Nice, very nice!

 

WOW!!! Now only if GM could make black chrome look that good.

 

Wow! Awesome job there!





I can hardly tell them apart - and yours looks better!

 

Nice job BB...that turned out great.

 

Awesome job!

Now, the Road Rippers I have seen have buttons on the roof. Short of borrowing a straight razor from Captain Howdy, how did you shave them off??

PS - About the avatar..yep I used to play before my heart attacks. And for the big question: "What does a Scotsman wear under a kilt? Why shoes and socks of course!"

 

From his earlier post:

The hardest part and the most time consuming were the rear windows, it took about two (2) weeks of sanding and filling to get them up to the point I felt comfortable with.
The buttons are actually glued and sanded down in place and filled. Then the strips are applied and blended in, sorta where the original ones were.
I also removed the roof rails, and of course the rear door handles.
The body is lowered 0.040 in., and I experimented with a Black Chrome type thing. (Not sure if it came off quite right.)
It definitely takes time, but it helps keep me out of mischief... B/B

 

Still haven't seen the original post, but thanks for the info. Man, what a lot of hard work and it came out FANTASTIC!

 

Been watching too many fires there, page 1 of this thread, 5-6 comments down, not his orginal post, but a reply!!!


Glad to help!!!

 

While I was out Xmas shopping I found this little beauty



Those are the side pipes I want

 

Thanx everyone for the compliments and words of encouragement. I picked up a "Virgin" Ripper today, and I`m looking for/thinking of a new project...
I hope each time I get better, maybe one day we can have a Ripper Showdown..
Posted a couple more pics, The Cruck Bros. and Newbee..
A mini Run. Thanx again, B/B
