, 8000 and 12000 sandpaper. Then everything was brought to a shine with the 3-step polish program by Meguiars. There was a strange event in the bonnet: after the third layer of clear coat was applied, ...

Re: 1970 Dodge Challenger Tracktool
Small updates for this project: When painting the body parts with 2K clearcoat, I made a big mistake. After applying the first coat I painted another coat after 24 hours. At first everything looked good but after about 10 minutes all the paint came off. Note: several layers of 2K paint best directly...

Re: 1970 Dodge Challenger Tracktool
It continues with the paint job. First, the original paint was removed and closed a few unnecessary holes. The bare metal was then sanded wet with 2500 sandpaper and primed twice. As a basecoat, I used 2 layers of Tamiya Gloss Aluminum and final 4 layers of Tamiya Mica Red. After a few days of dryin...

Re: 1970 Dodge Challenger Tracktool
As described at the beginning of the report, the engine gets a Cross Ram intake. The pipes are made of polystyrene, the funnels are from Uli Nowak. And because I like these small M 0.6 screws so much, the base plates that go into the cylinder heads also have some. The engine was also fixed in the en...
