Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
First half is here. The seller could only find a box big enough to safely ship the car. The body is in a separate box and hopefully here in the next few days.
So far what I can tell it looks to be in really good condition. Biggest downfall I see at the time and I'm not sure how to get rid of it is someone tried cleaning it with a very abrasive wool or a very fine sandpaper so the top and sides of the chassis are swirled. I don't like that so I'm going to try and remedy it. any suggestions would be help. Not as big of a problem but on my list to do is strip the black paint off the bottom of the chassis. Any suggestions here also would be nice. If its the D.O.T. 3 brake fluid method I hope it works better than the body I'm working on stripping cause the paint on the body isn't going anywhere fast.
Anyways onto the pictures. Quality isn't the best I still need to replace my real camera. Relying on my IPhone for now.
Now to start the tear down and Clean up

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
Few pictures of whats been done over the past few hours.
Cleaned and rebuilt trans
Stripped the paint off the bottom of the chassis (most of it)
And the swirly top of the chassis, I'm thinking if I sand blast it at a low pressure it might give that cast look again?
And rebuilt the engine (was in surprisingly great shape)
Thanks for looking

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
That car is absolutely awesome: very nice engineering.
Was there ever a 4WD version (why would it be using rear bulkheads at the front too?)?

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
I wondered that too but I think it was just for the simplicity of not having to make more/different parts for the front.EvolutionRevolution wrote: Was there ever a 4WD version (why would it be using rear bulkheads at the front too?)?
Well no sleep and many hours later. (still not a finished product but it'll look better on the display than it was)

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
Nope, never a 4wd version just like you said for ease of manufacture they used the uprights all around. Very nice car not sure why it has the side pods from the sidewinder version, most had magnesium squares cast of the same material as the main chassis.

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
The side plates do look like the same pieces that would have been on the Sidewinder model. Also this car has an external clutch along with the internal trans clutch. I was told by a guy that the external clutch is not factory?
The information on these cars are so little I can't tell what's what or if there were certain years released with different parts used from other models. All in all I still think it was a good buy.

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
I have some instruction sheets but I'm not at home so can't get to them until next weekend. Maybe you already have the build sheets.

Man, there are cars that just scream to be displayed and this is one of them. Keep the pics coming! Loved Dogma by the way.

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
Been a little bit since my last update. I got the body earlier in the week. Was in worse shape than was described, and the paint
Anyways I didn't have much motivation to mess with it after my poor success of trying to strip the paint off another body. I did however notice in the super thick paint a couple pieces that were hanging loose. Thought I would stop before I got too far for a before and during progress pictures. So far I got a few hours into the body. This is going to be my really bored project.
After messing with it for about an hour
Couple hours later
And just for fun

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
I also found one that had the sidewinder aluminum sides, may have been preferred setup when running a Can-Am body?The side plates do look like the same pieces that would have been on the Sidewinder model.

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
Almost ready for paint. A little more final sanding in a few spots to get some of the deeper scratches out. Was more cracks under the super thick paint than I first noticed.
Not sure if I should go with a simple orange with number plates or try and do another old school looking paint scheme.

Re: Dynamic Models Suspension Car
Yep. I think just the orange will do but I want a darker flatter orange not something so bright it looks like new Lamborghini or something. I want it to look old.Hcp22 wrote:One or max two colors and white round number plates
