I picked a green that according to the cap looked like a 40s color but when dried looks to be a military color.

I might have to build one too since i do have some A parts.

Looks like I am back on ebay looking for parts since the little hobby shop closed in June,I am now only looking at what I need if it has a decent buy it now price and got about 6 parts off the same seller.

I have a coupe and a sedan that I built back in the mid 70s that will be getting restored soon.

Here are a couple 40s I built with left over and scrounged parts,the sedan has a sedan delivery interior and made like a business sedan.

Just picked one up today at a local hobby shop and was wondering if anyone has modified them,I was wondering what it takes to lower them a little.

It started out with a sedan body made into a home made p/u but that body was just too far gone to bring back so I got a sedan delivery body,the frame I started to use had the bumper brackets cut off so I am looking for a frame since I now want bumpers.

After seeing this I might have to rebuild my 70s version into the 60s little deuce,that is the first older Monogram that I seen molded in white and in my 40 plus years of building I never got one until I got a 90s kit.

I seen it at the hobby shop last saturday and will have to get it soon,I would like to build it as a cheap version with a slant six.

I am suprised it did not come molded in red like the big version,I have the 70s black version that I need to rebuild.

No its not going have a straight axle,that axle is junk and should be in the trash.

Its going to be a 60s era hotrod.

That is it.

Just getting started and its in color and to be unusual it will have the 413 Mopar motor from the 49 merc kit

I built one back in the mid 70s while on vacation,chopped the top a little but kept the stock tires but when i got hone changed the wheels and adapted a Triumph Tr3? front suspension. Shortly after that I robbed the wheels off of it so it sat wheel less for over 35 years and was almost going to get tossed in the trash but found some wheels and tires and saved it,

I remember building one and I think it was called something else and molded in orange.

I got a order in before they shut down but it might be a very long wait to get the parts.

I would like to have a fleetside bed and do have paint left over in case I do find one,this stepside was very close to being thrown in the trash since I almost ruined it in the 80s and glad I could save it.

During the winter I paint at work.

For the one wanting to do a AMT 56 as a gasser I am building one using the chassis from the MPC 57 Chevy gasser and it fits good and can post some pics.

Looks good and I need to get mine out and do something with it.

Its getting close to being done,it will go on the shelf before the hub caps arrive from Modelhaus and I find a pair of tail lights.

Ooops I put it in the wrong spot.

I started this a few years ago and finally finished it a couple days ago,I changed the wheels to try to get rid of the 70s streetrod look. For some reason the project with less painting got pushed back many times and took way too long to build.

Now that its cold I am back in the basement finishing what I started last winter.
