This forgetfulness is getting annoying. welcome to the golden age. I gurss I'll have to disassemble the deck to do the necessary mods.

Also, I forgot to cut down the sides of the body to make the doors for the outriggers before I assembled the body.

Which indicates that the spread isn't wide enough. Jensen solved this by removing the skirt beteeen the wheels.

But mockup #2 says "Thou shalt slide axles back".

A Cry in the Night by Mary Higgins Clark. Rated as mystery but spooky enough. I enjoyed it.

Around 1959, my uncle gave me 5 WW2 fighters for Christmas. I have no idea what scale they were. there was a Spitfire, a Zero, a Messerschmitt, a Mustang and another one which eludes me. Those were the very first. Later I got a 1939/40 Ford kit which I painted red with black fenders as one of my mom's brothers had a 48 Chevrolet red with black fenders.

I agree.

A quick mockup indicates that there likely will not be any need to adjust the lenght of the frame.

Added some plumbing.

The '56 Ford is on hold, so I started pecking at this one. Working on the engine. It is awkward since the numbers on the instruction sheet don't match the numbers on the sprues. At least the images are a good guide.

Beautiful model. I thinned out y paint and gave them a once over. they turned out not too bad. I did have a 49 Merc. It had donated its hind quarters to the couch. However i can't find the rest of it. Shame on me for throwing away something with "potential".

Hi Steve, I don't have a '57 T=Bird. So they'll likely havee to be scratchbuilt.

Added a spacer to the spare to center the '32 rim. Rick's wheels wil work out fine. I have to do something about those whitewalls though. And we have primer.

Work continues on the continental kit extension. Thanks to a gift from fellow member Tarheel Rick, I have the proper wheels. I'll use a '32 wheel for the spare.

Niiiice. thank you for sharing.

Yes, it shouldn't be too difficult toi make out of flat stock.

Looking at ways of making the splah pan/bumper extension. First in cardboard, then in plastic. This molding isn't in the kit either. It should be fairly easy to replicate.

The chassis is pretty well done.

I had totally forgotten about it until a few weeks ago. It is next after the current one.

Trying on lids and doors to check the fit. Does anyone know if fender skirts are available for this puppy? Or am I in for a fab job?

Getting ready for the scary part. There is an inordinate amount of flash to trim and sand. I takes a bit away from the fun.

Added fuel line to the engine and working on the ignition wiring.

Started pecking away at it.

Thanks Patrick. That is what I had in mind. I have an old build on the shelf.

So I obtained this kit. I may have to steal the continental spare from something else and it won't have those wheel covers. Otherwise, it should be close.
