Hello follow model enthusiasts! I pre-ordered my kit with Brady at ScaleAutoWorks dot com. He was great to deal with... if you guys would place an order, please tell him Royce from Pedal2Metal on YT referred him to you. Thanks!

I think that the improvised metal exhaust looks really good an is well worthy the effort. I'll be doing the same.

[@Pedal2Metal_on_YouTube]

Thanks Brent! It was a slight pain, but I think it was worth it in the end, too. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Nice work on the exhaust. Some tips from the 3d resin world. Next time dip them in the resin then use a UV light to smooth it all out. My notebook is full of notes now based on what you've done. Thanks!

[@Pedal2Metal_on_YouTube]

I don't have any resin here, tho. Unless I misunderstood about your dipping process. I'm glad you're liking the videos, thanks!

Good call on replacing the tubing with real wire. The new diameter looks much closer to scale.

[@Pedal2Metal_on_YouTube]

Yea, I had to replace those tubes... lol. I'm sure they are fine for most ppl, but I figured I'd try and do it as right as I can...

Exhaust megaphones looks great!! What colors did you mix together to match the bakelite distributor cap? Any thoughts on adding the diffuser to the ends of the megaphones?

[@Pedal2Metal_on_YouTube]

Thank you for the compliment! For the reddish brown color I mixed up Tamiya LP-17 (linoleum deck brown), LP-51 (pure orange) and LP-21 (red). To answer your exhaust Q, only the 906s, 908s, and I believe some very early 917pa spyders used the 908 style exhaust tips that had the additional diffusers welded in. I've personally never seen a 917k or 917lh use them. Thanks again for the compliment... it keeps me going on this build! And thanks for watching!
