Rocking Rodney Rat

Beauty. Just hit the primer with some 600 grit paper and it will be good....-RRR

haven't thrown any primer on it yet. had a bit of a setback...body hit the floor and cracked up... -RRR

They had better not get rid of the metalizers!!! I'll have to stock up... -RRR

Glad you were able to whip it back out (in private, of course)...those overly huge wheel arches are the worst part of these kits. Nice correction, carry on... -RRR

Yes we do I'm going to start throwing on some primer on all parts and will mock up then... -RRR

Check this out! Those Swedes are too kool!!! -RRR https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/project-32-roadster-around-the-world.1080803/

Sweet! -RRR

Looking good, nice chop... -RRR

I owned an '87 Daytona turbo. Biggest piece of Lee Iacocca BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH ever produced. -RRR

Well????.... where's this build at ADL??? -RRR

Hood sides, shot with a guide coat of primer....looking pretty good, a few flaws to fix up... -RRR

This is looking good, ADL. Were you eating fudge when you applied those decals originally??? -RRR

Lookin' real good, B!!! -RRR

Attention turns to the front suspension today. Crossmember fabbed up....suspension is the I-beam axle from the Revell Model A series. The spring was cut off of the top of the axle, narrowed a tad and attached to the split bones, suicide style...friction shocks will be used...thanks for looking... -RRR

I like it!!! We need more projects and outcomes like this around here...-RRR

Pop the windows out and use them as bucks for vacu-forming new windows.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx66mS7U2vY -RRR

There's no such thing as "too many '32 Fords". SMH... -RRR

Bill has been known to attend the NNL in Atlanta. Its coming up soon, on November 4th. You might be able to meet him there. -RRR

Yeah, I get it to some extent. As I always say about building in scale: "It doesn't have to work, it just has to LOOK like it does." But a rubbery rear axle is taking it to the extreme!!! -RRR

I've never seen that before....WTH??? That's some krazy sheet right there... -RRR

Perfect. As we talked about, you do need to re-arch those rear wheel wells. Keep on plugging away at it. You might get this done by the end of the century at this rate!!! -RRR

Slow going down here as well... Attention turns to the front end now. I have been massaging the front rails (fortunately this grey plastic AMT uses is pretty pliable) to get them unkinked in order to figure where to put the front xmember.... a skim coat of squadron green to smooth out the inside of the rails...I cut out a paper pattern for the hood sides...quick mockup... -RRR

Hopefully Ed Sexton with Revell will be at the Atlanta NNL on November 4th and we can ask him then (and get an answer?). -RRR

Notice that the original Parts Pack has the block hugger headers while the later versions have the zoomie style headers to accommodate the use of this mill with the Mooneyes dragster parts pack....
