Tom Setzer Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I Had Three Builds on My Work Bench, and Three Others In Their Boxes! On the Work Bench ; 50 Chevy 3100 Pickup 25 T Model, GOW JOB 32 Ford Chopped three window In Boxes; 32 Ford Sport Coupe 32 Ford 3 Window With Ardun Equiped 49 Flathead 69 Nova Yenko I thought they had all been destroy, until my son walked in today with a plastic case with one of them inside. He had cleaned the case before bringing it to me. GUESS WHAT WAS INSIDE!! I figure that if It Servived the Fire when All Of the Others Did't It Deseves to get Finished!

rsxse240 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 God bless you. To lose everything is terrible, It is surely a treat to find something like that after a tragedy. Specially in such good shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specially in such good shape! Thank You! I've got to do some cleaning up on it, it has some dirt and grim on it, but it is still intact.

Tom Setzer Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 I will post photo's of my progress as I get it cleaned up and repaired. Once those are done I will finish detailing, and assembling it! It wont get neglected again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFL Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm really sorry to hear about tragedy. It's hard to find the good in a situation like that but I'm glad to see you we're able to salvage something out of it. It's a cool little project and held up nicely. I'll be keeping my eye on this for some progress. Good luck with everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Amazing that a Plastic Kit survived. If you're into naming projects you might avoid the obvious Phoenix and Smokie names and go for another fire Orphan - Bambi. There were 5 siblings that seem to have not made it.

Tom Setzer Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Plan for today is making a new Tyerod for the Deuce, and cleaning up the paint with Novus 1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Setzer Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 I will Have to Build a New Frame and Front Suspension for it! When I Tried to Block it up on a Grid To Make sure I Got The front wheels straight With The New Tyerod, I Found out The Resin Frome was Baddly Warped, and so Was the Front Axle. and Tryes. The Front Axle also had a Lot of Cracks In It! I will Have to Build A New Chassis and Front Suspension For it, But I will Finish This Build!
