Good looking stuff right there....

Thanks Ed, I find all your parts to be top shelf. IMO, the AMT 34 Ford is overlooked quite often. But is like the AMT 40 Ford. Nice kits to bash a nice model. I also feel the 34 Ford in general doesn’t receive the attention that 32’s do, both in 1:1 and scale. As far as complaints go, we all need thick skin in this hobby. Here is a little cold evening update. I added some ribs to the firewall area. and then made up my own headlight mounts. Loosely mocked up of course.

Some bench time today. Mostly pieces and parts fine tuning and fitment. Making a new windshield frame. Headers and misc ready for paint. Wheels painted and bagged. Tub fitment and ready to prime. I’ll probably flock the interior. Test fitting body chassis and engine

Nice looking team!

Nice clean interior, well done.

Thank you to all who commented. The paint is Tamyia Pearl Pink base and Clear Orange top coat. The chrome is Revells new paint, my first attempt at using it. I actually decanted it and used my airbrush right of the primer. Got a little think on the bumpers but I'm ok with the outcome here. Next time I'll try gloss black base and a lighter touch!

Nice weathering, funny how we seem to always say that about the decals!

Anyone going? I believe I’ll make it this year….

Your welcome.

Azoth is a universal remedy or potent solvent sought after in the realm of alchemy, akin to alkahest—a distinct alchemical substance. The quest for Azoth was the crux of numerous alchemical endeavors, symbolized by the Caduceus. Initially coined to denote an esoteric formula pursued by alchemists, akin to the Philosopher's Stone, the term Azoth later evolved into a poetic expression for the element mercury. The etymology of 'Azoth' traces to Medieval … The final assembly has been a challenge to say these least. I’m calling it done, until I find some headlight lens for it. There is build thread somewhere….

I think this should work out well, .080 styrene rod and shrink tube. Plenty of clearance for the exhaust to exit before the rear wheels.

Making popcorn.....

After this purchase I whole heartly agree. The only reason I decided to purchase after watching them for quite some time, I was offered a discount.

They would absolutely look good on a fenderless 34, but these look way to small on this car. I will be using them on a future build!

I received mine yesterday if there is interest, I could post pictures.

Working on some headers

That color looks perfect on the slant back. Great choice….

Oh My! What a beautiful piece. Very nicely done....

Ride height set, casual stance. Modified Revell rear wheel mounting to narrow the track.

I waited 8 weeks for these to arrive. They are extremely nice, But, they just aren’t going to work with this build. Plan B in the making….

Maybe I should call this Hot Rod Hacksaw. Cut up the firewall for clearance and made engine mounts. I can already see the exhaust is going to be tuff.

Nicely detailed and weathering is just right, well done.

Good to have you again. I had troubles as well until I used a different email address, went right through then. I think the update should have been described as change.

Liking the mockup, looks very good.
