I have a set probably wont use. Do you want me to send you a photo of them under a ranger?

yes, they say Goodyear front runner on them. they are very skinny and not very tall. I just had a friend send me a photo of them.

KILLER!!!

Ive always wanted to build one of these as a landspeed car

I really wish I could get a photo of how well the interior fits inside the body!

tonight's mock up has a back story... saw a guy post on FB that he finally found one of these new in the box. I asked him if he'd be interested in selling me a pair of the headers, fenders and interior pieces. he said he'd gladly send me the pieces since he doesn't need them anymore...THIS showed up today...after I picked up my jaw, I went into harvest and mock up mode again. THE PLAN. I want to clean up one of the glue bombs and get it on the shelf. Im then gonna build one using a Revell body and nailhead, along with a pair of slicks and those chrome wheels from what I believe is an American Graffiti coupe

anytime!!! Per usual, I'm really digging what you're doing!

thank you! here's another 5 window (this one a drag city casting) for the mix and a 34 cabriolet I'm channeling and converting into a roadster. Thanks to @tim boydfor the idea of using the AMT 36 roadster cowl piece

I use to build traditional hot rods professionally, Left the industry for various reasons. I have a "9 to 5" fabricating mostly high end stainless work, as well as my own fab shop at the house. I miss it enough where Im thinking about going back on my own and building cars again under my shop name (Chabres Hot Rod and Fabrication, or CHRF) I also started a you tube channel that Covid kind of ended for a bit because when the pandemic hit both the Mrs and I ended up working like crazy due to shortages etc. If anyones interested I can post up some photos etc sometime.

Im really liking the sheen on the chassis! The whole project is coming together awesome!

KILLER!!! my favorite year galaxie!
