MCB Motorsport SHOP REPORT 2013/02/19 MY built continu, today i still worked on my chassis. I install some additional hood support and scratchbuilt a bracket for the dasd board!  This is permit to maintain in correct place the dash, becaus when you play with resin this need to made a lot modification and , of course, a lot of test fit.  Also worked on the two front cage mount, i use Evergreen rod, he look bettrte now!    This side view permited to see then new cage mounting fir very more better with squared Fairlane body!  After i worked to extended the rear section of the chassis then joint the rear bumper!    That's it for today, don't mist the next SHOP REPORT on this forum... |

MCB Motorsports SHOP REPORT 03/13/2013 Hi everybody, my Fairlaine project was not dead, a little progress for now! I need to check if my hood need to be perfored, to give a place to the carburator and air filter. To give more stability to my air filter, i use an little cylinder, an air filter from the AMT modified kit, then i install un cardurator to give more stability to my very nice aluminium air filter (Parts by Parks)  There is the result...  But this need to made a big hole on to my hood to permit to air filter to pass.   That's it for today.... stay tuned for the next Shop Report soonelly on this forum... Daniel |
