Race car fabrication is hard work. You're not kidding JC, I swear I could build a real one quicker than this!

Thanks Joel. Exhausts molded by Tamiya, remolded by ArcticWolf Performance Inc. , LOL
I almost resorted to making them from 14-2 copper wire!
I should take some pics next time I do that.

Paul, Your work certainly rivals Tamiya's efforts when it comes to exhausts. I truly decide on a open wheel kit to a degree on just how well the exhaust system is reported to go together and fit. Tamiya's 1/20 scale F1 cars have a real bad reputation. On the other hand, their partner in F1 these days: Ebbro does have a way better plan of attack.
As for your scratching out a set of exhausts from copper or solder wire, I'd really love to watch both you and JC do a detailed blog on their construction. What seems to work great for you guys, usually turns out to be a complete nightmare and failure for me.

Just an update. A little bit done, some detailing:
There was a forward mounted cooler on the Cosworth car, so some extra lines, and I prettied up the dash + some wiring and a tach cable:
I'm still working on some major bodywork.
Later

Paul, I don't know how I missed this one! That is some really nice work! If that seat were 1/24 I'd buy a few from you. Thanks, Ismael

I could make a 1/24th seat that's close to it if you wanted one.
