I'm going to go with my 67 Lemans project, This is the first time I have entered something like this! After posting the pictures I realized that the side chrome was completly wrong and so were the tailights so I started working on them yesterday. A quick update on the progress! Went with a new color, the side chrome is closer looking but not really accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbird McMonte Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Found 3 long lost bodies. If I remember correctly, they stalled while trying to scratch build bumpers for the green one. They need to be 71-72 style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mod3l Lover Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yes sir! Maybe 5 or 6 years on that one!! Ok, thanks. I will post up a few showing it's status for now, then where I'm going with it very soon. David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I guess this could qualify as a stalled project. I took this pic in 2015, and was expecting to start on a restoration then--and several times since--but have actually gotten little if anything done on it. It's a genuine survivor of mine, or what's left of it--first-issue MPC Mako Shark from 1966 or '67, painted in AMT Candy Oriental Blue. The paint is in horrible shape, but I'm not going to strip and repaint it, I'm keeping it as a relic of my teenage years. (I have a couple unpainted restorable glue bombs to do up good). The hangup has been the chassis--the original chassis was harvested 50 years ago for some other project. I was originally gonna slide it on a common AMT '63 Corvette reissue chassis, but that won't work. Second choice was to scratchbuild a simple slam/curbside-type chassis for it, which I keep putting off doing as too big a PITA. I just realized I might be able to get it on one of the glue bomb chassis (at least temporarily) without too much work, and have been putting forth effort in an attempt at such. We'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's pretty much what I've had in mind for MONTHS now, but the part I'm dreading is figuring out how to drill the axle holes to get them EXACTLY where I need them.

Eric Macleod Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The Duesenberg project is done. It should be posted under glass in a day or two. The next dead one may be a project that may be a record, I started it 38 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mod3l Lover Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I am going to (just for fun) start a thread for my '59 Corvette club racer build I guess!?! If I'm going have fun finally building it, I might as well share what I'm up to here! David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here it is, literally dragged out of the bottom of the pile. I started this one when I was 16, and my 54th birthday was 8 days ago, so nearly 38 years in the making. I have picked away at it ever since but my skill set has always lagged behind my vision for it. Since I started work Automodello produced a resin model so I was able to get ahold of a couple badly distressed parts cars. We'll see if I can get it over the finish line. Here is what I have today.
