ChevyCoupe41 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Okay, its been long time since i did any kind of hot rod build but now its going to be change. The kit is Lindberg's '34 Ford Pick up. I got this one from my dad and it was fresh kit. This is going to be 50's style hot rod so the engine will be Chevy 348 which is from Amt '59 El Camino. Wheels and front tires are from this kit and the rear tires are from my parts box. I also filled that hole of fender because it looks so ugly to me. It need some bondo and work but slowly it going to be ready for paint. Wheels are going to be red and body color could be semigloss black. Anykind of shine body color will not be preclued so some ideas of color are welcome. Here's couple of pics what is going now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartster Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 You're starting with a neat combination of parts. I'll watch to see where this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 This looks very interesting so far, I'll be watching this one for sure. Wheel and tire choice is perfect, and I like what you've done for the spare tire cover (or what it is), since I removed that too on my build.

ChevyCoupe41 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks fellas! Small update. Wheels are painted and i painted to front tires whitewalls. I also painted some engine parts with silver like valve covers, carburetors, intake manifold and transmission. Now i had to put plug wires and fuel line before that I can finish the engine.

Dr. Cranky Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Great progress, looking forward to more. Best, DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 How about slicks with white walls? They would look very good. Anyway, you did awesome job with the front tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyCoupe41 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks! That's not bad idea at all to paint those white walls to the slicks. Thanks for that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyCoupe41 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Okay yesterday evening i did the fuel line to engine and painted tohse white walls to rear tires. I'm very happy to result.
