I always liked the '35. I've got to see this.

It looks like you have the skill! Looks great 👍🏻

It's not the straight lines that are difficult.

Matt, I don't know how skillful you are at that sort of detail painting but if I had a good paint job on my Packard, I, personally, would not chance it. If you can pull it off, cleanly, it would be a big hit at the next show, for sure. That roadster is a show-stopper.

Find any money under the back seat? There's always money. And French fries. 🥴

Yup. What they said. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!

I'm told they're waiting for me on the other side 😌

The "normally closed" type are the worst. I don't even bother looking for those rockets. 🚀

And I'm thinking I you're having way too much fun with this one, Lenny. Party on!

I suppose that only worked for a short time anyway. Most of that stuff is just folk lore.

For a moonshine runner, wouldn't the radiator be in the trunk too?🥴

Good choice, Jeff. Basic black. I did one in satin black just to be different. I didn't have a hood so I just went without. A '40 is good any way you do it. 🥴

I wonder if the '62 chassis would work under there, Brian. 🤔 it wouldn't be correct but so what? 🥴

Everybody loves a '40, Jeff. Can't have enough. 😉

Yaaaaay! Another '40! 😃 That body looks real nice, Jeff. The Y-block is a great choice for a drag car.

How about "KINKY 6" ?

👍? 👎? 🤷‍♂️

No, Greg, Wifey has virtually no sense of humor. I'm glad you got the joke.

You can see the two colors together, Bil. How does it strike you?

I saw it as a quasi-"Ceed" frame rather than a penetration. A pipe sleeve going through boxed frame rails, welded on both sides, might actually make it stronger. Then you run the exhaust through that "sleeve". In reality, that could work just fine. I think about that stuff.

Atta boy, Lenny! Better than I imagined it. 👍

Well I finished the hinge job. Another hungry hippo to feed I closed up those ugly hinge slots a bit. Not enough. And then I did this in a flash of inspiration 👇 I had to put a plate somewhere so I was gonna maybe put that tubular nerf thing on the back but it just wouldn't look right so I kept the plate part and 💩-canned the tubes ....I like it. That's what's important. 😜 (gotta hide the plate light somewhere too 😉 ).

Yeah, there aren't any square riggers on the high seas emblazoned on baby moons in the aftermarket yet. Someday. 🤣

Just to stay on the front page, I figgered I'd just show youse that I haven't been completely idle. The paint disaster has taken me to a low point but there's still some movement forward. The early morning hours had me making a hinge for the couple's bonnet. The Revell firewall provides very generous openings for that purpose 🥴. Closing them up a bit was indicated. I didn't finish but I promise to do so sometime today. The wheels you see below are for this coupe which I plan to paint with Boyd's Grape Pearl, a personal favorite. The wheels are coated in Tamiya Coral Blue. I like these colors together. You may become ill just thinking about it. I don't know. I have these two finished cars sitting on my tool chest and they illustrate the combination well enough.👇 WDYT?

I have a clean, virgin AMT '62 Bel Air body and I'm looking for a solid, unblemished AMT '37 Chevy coupe body in trade. If we can help each other, let me know. I would be busting a complete kit, Cody, but I am willing to do that for this specific trade.
