How to Read Model Car Instructions

Hi, I'm Greg B. from Expert Village. Today we're going to talk about model cars. Now we're going to talk about assembling our model car. This is the most important thing. Here are the instructions it will give you a brief history of the car. They'll tell you or suggest some of the colors you might want to paint your car to get that pro look to it. You?re going to open it up and you'll see your, in the first assemble they like you to do is to assemble the engine. Basically, that first step that you'll assemble an engine you'll be able to put your color on your parts, they even break it down, the engine head yellow, the block yellow, the intake manifold painted silver or aluminum, and the transmission pan same color as the engine. Once you have that glued and painted and assembled now you can put on your chrome parts. They are labeled chrome, the air cleaner the top is chrome. their suggesting is that you paint the filter part tan and your gulfs flat black, the water pump gloss yellow the same color as the engine, and that's basically those a and b part one. your part two would be your frame, with their suggestions how to put it together, but you can modify it a little bit to get them to sit a little lower if you want to, but here's your basic instructions on your model car and if you follow these you shouldn't have no problem at all putting that car together correctly. When assembling your model car it's nice to have a table to work off of. We're out in the garage. I have a plastic $30 folding table its about 6 feet long maybe about 2 1/2 feet wide gives you plenty of room to spread your model car out and assemble it. It works fine for me. You could use a kitchen chair or folding chair put you at the right height to sit down and assemble your car and have your fun.
