  While the gloss coat on the PC-23 is drying, I went to work on finishing the tub on the Reynard. I added the shifter and shift linkage, made from Evergreen plastic. I also added the "tools" the swaybar adjusters and linkage. Made from Evergreen plastic and brass rod. Linkage was from surgical steel. Now on tho the dash and steering wheel. Then I can install both the dash and tub. I can then get to work on the rear suspension and get this thing finished! Jim |

Jim I found a fellow on ebay who sells Colorado decals, and over a period of using them for a couple of years I have been very happy with them, I have used the 1/43 Carbon fiber, 1/32 Monster/Ken Block Ford Focus WRC , and a few 1/24 sets and have never had a problem with any.. Good Stuff and usually a decent price too!!! Chris

 As you can see I'm getting impatient on the build, but it was nice to test fit the suspension! I have the dash and steering ready for painitng and then mounting. I should have the interior done in the next couple of days. I also need to continue on the rear suspension and wing supports. I also need to make supports for the venturies(little winglets) in front of the sidepod openings and the small side head rest and mirrors. Jim |

Like the unusual seatbelt patches in this case. Jim |

  Got the dash and steering wheel mounted along with the seat and tub. Now I can begin adding parts as I finish them! Jim |

 Well as I said, it's down to the small details. I used the mirrors from the Revell kit. I pinned them with thin copper wire. Hopefully this will help mount and hold the mirrors once I install them. Right now they are in a state of primer. Next I will paint them gloss white! Jim |

 I also fashioned the side headrest from Evergreen plastic stock. This is also in primer. I'll paint this gloss white along with the mirrors. Jim |

 I finished painting the transmission, suspension and exhaust. I gave it a black wash and now need to dry brush it. I also mounted the transmission on the undertray and added the axle. Jim |

 I made the transmission bell housing from my spare box. I believe part of it is from the AMT Lola and some Milliput. I used more Evergreen plastic card stock to make the rear wing mount. The rotors and calipers were mounted to the hubs. Jim |
