Now that would be cool too! I’ll be in Miami for a few days in May. Staying at the Carlyle on Ocean Dr on South Beach. Where is the Volo car located? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAQ 178 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) I won’t lie, this made me very nervous... this is the first model I’ve ever wet sanded & polished the paint (it already looked good). 1500 grit wet sanding & then Meguires #2 & #3 polishing and wax. Nailed it! This black finish is glowing! Never stop learning! The pics don’t do this McBurnie build justice!

ZAQ 178 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Good comparison of how the interior comes in the Vice model out of the box (left) and how it should look (right) when you really put the custom touch to it. If you’re going to do a Vice Model you better do it right or not at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAQ 178 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Is the headlight bucket area in front of the headlights painted silver or chrome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I am understanding your question but when my headlight cover is down and the lenses are visible, they are surrounded by black fiberglass. Attached is a fairly recent view of the Camera Car today and I don't see any chrome other than the reflective mirror of each headlight lens.

ZAQ 178 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Ok so flat area in front of the headlights/inside the headlight bucket area is black then. It has a chrome look but it might be the reflection of the plexi/headlights making it look so. I’ll leave the headlight buckets on the model black.

I do believe it is a reflection, but you could always PM CameraDaytona for confirmation . I do know the bucket area on mine is solid black. Otherwise if I am running the headlights before it is really dark and that area is painted chrome I think it would jump out and not at all look Ferrari-like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAQ 178 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have Cameras email. If he don’t respond by end the the day I’ll send an email his way but I think you’re right & that area is black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area in front of the headlights in the headlight bucket area is painted gloss black. It reflects the headlights and it's hard to tell the color until you look closely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAQ 178 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 The Daytona has headlights, motor is in w/ details & working on the exhaust. I just couldn’t use black valve covers for this project though as too much black hides details so I went chrome. Pay no mind to the huge hole in the bellhousing. I had to notch things for clearance lol. Also. I pulled a bone head move notching the chassis for the exhaust... I notched the wrong side & now the exhaust will run up the wrong side of the car. I screwed up something so simple lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAQ 178 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I side window frame trim is now done. I didn’t originally plan on doing this but what the hell right? It’s all custom made but I used the sun visors from the Vette model. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny-Burnett Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) I like what you did with the engine and the under-body. I wouldn't get too hung up on the under-body exhaust pipe placement, as long as you get the 2 twin tailpipes in the correct position at the inside of each bumper. (mine is recessed a bit too far inward to match up to the Camera Car's location). Edited March 10, 2018 by Sonny-Burnett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAQ 178 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Thank you SB!! Any good shots of the tailpipes & their placement? That’s next on the list. Almost finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadrian Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 So awesome! I made really cool backdrop for my Testarossa model. I will share a pic with you. Maybe I could help with something like that for your Daytona, or maybe you already have something in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be some in the Ferrari thread however as there is a shot of the car parked in front of a hotel that shows part of the rear end. Just can't seem to find it. I just know its tailpipes are positioned further away from center than mine, giving them a wider appearance. Your car is LOOKING GOOD!

ZAQ 178 Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thanx Pal! I’ll keeping looking for the tailpipe placement photos as it’s one of the few things left. I think I recall them being set more inward with the inner of the 2 dual tailpipes in line the the inside of the chrome rear bumpers. @CameraDaytona Can you shed light on this detail?
