MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. The rare "Cross Boss" intake does have two upper rad hose inlets. I guess I could've made something to bring those together and only have one upper hose, but since I was scratch building a rad anyway, I went with two. I still need to make that linkage piece.
  2. For the rear, I molded the sides of the roll pan to make it look more cohesive. Then I cut a slot at the bottom of the tailgate to also make the roll pan seem like a better fit. Overall, I'm okay with the rear styling, even though I would have preferred the stock rear tailgate and bumper.
  3. Behind the grill is going to show so I cleaned up that lower bit by adding styrene. If you recall, the front custom piece as well as the rear custom parts were really glued on and puttied and actually not straight or square, so I worked with what I had.
  4. I cut a tunnel and some tubs from junkpile pieces, like this floor. Then I fitted styrene sheet to create a bed floor with clearance for the bags to drop it down. Getting my fingers in to putty and sand was a bit of a problem, but I persisted and got it good enough.
  5. Wow, that's looking so much better now, great improvements!
  6. From the underside the firewall didn't meet the outer body panels. So I made up little pieces to fill that out. Fun stuff, probably not important but I like doing little things like this.
  7. I modified a firewall from the scrap heap and fitted it. I made a hinge and some under hood structure. Test fit, should be good enough. Grille is 3D printed '62 with the top and bottom center sections removed. Still working on that.
  8. I made these "things" to dress up the upper A-arms as they show under the hood. I scratch built a big aluminum rad to keep things cool. So here's where I'm at with this build: Cheers!
  9. R/C wheels and tires in the one inch size are perfect for 1/16th. I widened the wheels from that Nomad kit and made Jeep bolt patterns. Here's how the one inch R/C tires fit those. I know these aren't for you but they do have a wide assortment of tires in one inch size.
  10. I can't recall ever seeing that kit either, but man it looks like it'll be very cool built by you!
  11. I love saving glue bombs, and a '63 Riv is one of my favs, so I can't wait to see it!
  12. Oh that does impart luxury from that era, very nicely done!
  13. WOW! That looks great, nice interior work! Mine was, shall we say, not quite as nice!
  14. Looking so good, so sumptuous! I hope you'll have the picnic tables open with a jar of mustard?
