I'm out east a bit... snowing 🌨...

I jumped into this a couple weeks back. I'm using the AMT '60 Ford pickup and the Foose '53-ish truck kit. I'm also using a '57 conversion from Texas 3D. The hood needs work, but he is remastering it. A lot of slice & dice work with all the woes along the way. I added the rear 4-link and have a bed interference. The bed is shortened 22 scale inches. I made the bed floor from diamond plate stock. Gas tank is a Norm Veber item. Wheels & tires from VCG Resins. The interior is done, less arm rests and window handles.

I make up a lot of my own parts too. Really the way to go with Frankenstein projects.

I have a few RB Motion parts, not enough to make anything good. I think he is still in business but hard to contact. I got a 3D Stock Car kit missing a bar, I made my own from .062" aluminum tube and a Ron Coon Resins rod end. He has a couple types that are handy for panned bars, etc. I think that some 3D parts have stresses locked into them. I had a big chunk bust off a modified chassis and land across the room. Took me 2 days to find it.

Friendly loveable Squirrels..

Hydrogen peroxide is chemically strong stuff, use it initially. I like Bactine going forward with cuts and scrapes. Best thing initially, warm soap and water, make it bleed if possible. -
31 with possible snow ❄️...

Sharp trick to slant the A pillar cuts and cut out the rear including the cat walk. I reinforce my splices using fiberglass fingernail wraps. Much thinner and thin CA glue holds it well.
-
Good tip on using aluminum to replace the 3D parts. I'll keep that in mind. Some of those parts are very fragile.
-
Very nice builds. The Indy-ish car was in the OWC class that I won 1st place. There is another show there in March in late March, the 28th I believe. Put on by the LISM club which is mostly military.
-
Post your award winning builds when you get a chance. Again. I wasn't able to get around to see too much.
-
I'm in... is that an Iceman chassis? Can't get much lower than that. I have a '60 Ford truck going with a Foose truck chassis under it. I'll start a thread later today.
-
It was nice to meet you too. I missed a lot of the builds, but nice to see you picked up some awards. I was very surprised that I got 3 myself.

Great new 3D vendor, Heath's Model Works LLC

They are quite delicate, so they prefer to assemble & chrome them. They fit any AMT tire and wheel back. -
This was one of their many new products. The wheels come assembled and chromed.

A huge shout out to a great new vendor.
