jaftygas

Hi ya,all. I thought I would get back to the bench after my divorce, I'm more settled and can give some attention to the kid in me. I'm pulling out my favorite childhood gasser. I've had the old kit a few times off and on sense I was 10years old. Now the lates willys from revell is a better kit , but the doors don't open. I know cut them open right? Well I did, and my lack of practice in the last 20 odd years, has made me heavy handed. So I graphed the old kit body to the new nose and floor pan. Pictures coming soon.

Nice!!!! I just can't get enough of hilborn injection.

Actually, unbelievable cool.

This is just an awesome build, please get back after it soon. i have a 1:1 48 ford I could do something similar. I also have a 1:24 kit, it's not like I have too many irons in the fire already.? Great work.

hey, there I'm from Arlington. I lived in darrington for 8 years. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hello Michael. It's me Joe my divorce is done, while I'm not enjoying retirement like you I do have the single life. Congrats on the retirement. How did that brown and brass cammer turn out?

yo, how doing? It's me jaftygas. I've got my divorce out of the way, and am spending time on the bench again.

Great looking model Jim. I can't wait for pics of that mouse motor.

Thanks Mike. I cut 4 (.250) inch blocks and epoxied them .500 apart on each door and drilled straight through, and will use .080 thick wire for the hinges.

I hear you there Jim. I had a stone woods and cook Willy's once, and the paint on the body turned out so good by the time I got to the doors I couldn't get them to match the body. I was so bummed and had to start over. It just was never the same again.

Yes brass is stouter. However, styrene glues much better, and I'm not the best with brass.

Hey Jim those are some really cool Novas man. Sorry I have been away with moving and all, but life comes first. I'll PM you sometime. Glad to see you working. Joe.

Thanks Joe. Now if I can just figure out these hinges. I just don't think I can do oem style, there just to hard and delicate to produce.

Hers my new work bench don't laugh it's still coming together. till later. I hope to get 3 to 4 hours a week on it.

Well now that the move is over and I get Monday's off I can put some more time into the COPO. Here's the mold I made for the door jambs.

Those headers look fantastic.

Wow; these are really going to look great on the Titan Tom.

Hello Rafael, could you PM me I would like a set of those steel wheels with dog dishes please.

Thank you so much Greg. I would love to get more done, however time is not permitting right now. thanks to all following.

B)Man Ryan this is really lookin cool! love the interior and the carbon fiber. really clean cool car.

Don't forget to add the wing window on that car Fred.

That car looks great!

Hey Fred, those wheels look great. Love to see how this goes together friend. I will do my diligent best to check in once and awhile. Buy the way I wish I could find some 1/12th scale poly glass good years, my 1/12 COPO is going to require them. It's just great to see a Ford freak doin a Chevy LOL.

Thanks Mike. That's just what I have done. I used aluminum stock and it failed bad, so I will take more time and try again. The trunk is easy.

The colts would have been cool to see in the bowl.
