Jantrix Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Well gang I've never really gotten rolling on this and and I've got yet another move coming up, so I'll just bow out now. My modelling ADD and a mild video game addiction has really kept me from accomplishing much this year. I'll be keeping the beer cool at the finish line and I'll toast the first one there. Peace.

Lunajammer Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So retro Frank. Silver with dark red interior was such a common combo back then, it looks so authentic. Nice work. Don't forget to post your photos for the call to the starting line after Dec. 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1/24DragAndStreetCars Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I decided to use one model for two community builds. I made a flatbed for the 77 gmc, putting, of course, A Hemi! (Soon) I making for A hauler. Steering wheels is just position I took it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 MOAR UPDATEZ! I scratchbuilt the "bare" door panel for the one side before I put it away, and had yet to do the rear one, and the other side. So for some reason I just felt intimidated by it, and when I would work on the car, I found I always had a stopping point because there was nothing left to do before weathering/rusting the parts.... except build my bare door panels. I dont know why I avoided it for so long, but I forced myself to finish them yesterday. I sort of rushed them because my hands were hurting and I had a headache but the end result was pretty pleasing. I dont think I'm done w/ them just yet 100% but they're really close. Sorry about the blurry last pic, I could NOT get my camera to focus. Also the car is a flatter/matter color, the hood was reshot to a darker blue as well. I still have lots of weathering to do to the body/chassis/interior but once that is done, this build should go quick. I also worked on the stance a little, and found the proper wheel/tire combo that suites the car. The tires are from the classic Revell '32 Ford 3W kit, and the wheels are from the '69 Dodge Daytona 2n1 that came out many years ago that had the nascar-like parts. The wheel backs for the front were shaved down to fit in the narrower tire to be used w/ the narrower wheelback, and the rears were shaved down ever so slightly, barely noticeable. I also cut out the "dust cap" on the rear wheels... since there is no spindle/hub bearings on rear axles. aaaaand a quick mock up to amuse myself....

1/24DragAndStreetCars Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Almost finished Just got the wheels and the hemi to be put on/in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I brought the tail end of the charger down last night. I didnt like how high it sat. Was not matching the stance of the real car. If this car gets finished soon... I may bring another car or two into the running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Got a little more done last night on general mayhem... painted the chassis, interior tub, axle and leaf springs, firewall, core support, bottom of hood, hood scoop, and grille with the iron surfacer, and then let them dry for a few hours. Went back and covered them all with the rust solution. Bagged em, and will check em tonight when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
