Way cool!!! Those looks great!

OK, so I ask again, How on earth did you manage that? :twisted:

Appearently Mr. Hadley was having electrical problems with his truck. Turned out he pinched a cable to ground when he was installing a new battery. I've swapped batteries in a similar year Chevy truck...how on earth did he manage to do that?? :shock: Way to go Mark!! :mrgreen:

Is that chassis scratch built?

No Jeff & Jimmie pics, but we are keeping Mark away from any batteries...

wow - those carburators are awesome!!

Nice build!!

very nice work!!

Beware...Sparky is on the prowl...

As long as they keep the stock parts in em, bring em on!

Great build Izzy - perfect color, and the details bring it to life!

cool pick-em-up!!

Be nice if the '87 Thunderbird has a clear tail light instead of transparent red... Wonder what they did to make the '93 Cobra a 2n1?

That's wild!! Excellent work!

what a great build!! I can't wait to see what else you have up yer sleeve!

Very nice work - can't wait to see this one finished!

Nice build!!

You should be using a respirator with any of the paints you've been shooting. I use a disposable 3M respirator I picked up from the local auto paint supplier for around $25.00. It's good for 15 hours of use, just keep it sealed in a ziploc bag between paint sessions. For a few bucks more, you can get a respirator with replaceable cartridges. Just make sure the cartridges are approved for paint and other VOC. Brian

Very nice work, as usual!!

Oh man, that is nice!!!

Cool lookin' Deuce!!

Nice!!

Making a wood bed for a model isn't that much different than a 1:1. For this project, I used some 1:32" basswood, and some Evergreen 1/16" U channel. Grandt Line bolts are optional. The pickup in this demo is the Monogram '40 Ford pickup. First, the materials: Measure the width of the bed, and decide haw many planks and spacers you want. For the '40, I went with six planks. To fit them properly, the two outer planks had to be just a tad wider than the others. Cut the channel to length, and if you are going to have an opening tail gate, you can cut a cap for the ends of the planks for a more finished look. Here it is shown in place without the bed, and with the bed in place. To finish it off, add small bolt heads to the channel where any cross supports are placed under the bed floor. Stain and finish the wood as you wish, and use BMF or Alclad II for the spacers. Brian Edit: moved pics to a new server.

Cool - what's gonna be between the fenders?

Welcome aboard!! Now, POST SOME PICS!!
