MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. WOW! That looks great, nice interior work! Mine was, shall we say, not quite as nice!
  2. Looking so good, so sumptuous! I hope you'll have the picnic tables open with a jar of mustard?
  3. Those were remarkably accurate little models, and I see you adding "glass", nice!
  4. So with the rear end installed and the engine and transmission mounts added, I could make a driveshaft. I had this one in the junk pile, looks like it's from a Thunderbolt kit. I file near the ends because it's easier to hold that way, before I cut the ends off. I leave the thinned out parts attached so they push into aluminum tubing. So now I have a quick and easy driveshaft of the proper length.
  5. Here's the frame set up for a Chevy, so those motor mounts or transmission mount won't work. I cut off those motor mounts and moved them up front to line up with the 302, and I made a transmission crossmember for the 4 speed.
  6. Using parts box stuff I found a cool boss 302! But why did I choose an engine with a seam down the oil pan?? Oh well, I cut it off because the front sump wont clear the dropped suspension. And I had to add styrene scraps to build back material removed by cutting. So now that I have the rear sump and oil pan reversed, I can see if those motor mounts work.
  7. I made some smooth 24s from chrome custom parts box rims. Painted them Tamiya white primer and clearcoat. Added Revell '57 Ford caps with the white decals and turned aluminum valve stems from RB Motion.
  8. I fought with the custom front and rear bodywork but ended up putting it away quite some time ago. I did open up the slots under the hood. But now that the kit is re-issued, I brought it back to the "shop"
  9. I chose the Foose Caddy frame, so now I'll have to highly modify it to fit the pickup. First I made air bags from thick sprue. Then I fitted them to a parts box rear end that was the proper width. I scratched up some 4 links and, well it's a start!
  10. I got this old junker for free and tore it apart. My only disappointments are NO glass and it has the custom front and rear permanently glued on, with a LOT of glue! I won't be using much of it but I wish I could've had the stock front and rear even though I have "plans" for it.
