[1934 Chevrolet Master 5-Window coupe.]

Hi guys, thanks for the comments. When I restored the 1:1 car I stayed stock although with the condition it was in it would likely have been easier to rod it. Now though, there is no question of rodding the model. I intend to stay stock to the point of attempting to replicate the hydraulic front suspension and the dash of the Master.

This is what Dieter is referring to above for those who are interested in seeing the reconstruction of the actual car. http://forums.aaca.org/f190/reconstruction-34-chevy-master-coupe-297983.html .It is a rather long read but it shows how involved this project was. 8 years actually.

Robert, I very well may be in touch.

I have this old Chevy that I rescued from a field. I'd like to build a model of it. I probably won't get at it for a while but I'd like to start a thread at least to get some ideas, guidance, etc.

Someone suggested putting the top of a Ford coupe on a 1935 Chevy cabriolet diecast. I obtained one of each. Someone else suggested modifying a '32 metal kit. I got one of those. Had built one years ago but it is long gone.

An then there is the R&R resin kits assuming I can find some. I'm leaning hard on the resin kits. I'm open to suggestions.

I used to have the AMT D8 sitting on the same float hooked to a Kenworth conventional. I had swapped the Cummins for the V12 in the drag truck kit. It was on top of the piano at home 40 years ago.

Terry, are those old crawlers diecast?

Casey, it was a link to a thread in another forum about an awesome modeler. I posted it in the "Move over Gerald Wingrove" thread in the large scale forum. I typed the link and it appears to work.

This guy is no slouch either. I typed the link in here because it wouldn't cut & paste. Amazing work!

I normally just copy and paste but it doesn't seem to work here, anything special I need to do?

Thanks guys, I suppose I could buy one and turn it into a '64.

Thanks Charlie. Now is Missing Link a business or one of the members here?

Charlie, love your '60 Ford.

Is the '64 GT Hawk resin body to retrofit the 53 Starliner still available? I believe it was made by a John Heyer. Or where would I post hoping to find one for sale?

Hey Dan, I am in the boodocks, Kapuskasing.

I have a '67 Mustang convertible and a '34 Chevrolet 5 window coupe. I'd like models of both. The only model of a '67 Mustang convertible I have found is diecast and is available from time to time on eBay. I suppose I could paint one to look like mine. So far, I haven't found a '34 Chevrolet 5 window coupe. I have a couple of '35 Danbury mint convertibles and an AMT '34 Ford 5-window that someone suggested I get for the roof. I also saw a '34 3-window resin body on the internet. Those two would be my first projects. I also had a '64 Studebaler GT hawk. I understand someone named John Heyer or John Meyer made some resin bodies of that to fit on the '53 Stude coupe chassis. I wonder how hard to get that resin body would be. I have a 53 Starliner coupe I could modify.

Hi from Ontario. I built models as a kid.(Whatever my mom bought). Then I started again as a young adult. (Mostly trucks).Sold most of them about 30 years ago. Started again later.(Mostly vintage cars). Went to the full size cars for a while. Still have two. Now looking to replace my ex-cars with models. Too old & sore for the full size stuff. I might start a thread about my projects.
