NOBLNG Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Since this suspension is taking longer than I figured, I mixed up some sprue glue to fill the seams on the chop. It should have plenty of time to set.🥵 I am trying to use the rear tires I cast from the AMT ‘67 Chevelle. They are a little big but…I have nothing else close.🤪 I don’t like those rims though, so I widened the ones from the MPC ‘34 Slammer kit and cast them too. I figured I would need a very narrow center section because of the tubbing, so I scratch built a quick-change rear for it. It looks a lot bigger under the vehicle (I scaled it down off of a schematic) than when I was building it? Due to the channeling, I have to lower the entire rear end with the body and it looks too high in the back I think, so I may wind up radiusing the rear wheel arches.

NOBLNG Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 I think I like the look with fenders better. I may have to narrow the rear frame a bit more to get them under there. So much for the old saying “measure twice…cut once”.😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBLNG Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Well I decided to make a new rear frame section for this to gain some room for suspension and a touch more tire clearance. I plan to thin down the rails a touch yet, as they are a bit too beefy looking. I also managed to get the rear fender widened and tubbed. I plan to bob them a bit yet, but I want to get the axles mounted and ride height set before deciding how much. That’s all for now!

NOBLNG Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) A couple of mock-up photos. I’m not sure if I like that sectioned radiator shell, but I guess that’s the way it’s gotta be unless I start re-locating things?
