Great looking Hot Rod. Thanks for the props on the LouverWorks hood.

Going to be cool. I got one of these a few weeks ago myself.

Looking great. Glad to see the louvered hood getting put to use.

Thanks for the LouverWorks props. I look forward to seeing what you come up with on this build. Glad to see this body got cast too.

Very cool, would like to see this one finished.

I think it's have a set of those wheel covers, will take a look soon.

You are absolutely right. My confusion on the AMT 62? Buick wagon.

I have two tires left in inventory. Not sure if or when I will produce more of these.

With some inspiration from the California Kid Express that was recently debuted, I started working on this project. This started as an AMT 34 Ford 5w coupe. Modified the cabin into a PU cab and chopped it about 3”, Little modifying to the rear fenders to fit the shortened bed from the AMT 34 Ford PU Was a fun build, but I wasn't able to get happy with the wheels, so I modified the axle ends and back/inside of the wheels so the wheels are held on with magnets. This way I can swap them out if the right wheel comes to my vision. Wheels are my resin castings that are copies from the Revel 32 Ford roadster that I machined down to fit Modelhaus tires front and rear. Front axle from a Revell 32 Ford. Paint is Tamiya rattle can with lots of wet sanding and polishing. NO clearcoat though.

Thank You Not bad for rattle can(Tamiya) and no clearcoat. Lots of wet sanding and polishing though.

Managed to get this build finished. Not going to be casting the body though. Was a fun build, but i wasn't able to get happy with the wheels, so i modified the axle ends and back/inside of the wheels so the wheels are held on with magnets. This way I can swap them out if the right wheel comes to my vision.

I built this using the Flintstone resin. I cut the COE parts away and used Revell fenders and bed. But the windshield came from the AMT 53 kit.

I need taillights to this kit also. I could also use a pair of the porthole inserts. I'd be happy to even borrow one to make resin copies.

That Flintstone casting was based on the AMT 53 Ford PU. The Revell 56 window is a different shape and the Monogram 55 is 1/24th scale.

Here's the one I have.

Nearly positive i have a stock top as I've only built chopped versions. I'll be home in a few hours and can check. Jason

They are the same wheels as the most current offerings of Monogram 37 Ford PU's. No wide five detail under the caps.

Incredible work going on to build a better B400. Ignoring the shortcomings of the Flintstone body, I managed to build this one. Along with the previously mentioned shortcomings, the roof is slightly taller on one side and the middle of the body is a little longer on one side. Jason

Any idea if Norm still has the stock style chassis available?

Works for me. PM and address and I'll get them headed your way.

Found a full set now too. All the same width, back ate different for front/rear though. Chrome has been stripped. These are not wide like the two chrome wheels which I'm betting is what you are needing.

I've found a third wheel, this likely being a front. If you're able to use it, or get it resin cast? The rears are molded in red, and this front molded in yellow. Carbs amd headers missing is no big deal.

PM me an address and I'll get these headed your way.

I've got a gasser challenge build coming up soon. Will be building an AMT 55 Chevrolet that I cut the IFS off the frame 35 years ago and will use Evergreen to make new straight frame rails and the kit gasser axle. I need something period correct for wheels for it I think, or maybe a 409 motor? I've been leaning toward traditional customs of 30's car lately. Maybe something along those lines? I'm even up for a surprise if you think you have something.. Also like oddball old resin. I might need to find a way to sweeten the pot for something like that. Are you building any Revell 32 Fords?

I've got two wheels that look right. No backs though. By the width, I'd assume these are rears.
