Here are a few of my forgotten projects. Someday, I'll get back 'round to them but hey, it's much funner to start new ones than work on older ones, right???

'34 Fastback LSR

That started life as the ZZ Top Eliminator. As it sits in its box, it has a two-piece louvered belly pan, narrowed front frame to fit within the body, a substantially modified track T nose so that the wider part is on top, a Parts Pack blown hemi mated to a Ford Mark IV transaxle (mid engine, rear drive), a flip top panel on top, just like the name-sake HotWheel. I chopped the already chopped top and laid the windscreen back instead of cutting it down. It even has that huge intake scoop sticking out of the top. Started it for a HotWheels comunity build but life kinda got in the way.

this is a 34 ford I have been working on for some time now, It will have hubless wheels and will use an electric motor for motivation. I am thinking about a complete carbon fiber body using decals. I might finish this someday.

Brandon....... rust isnt that hard to do, especially what i did on that body.. a little practice and you could do it too.....

that build will be pretty much as is, and box stock except the detail parts i will add to it. im gonna do some of the body panels different colors, but nothing crazy.....i really havent decided yet.

cheers

This might set the record for stalled projects. I started this in the early 80's following a chop tutorial by Tim Boyd in Street Rodder Magazine. Nothing but testors tube glue and body putty in this one!

Thanks Brandon!

i think that panel truck kit is super hard to find now. i got lucky when i found this one, i traded some stuff for it......ill keep an eye out, and if i see one somewhere ill let you know.

i forgot to mention that the wheels in the pic with it are the ones goin on it, they came from a diecast car.

cheers
