gasser59 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 You're making great progress on this and I can't wait to see more. Glad to see that you're trying and learning new things on this build. Keep at it Niko. This will be a killer build when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustybill1960 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 GREAT looking build Man! Your multimedia use in the build work is fascinating! Thank You for sharing Got an eye on this one!! Thank You for sharing Later Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Thanks, everyone! It has been a little break with this, but maybe I'll continue this build soon. I also have new Ranchero kit, I'm building. But I must give some attention to Falcon too. Maybe I should try gluing that rear frame on the chassis...

W-409 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Finally update, but very small one... I painted the engine block, just because now I can see better, if it needs still some more bondo. And yes, it needs a bit bondo, but not much anymore. Next I need to cast timing chain cover, water pump, cylinder heads and stuff like that. Hopefully I can get more updates soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Sorry Fellas, progress has been very slow on this build. Today I finally managed to get it back on the bench, and I decided to modify those rear wheels a bit. Pro Sportsman tires with those narrow Centerlines didn't look good, so I took one American Racing Torq Thrust wheel what was really wide, and after a bit of sawing and sanding and superglue, I ended up as this. I'm gonna make resin copies of that. Not sure, who will cast those wheels though, but lets see that later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedge Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 This will look good when finished, nice work on the casting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Great work here Niko. LOVE how you made the rear suspension clip, looks like it's straight from a catalog. Nice work. The rear wheels look better with bigger dish too mate, much better. Looking forward to seeing this come together for you mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thanks Kane, and Greg! The rear frame is glued to the chassis. Needs to cover those holes with styrene though, they are bit oversized since I didn't know, what position is correct one for the rear frame. Well it's not that hard to cover them, so that made gluing job much easier. Next some more chassis building, I need to find great Rear axle somewhere...

crazyjim Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Nice, Niko. I'm building the '64 Falcon kit and can't believe how high it sits with the kit suspension, wheels & tires. Terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Thanks, Chris, Joe, Jim, Floyd and John! I guess, this car wont have that chassis problem, as Jim's Falcon. I hope you manage to clear those issues, and get your Falcon stance set right. I casted some engine parts, and they came out OK. I'm going to test fit those tomorrow, and then I can see what have to be modified, but I'm pretty happy about how they turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Not much done since the latest update, but I managed to do little work yesterday (on Friday). I glued the interior floor to the chassis, and door panels are installed too. Those door panels can be removed, if necessary but they are glued so I can mock up the chassis to the body. Also painted those resin engine parts, intake manifold, and cylinder heads. I installed them too, but I must do some little smoothing still. And other valve cover is still missing, but needs to find one. The Gear Box is still under construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
