Badass

It was of some help thank you but..still hard to tell. I've been searching for redline tires for some time now and they appear to have four different types.. I suppose I can modify a chosen wheel to accept them..but what are the widths? I like to use slightly wider tires on the back...like say..a 275-60-15. Another example..they have a whitewall tire called a "1959 amt" and appears quite similar in size to their "nascar" wheels. Just saying..be nice to have a measurement of width and outside diameter. It would take all of ten minutes to do it.

They dont post any pics of the contents. I cant see anything anyway. I wish also they listed measurements of the wheels and tires so you know what your getting.

Nevers knew this one could look so good. badass.

Will it stay a hardtop?

Gotta get me some of those "brass bolts" . You don't remember the size you say?

I agree...the coupe deville was king of the heap in 1961 as far as I am.concerned..

Badass color

I would like to see those rally wheels done in 17"or 18". The finnish on those looks badass. Alclad magnesium? What you need for basecoat?

Suggestion. Next time try "wrapping wire" for plug wires. Little more to scale. But keep those wires yougot. They might make great heater hoses.

Huh? My bad. Thats the carb that came with..thats the only way it fitted. Should have took note of that..but probably would have kept it like that anyway. It wont be seen with the aircleaner on.

The gear shifter is the one that was in the box with everything else. I just snipped away the plastic rod with steel wire. I did add some extra ribs to the rubber part. Just filed plastic rod to a oval shape and sliced it.

And so it begins....

Few weeks aeay.?

I agree freakshow. I really wanted plymouth rally wheels but the ones I wanted are 1:24 so I had to grind them to reduce the diameter and did not turn out that good. But they are temporary until I find proper 1:25 steel wheels without the slots. I remember having a set but threw them away not thinking I would have any use if them.

Good color

Thats a good idea BelugaWX.. I knows some tricks but I don't know if they the fastest way to do things.

Originally painted the hubcaps metalizer "aluminum" what the heck was I thinking? Did one in chrome. Clearly it looks better

Awesome...just wondering mr.obsessive...before you finish the carb linkage..could you take some progress shots? I really need to know how you build these and what you use to connect them. And also what you use as screws on coil brackets and what not.

Thanks. Means alot. Bisc63..its not flocking..only gold embossing powder clearcoated with flat paint. And Fulltimehobyist..its a piece of steel wire. I think I drilled a hole in the old knob and glued the wire to it. I dont think straight pins will bend. They just snap when I try to bend them anyway.

Looks better without the chrome side trim. Only thing I would change is the red to tripple black!
