wauuww going to be sweeeettt !!!

i was a fan of this build from the start and man you really stepped to the plate with this one ..pfft its stunning !! please ad some close ups fromt th interiour and details and the engine

thnx and yes this is the set up , def will keep the flathead in , that will get a majour overhaul , only will use the block , carbs and the valvecovers , the rest i will make or .... already thinking about colors ... hard options > metallic green body with metallic green or white steelies (off white with a wash so they dont become one with the white walls) rust base and then salt and then some color and have like a worn paint , my favorite and bright colored steelies (like red or green) just a dull color (read not bright) with some inperfections here and there and colored steelies ... cant deside if i will go for a real metallic color or make it more rough ... in this set up i like them better a bit rough and ....worn and ...alright i'd say it ratty

stunning engine !! and knowing you i bet the body and the rest will be very tasty will watch this one 4 sure

awsome kit , would love to get my hands on that .. love the build very clean and colors are cool not ment offensive but the metal axle / rod in front .. hmm not the best choise (?) would be way nicer if it looked a bit more realistic , what i mean is the rod looks toy like , again not ment badly

whoooouuwwww just stunning and make some close up pics from the interiour and engine in under glass , must see that

nice job !

pfft nice job

hmm looking great !! will def follow this one

haha thnx guys for the nice replyes

thnx and yes it really fun to build like this and those trusses , yes i really wanted someting unique in the front , because i had to use round sprue bars . i just had to make something that looked appeiling and yes i knew just didnt think of calling it frenching lol thnx !!!

hey tom !! awsome kit i build that one myself the exact same kit , just a beautiful cast .. looking sharp already !! curious on the rest

awsome to watch , would love to try this myself

thnx , great comliment i love your builds alo , but i have some other cool projects on the shelf , caddilac station , a ford bronco , a bmw old car kinda rod like , so when i'm doing those you do a ratrod again haha thnx !! well its finally coming together and although there is still a lot of work its now becoming a car the biggest pain was getting the movable steering in place and fit the steering rod , pffftt that was fiddely and the cast quality of those was so bad .. lots of sanding small mm pins ... this pic really shows the front suspension , axle .. already cleaned it up a bit , need to make some mounting brackets and find some suitable shocks to put in i just love this shot myself , inside the holes for the taillights i will put some bullet shaped lights from a caddilad , they will sit in kind of sunken and the point just sticking out the hole , just like i saw on a real one still need to chop and alter the radiator and grille frame .. but i put them loosely in to see how much clearance i had .. at one point i was affraid the frame was to short but luckely the steering rod clears and i can still get pullys and a fan on the engine , then its all packed in real close and nothing hits , just what i wanted no big gaps or room made a trans mount from a old revell version seen from the bottom with the engine i will have to make more of a transmission becuase this one ..hmmzzz

http://www.oude-station.nl/ now dont shoot me right away , te following update seems odd maybe but i am conviced i will get everything into shape .. i used roundbar from sprue to make the front chassis base , this can be sanded into shape easely the rough first set up , just glued no sanding yet where it sits on the old chassis i will shape it more and most will be out of eye sight made struts from the chassis to the front axle and set the axle on the correct hight , the plan was to make a plate in front of the chassis but to be hounest if i would have raised the front chassis secion so the leaf spring top would sit flat with the front of the chassis it would have looked so weird . instead i made a raised block on the chassis , this will get more detail later on , as well as plates for shocks also dryfitted the whole set up on the actual ride hight , with wooden pins under the body and chassis , so this will be the stance and hight of the whole .... now i need to shape / sand and bondo everything

very very cool and great masking and brushing .. secretly i would love to see this one in a flat color with some weathering but thats just taste , just go crazy

whow > just whow :wub:

cool progress !! cool progress !!

yeah thats cool and the details are great , love the rag in the fuel filler opening ...

awsome , that engine bay ... looks so good !!

whow what a build !! those hinges are stunning , awsome mods and build !1!

nice start !!

cool will take a look and yes thats very neir my house , i also found there is a big shop in papendrecht ... want to take a look there also , beats going to rotterdam city ... thnx and yes already cut if you look at the pics above on one you can see the chassis is cut in the front and the front section is gone

wanted to look for some reference and idea's and say your thread and loved the bag idea .. and well thats about the way it happened you start to cut more and more but i just dont have any styrene anymore and i seldom buy some .. for me the fun is also to use stuff out of the box and use scrap materials .. although with fresh bought styrene you can def. do more and .. will def. buy styrene in the future and really build what i want .. i now have to get creative for the front of the chassis , i cut of the front but need more length , luckely i have some scrap kits so i hope when i dig through the boxes i find just the right amount of material ...
