[What Did You Accomplish Today? (Model Car Work)]

Finished this Nova body today, A quick 2 day project, now for sale on ebay.

Looking great! I found some more pics of that engine in a car.

Great project, I can't wait to see it come together. This reminds me of the A that I built a while back. I remember you commenting on it. Incase you don't remember, here's some more inspiration pics to check out.

[Do you also have 1:1 project cars?]

Been working on this "T" again for a bit. This is the 2nd engine in the past 2 years. The last one ran good but had a quarter size hole in the block up in next to the valve guide. We got this one in a while back & got it running 2 weeks ago. Then found out the rear end was shot, changed that last week. Went for a little ride today, blew the front tire and found out the steering is loose as hello.

A shame about the paint but you'll have it just how you want it soon. 

[Trucks I’d like to build😎]

Working on the International, REALLY want to build the Dodge and sooo many wreckers.

An AMC V8 out of a Bobby Allison Matador or a Jeep J10 would be appropriate since I think IH used 401s in Travelalls 

Thanks! I'm still unsure about an engine.

I'd put a wild flathead in it. Pretty trippy, huh?  Don't listen to the lunatics (myself included 🥴)

I seriously considered just that, because 53 was the last year of the Ford Flathead v8 and I have plenty of them. More thought on that when the bodywork looks better. My brain can't handle more than 1 thing at a time.🥴🤪

I've ordered some resin Gladiator style grills from RMR Resins.

He casts to order. I waited about 3 weeks to order mine.

I'll report back when I get them.

This is one of RMR grills. Not too bad looking to me.

I've been cutting, sanding & figuring things out. I really needed to reconnect the fenders so I built a radiator support. I got rid of the fender flares and reworked the bottom of the grill. It's getting a little better.

Great minds...

The way I see it from this side of the screen is that the grille is a bit low and somewhat pointy forward in the center, the fenders look more rounded down on the sides of the hood and the grille seems to follow the fenders closely on the prototype pic. The fenders themselves seem to be fine.

Thanks Jose, I'm working on it.

Just comparing the model to the real truck it looks like the grill could be raised just a tad.  Match the height to the hood by adjusting the edges of the hood so it is squared off to meet the grill.  Then reshape the top of the fenders accordingly.  I think you also have to take out the sculpture line that goes around the fender opening.  So don't put it away yet!  It's getting there.

Thanks Charles, I've been working on it. It's not in a box, the garbage or smashed against the wall. YET🤨

Outstanding work, Mark - keep at it.

Thanks Michael.

You need some Zippi's Garage decals made for the sides. Great build as always.

This is one of my favorite trucks and one of the hardest kits to build for me. Good luck, I'll be watching!

Man, I wish I could build something this nice. Great job, I love it!

Great looking J10

Where did you find an early grill?

 

If you go to the RMR site and the item says it's out of stock, just email them and they will get you what you need. I've ordered one of these before grills and some other stuff.

[1953 International pickup]

I got the Foose chassis started and put the cab & fenders on to see how it looks. Not good to me. I have to redo the front fenders again. They're too long on the front, so I need take some off which screws up the hood too. I'm almost ready to put it away.

Looking good, Mark.  More and more like an IH every day!  Keep it going.  Hope you are feeling better.👍

Thanks, I'm trying but not happy with it yet.
