Re: 1984 4 runner build Amazing work. Love it. This may have been said, as I was mostly looking at all the pictures, lol... But you should make a little Tx Remote for your driver, and the matchbox can be his 1:10 scale RC of your 1:10 scale of your 1:1... lol like a mini-me's mini me. |

Re: 1984 4 runner build maybe if you have patience you could always trace on your screen with see threw paper and then cut out on sticky vinyl.....i suppose it all depends on what type of screen you have to.... http://images.esellerpro.com/2295/I/...29f4150255.jpg |
Re: 1984 4 runner build 2 Attachment(s) These are the speakers VM175BT-BLU :: Bluetooth Long Speaker :: Vivitar They had like 50 of them on sale right before christmas. I actually went back after christmas to get more and they were gone.. haven't seen em since.. Any of those little bluetooth speakers will work though, these just looked good and fit the budget. My patience depends on my work day! :lmao: I need to figure something out because i need to do the rest of the decals and emblems eventually as well. Check it, i still have one of them bad boys! I sold the other two, and gave this one to my friend. Then he gave it back to me so i could put it in my ms3. Never got that far! Maybe this summer... :roll: Attachment 354223 Gotta love those 80's graphix! Attachment 354222 |

Got a bit more done this morning. Took the shock hoops and ground the backsides round and sanded them smooth. Looks 10 times better! Attachment 355308 I wasn't sure if i was going to detail the grill but i went for it anyways. 78 individually cut and placed pieces. If i had to do it again i would a least wait until my coffee wore off. Just glad i don't have to worry about it anymore! Attachment 355309 Attachment 355310 |

Re: 1984 4 runner build 3 Attachment(s) Got some progress made on the engine. Reglued the header and the manifold to the correct sides of the engine block, lol.. then laid down about 5 coats of primer and a few coats of flat black to fill most of the lines from 3d printing. Sprayed some rustoleum 'aluminum' on a few parts and called it good. Had to solder the motor wires in less than ideal spots due to the clearance in the front of the motor but it worked out. Attachment 356054 Attachment 356055 Bolted the pan to the sides with some stainless screws and then glued the front back on and the valve cover as well. Found some o-rings laying around that fit for the belts. Looks pretty good! Will look even better with an air cleaner, some spark plug wires and hoses, etc. Eventually will do some of the other bits and pieces. Faux engine also just slides on and off for easy motor maintenance. Attachment 356056 |
