bonehead23 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) I got this from a friend who got it from a friend who gave up on it.. Any veterans will remember how many BAD resin bodies were out there in the 80's...this be one of 'em, really crude but chopped nicely. I have a complete donor for the chassis and other parts...but this puppy will be a LOT of work!!! The body fits after some trimming, and some suspension bits from a Smoothster fit well, and a '63 Fuelie engine also fits. Onward!

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) No offense intended, but I think it might be less work to start with a pine cone. Of course, if you really enjoy a challenge, we'll all be pullin' for ya. Edited December 5, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonehead23 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 I know it is rough and a lot of work...but the stance is just right, and will improve with better wheels and lowering. No matter how rough, it is a '39 sedan and i don't have one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonehead23 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 The Pine Cone is coming along...lotta trimming, now the body fits. Then the Boydster chassis and fuelie 327 go into service...more later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonehead23 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Progress is slow and careful due to the brittle nature of this od resin body. I would like to know who made it but obviously there is nary a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
