  1. Officially recommitted, I did a little work on the c-cab today, well at least on parts for it. I designed and printed a couple of engine mounts and a radiator. I added an ornament to it before printing it because when I printed the ornament separately it was tough to get it supported. I'll clean up the mounts and then glue them to the chassis. Then I'll "carefully" file them to the proper angle to match the engine. This weekend I mudded the body to try to get rid of the issues I'm having. As a contingency, I set up another one to print just in case. I won't be sidelined again!
  2. Wow Les, you're really putting the pedal to the metal on this one. Good on you. One of the builds on my short list is a Ford. Maybe I'll post it here when I get to it.
  3. I've lived in Chevy & Ford land all of my adult life. I had a couple of friends with MOPARs, and even helped a guy a couple of times at the track but never spent a lot of time with them.
  4. Congrats! Beautiful build.
  5. Well done!
  6. I have engines but backed up on projects. I'll throw in for it though since there is no end date.
  7. What about the Hemi that came in the 56 Ford Pickup? Lots of folks used the flathead so there might be a few of those out there. I glued mine together and altered it but there may be others unbuilt.
  8. Texas 3D Customs has one. While not totally stock, its a nice street perf engine. https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/hemi-426-dual-carbs
  9. Very nice!
  10. Thanks Jim. Some of the folks that like a more traditional approach beat me up about them at the time, but that's how it goes with customs. Some will like them, some will hate them.
  11. Too cool!!
  12. I know he's on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/729223174643840
  13. I went a bit more radical on mine because I wanted it really low. I altered some McPherson struts to fit the height I needed. I used the stock A-arms so it looks stock from the bottom and the only way you can tell is where the came through the fender well. I did pics of the process but can't find them. I think I was on Photobucket at the time so they're long gone.
  14. Nice ad-hoc poll!
  15. Awesome work!
  16. Thanks for looking Joe, and sorry I've neglected this build. I ran into an issue with the body and just got so ticked I shelved it. Since I finished my Cannonball run build I guess I can get back to this one. I've pulled out a couple of other shelved builds so I can swap one of those out and do finish this one instead.
  17. I'm starting to like the idea too!
  18. Very nice!
