awsome !

great lines !!!!

very nicely done !

nice ~!!

just stunning !!!

my bad i missed the fact its awd lol I GET YOU NOW thought it was rwd

i love it ! great colors , engine .. i have one suggestion , no ment like being a critic ...: here i go , wheel wise i dig the rims ... but the front wheels are the same width as the rear ones , tyre wise the same ... what would be ubercool imo is to use the centers of the front rims and eliminate the wider ring , put the center as a rim in a narrow tyre .. and get the staggered look .. uber wide in the rear and normal size in the front or at least less wide as the rear ... then maybe of possible lower the front just a tiny bit .. i think it would be perfect then .. again just a suggestion / ment well

cool !! looks great

cool project !

awsome !

cool i love the look !

mannnn stunning stuff !!

love the underside !

yes indeed , i have to think about material though .. i still have not looked for some nice soldering equipment , i have a solder thing but thats on/of one temp with a big iron end ... i still have to look into what sort of soldering iron / thing i need and what kind of material and flux or no flux ... i can easely make it from styrene or plastics but i dont have thin rod material .. especially on a roof rack its important not to go to thin or too thick to get a convincing look .. but yes will be very cool to add and make real wood boards in them spaced ... ps i would have liked to do the roof in weathered paint .. but that wasnt realistic in the sense they never have painted roofs in the first place , could have looked cool though ...

sorry i missed your reply yes i know , atm its more a connection to change the direction motion wise rather then a steering box .. sanded that box down to almost a flat thing .. maybe not 100% right and thnx yes could be cool to make it into a push vehicle ! i def. tried my best to keep away from the surf theme .. thats what most of these look like ..

thnx bob .. well it still hurts but i managed to do some stuff and when it hurt too much i stopped .. so in a few days i got the woody 99 % finished i cleaned up a lot and added all the tiny details , all the chrome on the outside is now painted chrome , the small items like the doorhandles , hubcaps , mirrors and license pate holde are painted after i put them on , with a hand brush the 5.0 v8 , put some black plastic mesh around the airfilter , looks better then the cloth tape . added real rubber waterhoses (ear phone wire mantle) , vacuum hoses and other wiring . still to do : battery and a master brake cilinder i build a search light out of a small light housing and a steel needle pin , wich really gos inside to the cab rear tailgate handles are from a ferrari gto , kit ones where not there (incomplete glue bomb) , i drilles holes in teh tailgate and made freched taillights there .. exhaust done , the pipes from te headers are made from sprue , used mufflers from my stash and made mall bend pipes behind the mufflers added brake lines (is a small diamerter spring like wire) and made a fuelline from a small guitar string , ribbed a few outdoor shots mabe a nice chrome roof rack would look cool ?

sorry for the late reaction ....thnx a lot !!

thnx bob ! i cant do anything atm i have a heavely brused wrist after i fell ....oo0000 lol

love it !

aaah cool ! one that is high on my wishlist , love this kit

got everything dryfitted ... perfect mix between patina-ed and a tight undercarridge one thing bothered me , the underside of the transmission , its the ford automatic but i could not fit the oil pan .. it looked fake , too blue and too flat .. now everything got its fixed place i was able to make it a tad lower and make a notch for the bell housing .. a good compromise , sure it sits to far forward now ...but its better then without the oil pan .. and it has plenty of ground clearance still

So i arrived at the point where it all starts coming together ! a lot of dryfitting , removing some paint but it all fits very well , always a exiting moment when you change around so much and it needs to go together dryfit of the chassis , driveshaft is in , i love the contrast between the satin black of the chassis and the matte tubs put the engine in the chassis and dryfitted the chassis with engine put in the first exhaust parts , carefully glued because the chrome paint is easely affected by glue ...i still need to fabricate the rest of the exhaust , i figured it was better to make it when its together and the first sections are fixed into place .. it will not be a long exhaust , maybe some small mufflers on the pipes i have now and then a short piece bending down facing the ground

engine is coming together ... the chassis and wheels all together loads of stuff to make ... master brake cilinder , alter one and put it on the firewall , brakelines , vacuum hoses , hoses to the throttle body and wiring to the ring just in front of the air cleaner ...brake discs etc etc

chrome / silver details

thnx guys !! chassis is dry now and satin .. its smooth !! surface is really smooth came out better then expected since it was a gluebomb and the chassis was painted without primer and when that came of it needed a lot of work .. the drive shaft in chrome first pieces of exhaust pipe , the bends connect to the headers and then go trough the frame .. distributer , start of it , painted the cap red
