W-409 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 This will be interesting, A Friend for the '57 Chevy ProMod. I'll be watching this one very closely, you do excellent job with the frame. It looks very good already. What body is that, it looks like resin from the underside, but.......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadracer Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yep.....That's a great kit! And I'm liking your build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks Niko, and David... NIko, this is a resin body from flashpoint, it's a little warped in the back so I don't know how far I'm going with it.. I'ts not bad but we'll see.. Does anyone on here have any pics of Charles Carpetner's 55 ???.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooltas Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 i thought you would use the older revell kit pro sportman kit of CC world's fastess 1955 chevy but i see now he did some choping of his body then the revell must be his older body,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp1839 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 looking great, tyrone. i think i might have some shots of his fulton motor if you need them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubbs Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 nice job as usual Tyrone. funny how us modelers buy that carpenter kit, steal the chassis for a different build, the motor for another, who knows where the body goes, spend hard earned cash on a resin body, evergreen rod just to build the kit we completely tore apart !! sometimes i think the wife is right.... we ARE crazy!! oh yea, when is the resin motor coming???

tyrone Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Thanks fellas.. I've made a little progress on this one... I got the front firewall finshed up, the funny car cage is done.. I've also made some upper strut mounts, and I used the lower ones from a pro sportsman chassis in the parts box... After grinding the rear quarters to try and get the big slicks from pegasus to fit.. I decided not to use them on this one and use the ones from the kit... here's a few pics... MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! ... thanks for looking and comments welcome.... here's a pic with the pro sports body in the back ground...to show the difference...

tyrone Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thanks Bill, and Dave... Hope everyone had a great New Year... Since I'm giving the paint time to dry on the Chevy 2 I pulled this one back out... I've got the doors opened and hinged, and I've added some thin styrene strips to the doors and hood to make the gaps tighter.. thanks for looking and comments welcome...
