Post by keavdog »

Haven't built a rail in years - this should be fun. So it begins

How do I add this to the race car group build?

If the mods can move my GB to officially an active GB. That way we can start our own builds individually under the Racers, Funny Cars and Dragsters thread.

A few tiny steps. Trying to figure out how to get the carbon fiber decal to settle down. Tires need a dull coat and wheels test fitted. Basic block together. So fun!

Bit of progress. I find Alclad aluminum to be pretty durable in terms of handling but the titanium is very sensitive. I'll need to touch up the valve covers. Any how, test fitting a few painted bits
