Call this a slight diversion while waiting for some paint to arrive at the hobby shop...
I just wasn't diggin the chassis as it came in the kit, so I dove into the parts bin, and this is what I have so far. I wanted to lower the car, but not so much it looked impractical for a 1:1. To get there, I cut the front clip in half, and spliced in the crossmember and spring pockets from a Monogram '65 Corvette chassis, and added the 9" axle from the Revell '32 Ford.
After that I dove back in the parts bin and came up with some rear shocks, front springs, sway bar and a tie rod that I think is from the Monogram '40 pickup. Not sure if I am gonna keep the tierod, gonna do a little "kit pickin" to see what else I an scare up. I also had to remove the kit oilpan and use a rear sump pan from the parts box.
And that get's the car to this point. The tires are leftover from the Revell '50 Ford pickup. The front will come down just a tad when it's finally glued together. Right now I'm thinking Tamiya TS-60 lt pearl green for the body color, need to find a decent color for the interior and wheels.
