mrm Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 So I finally took some pictures of the model, altho it was finished about a year ago. A quick recap: The chassis uses stretched frame rails from the Revell's '32 3 window. All the cross members, other than the most forward one were scratch built. The fenders were stretched and the step panels filled. The front part of the body uses part of Revell's Dan Fink Speed Wagon and the rear part is very modified rear section of the Boothill express. Front and rear suspension has the main parts of the Revell '32 kit. everything else is pretty much scratch built, aftermarket or very modified. OUR RIDE STARTS WHEN YOURS ENDS Full progress here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=52441&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djflyer Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I dig this one, looks layed out well. Like the streched out look, glad you decided to undertake this project. corpus delecti. Very cool build - especially like the logos on the clear back panels. Is that painted or decal? Not sure, but it might even look better without the side hoods.
