crazyrichard Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 just started a new kit after finishing the other 32 ford . spend a hour and got a nice start , just started and not sure what its going to be exactly .. a bit rougher and very very low the boxart flattened the whole front of the cab there was a molded strip for the front windscreen drilled some speedholes , fixed the panlels to the inside of teh body and flattened the edges kind of matches the dash channeled body and the axle will be higher up > low low low fitting bucket seats instead of a bench
crazyrichard Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 well i wanted something unique and a while back i found this really old pic of a racer drilled full of speedholes .. i wanted to use that theme but in a more fancy way so it will become like a barely street legal drag / racer . paint is going to be bare metal , sound wierd paint > bare metal but hey we use styrene lol using real alunimium zink spray , its paint with metal parts in it back in the day pic i found the wheels , rims are out of a amt corvette gasser kit with some tyres from the partsbox and the rear tyres of this kit speedhole time , trying to keep it normal and not do to much holes folowed the rear side line
Draggon Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I like how low it is, and those custom T-Bird buckets look great!
Johnny1973 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 The 32 is going to look great when completed.Alot of detail work.looking good so far.
plastikjunkie2 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 looking good heres some of the beasts im working on ..first chop came out better than i expected.. and the other is the new stacey david duece which has the seats with the look you going for on your interior..
codie27 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 This is gonna turn out awesome. great work so far!!
vintagedragfan Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 this is looking way cool all ready Richard!
crazyrichard Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 thnx guys !!!!!! and @ plastikjunkie2 those look awsome !!!
Davewilly Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Looks pretty cool....and like lots of work drilling all those holes!
crazyrichard Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Looks pretty cool....and like lots of work drilling all those holes! thnx and well not really its something that takes little time .. what does make it tricky is to position the drill right .. i tried messuring but got bored very quickly , the curves are not really ... so i drew a small pen line straight and eye balled the distance between the holes .. not accurate as you would have when messuring , but .... its kind of gives it soul , because i do want this to be not perfect and not exactly spot on also going bare metal on the body .. its not that i'm saying all the holes are off but they are also not perfect btw i will not do a whole lot more then this i dont want it to look like the exampe ....thats to much bondo-ed the airvent on the front of the cab and the holes for the window pillars also placed the firewall , placed it way more upwards and i will change the center later on also bondo-ed the corners of the dash , there where gaps due to not following build instructions lol some flattening and did some speedholes on the front Edited February 11, 2013 by crazyrichard
crazyrichard Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 very rough update , front is full of bondo , did some interiour work , just the forst set up of smooth sheets drilled the rear edge , that is a bit sunken and i want to ad a edge on the doors so the side holes also become sunken / with depth the rear holes i drilled with my powerdrill in the car on the pics i see they are all off .... but irl its not that obvious and luckely the seats will hide most holes there
freakshow12 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I like where this is headed Richard. very nice
Duntov Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Some very inventive work here...... I like where you are going here and I will be very interested to see how it all looks when finished....
crazyrichard Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) well finshed all the speedholes . first of all not all are perfect position wise , if i could do it over i would first mark all holes with a marker en pre punch them with a steel needle ... would take 3-4 times as much time but then it would be perfect now i dont think its really a big issue , most are pretty good only screwed 2 up in the chassis by being to enthousiastic and wanting to do it too quick but when you guys see the fonish of bare metal and the shading i think it will be fine a previeuw of the idea of the bare metal , here is a deuce i did before and this was the second stage of the aluminium paint with some rubbing and sanding > that one got some flyrust over the whole body on this one i want just the bare metal effect , hope i can do it the second time . also will try to add more detail in the paint with tiny darker specs .. started today with the bucket seats and drilled some holes in the sides in the car then did the chassis and the grille !! tbh i cant find anything else speedhole related other then this one and the one in my first post grille and chassis very loose rough mock up just to see ... all the parts are not really in place i have this flat head v8 .. what do you guys think use this with some brass stacks on top or do a more modern , more powerfull v8 ? some pre-shading of the panellines because after the aluminium paint its hard to rub off excess paint it works on the paint Edited February 12, 2013 by crazyrichard
horsepower Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 you might think about taking a larger drill bit, & "countersinking" the "speed" holes from the back side, do this by hand slowly just enough to thin out the body shell around the hole to make it look like it's actually sheetmetal.
crazyrichard Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 thnx all !! and at horsepower i now what you mean , the ones on the rear need that yes ..and i will def. do that
crazyrichard Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 well drilled the holes on the rear from behind with a bigger drill like mentioned oabove and now it looks way thinner the started work on "the interiour" used a styrene airplain missile as base for the tunnel and then shot some holes in them with my ......uuuhhmm drill on the front at the end of the tunnel i will close it up need to sand the inside of every hole with a fine round file , added new smaller seats removed the sides that where like arm rests cant be too comftable , it needs to go fast not ..... had a lot of lenght inside so i kept the seats a tad forward instead of right against the rear

What did you use to keep the holes/starter holes lined up so perfectly?
