i had one 32 ford grille left .. will make the shell rusted like the body with a chrome grille one thing i dont have is a front axle so i will have to make something myself ..probl. will make a cross leaf spring version .. just because its cool !

cool !

hmm didnt like the wheels so tried this > ps this engine is not going in .. also wont put a blower on it .. will be more traditional ... i dont know what it is with this build but every time i'm in doubt or dont like it as much .... holding on though ...

awsome !!

hmm after posting the previous post i just hated the rims .. also the rears looked too massive so after looking through my stash i found these noce chomes .. could fit them in the rear rim .. leaving that so the diameter was still correct , altered the width for the front and voila .. looks way better and less ratty .. so now i can put in a shiney engine ...

i was playing with some wheel idea's , the rear tyres are big and no normal rim would fit , so i had to make a custom rim for that tyre choice after the same paint and powder as the scalops on the body i put on ford caps and washed in the letters with black . i dont like it yet i might do a two tone on the blue rim edge rough idea of the whole with a engine , not the engine that def. will go in just pulled one out of the partsbox for this pic

thnx guys !

whow clean work !!!

nice ! love the trunk and magnet !!

hmm cool kit !!

very nice

looks great

cool

started some random "screwed" on brakeline brakets ..

well finally its coming together a bit ... i feel now the detailing started it comes more to life and everytime i play with more tones and stuff added a brake booster in the chassis with a rod going directly to the pedal via a hinge ... put a brakeline on already other side needs to be linked ..

thnx guys !!

repainted the chassis black to clean it up again

thnx guys made the cables a bit more visible again and brushed the black so it not so smooth and a tad less glossy rusted the diff cover and rusted the floor so the chassis pops more .. now later i will toutch up some things more .. like the bottom edges of the cab .. they are bare again because it sits on the bench .. after assembly i will cover the edges in rust again

thnx guys ! finished the tunnel and added some wiring and then sprayed it with primer followed by black ... this is only a base washes and stuff will follow .. some chrome painted parts that will get a wash also ..... some wiring along the chassis more will come i think these big size white walls will be cool in the back body will siot a tad higher from the ground eventually , only a loose mock up

hi jason , whell if you make dents its wise to do so while its on the chassis or lets say doors or hood .. because then you know it wil fit tegether if you first dent the body you could have a non fitting underside / chassis but that all can be done in mockup / styrene stage the deeper parts often are when you put more structure on the surface using powder .. you could even put glue on earea's and mildly trow fine sawdust over it to create a crusty surface .. al depends on how ratty / rusty and damaged it has to be and no i dont seal it because that can affect the powder and it doesnt rub off if you handle it .. sometimes maybe a small spot or along a edge but you can always toutch that up ...

cool !!

went on with scrapbuilding lol very rough stuff needs loads of filing and sanding .. the beige axle struts will be changed i had to cut the crossmember and so i will make better ones from the axle to .. the frame made a tunnel from a pen , its clear stuff so now without paint it doesnt show real good dryfitted a driveshaft should be cool to keep this lenght and keep the engine like this so the tranny is more under the firewall and that creates room and it would be not so cramped in all ....... bit longer wheelbase with a axle mounted up front ??

thnx guys !! and whell i must be hounest i should just invest some money in the future and buy evergreen styrene when building a chassis .. its cool to make it from scraps and from all types of plastics but one day i want to make like a perfect chassis

added a floor above the axle assembly following the curve of the chassy .. so any thoughts ???

thnx guys .. hmm i need some advise , started on a chassis today .. tbh i wasnt really in the zone ... used a pick-up chassis as base and mildly z-d the back .. used some scrap parts ... but it didnt go like i wanted .. in the end this is what i ended up with .. kind of made my own fantasy rear axle mount / susupension .. tried to make it look more mome made but i'm not sure ? hight of the axle is good though , bit higher then how this rod was before , ride hight is spot on now made axle brackets with beefy shocks .. thought it would be cool to make more beefy looking shocks .. now i dont know if they would work not straight up but more sideways like this ??? so opinions welcome ? do it all over or continue ?? ..
