Dennis Lacy Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Awesome work on the suicide front axle set up! Hood sides are looking good, too. We need a new mock up with them in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris chabre Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) New to the forum, actually, Ive lurked for a few years, but decided to join since I have a 40 coupe Im building kind of similar. Back in 93, I saw Scott Colmers version of a fenderless 40 coupe drag car and fell head over heels in love with it...in Fact, I cut the photo out of the magazine and kept it safe..My 13 year old self said some day Id build it...Well, now Im almost 38, a few years ago I tracked down Scott and he modified one of his resin bodies for me and sent it on its way so I can scale the real car off of it. There will be some changes to the rear section of the body because I want to tuck the quarter, but other than that, it will be much like Scott designed it over 30 years ago. I worked at Rolling Bones from 05 to 07, and when we tucked the tail on Poteets 34, it transformed the car. a photo Scott sent me while he was doing my body Edited October 29, 2017 by chris chabre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 This looks great Rodney. I think the thing I like the most is that it is neither a 33 or a 36. It's a happy blend of both. No one model overpowers the others. That is quite a skill you have to make this thing look so balanced. The grille is growing on me so I will wait to see the finished article.

Rocking Rodney Rat Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thanks for your kind words, Alan. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with the grille shell yet, still cogitating on a few options... -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thanks for your kind words, Alan. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with the grille shell yet, still cogitating on a few options... -RRRHow about a MCG photo etched '36 grille bent to match the radius of your custom grille shell rather than shaped to fit a standard '36 shell? MCG's LaSalle grille would look good formed to fit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
