Reeves Racing Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Nice work. I would buy that kit for the wheels and tires alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genegenie Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Yes, I'm liking this thread too - and giving it a mild hot rod rake, improves the stance. Excellent start ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankerdog Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Love the stance. Check out the interior door panel lining up with the exterior door panel. I had to do some interior chopping to get the door edges to line up on mine. That is a sweet kit, I wouldn't hesitate having a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Check out the interior door panel lining up with the exterior door panel. Thanks for the tip Kent, I did not noticed until your message. That is by the way a huge fail from Revell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) I had to do some interior chopping to get the door edges to line up on mine. How did you solved this Kent, did you moved the doorpanel backwards? Schould they line up with the outside edges?

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Looks really good. I personally prefer the channeled look (like yours) over the typical highboy, and I think you've hit the best stance for a representation of a real-world, drivable car. Nice work on raising and fitting the floor and tunnel too...which is exactly what you have to do when you build a real car like this.

Dinky Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Advice needed?? Is it strange if the rod goes behind the body or is it better to shorten them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I say shorten them. It looks odd having them back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Thanks James, I agree this looks strange. Im going to shorten them that they end just before the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) you could shorten them but this is the other option i mentioned yesterday , made a quick photoshop for you > or ... place the axle more towards the front ... usually that also looks really cool axle further forward > Edited December 26, 2013 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Thanks Rich, to be honest it looks better on the picture than I thought it would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) yes i know , also when you do it for real you can make a nicer round shape in the cabine .. you can even add a round styrene edge on the sawed out earea and make it look like it was always sobtw i updated the post with a nother cool option ^^ Edited December 26, 2013 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Funny I thought about moving the axle forward also ;-) Going to try some things after my breakfast Thanks for the ideas!!

Dinky Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Issue solved I got another 32 Ford (Coupe) and that one has short rod's, Tried the long ones on the Coupe chassis and they fit so im going to exchange them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 whell thats the best solution yes haha nice .. btw can you loosly moch up the body / chassis with the axle on the table , then put a wheel standing at the place it will sit on the front axle and take a pic from the side ?? curious on the wheelbase and looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks for the tip Richard, I got a small update on the Roaster I changed the corners (more round) of the chassis and added some attachment points. What do you guys think of my radiator mount, its only test version and suggestions are welcome And one from the side for Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpletcher55 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I like that you have the radiator mounted so it is even with the body,that mount is cool ,i,m liking this build, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The grill attachment point is a good idea. I would thin and round it a bit so it's not quite so visible, however, perhaps so most of it conforms to the shape of the grille, and/or is hidden by it. The rounded corners on the chassis helps give it a more finsihed look. The stance is killer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinky Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks Bradley, cool to see you chassis. It looks great!! I was not happy with the radiator mount so I made another version, this is much better if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
