GSL Common Kit: [revision] just another Model A Roadster
Slotto replied to 89AKurt's topic in WIP: Model Cars
What a great build. Nice and clean and plenty of details. Killer! -
Yeah, that's how I work. Every car is different and requires a unique approach.

Disc brakes all around and the inner fenders are in. I'll let everything settle down before I sand and fill. also since it's such a tight fit, I had to make my own headers. Scrap sheet styrene, 18 gauge solder and aluminum tubing for the collector.

Fantastic interior -
Great fabrication. Love the ideas on this one
-
What a great build. The interior is very nicely detailed
-
Aw man, that's too cool. And it's a one day build. Wow!
-
Super cool Jeremy. It was a nice thing you've done
-
one side done. I will have to address the chunks I cut out of the inner fenders though. It wont be as bad as I originally thought.

passenger side wheel tub is in place. I cant leave well enough alone though. I want to squeeze another 1 - 2 scale inches out of the ride height. I noticed that the center section was banging up against the bottom of the chassis so... this gets me where I want be. and I added a patch for good measure. and for kicks, I was curious if i could shoehorn in a 396. She fits but it leaves little room for headers. I'll figure that out later. Now I'm onto the front suspension.

For the wheel tubs, I usually grab a pill bottle and slice off the bottom. This time I'm trying something different... I always have a bunch of bottle caps around I use for mixing paint or as a place to hold paint -I primarily use craft acrylics for everything. Anyway, I grabbed a cap. I think this one is from snapple. Definitely from a bottle of tea. I held the cap up to the wheel opening and the radius darn near matches perfectly. I ground out the inner threads and held it back up to the wheel opening and mark it where the cuts will occur. Then I made a series of relief cuts until the mini-tub fits perfectly. I apply some Testors to the edges on the cap and add it to the chassis. Then for good measure I ran a bead around the perimeter of the match lines. There's enough of the remaining cap for the other mini-tub. it's close enough for me. If you try this, let me know how it worked out for you.

I do t know how I missed this one. Great color choices! That red really pops. Love all the details.

Nice looking Falcon. Great attention to detail. -
Just a few posts up it looks like he was dealing with covid issues. I wonder if that's the cause...

Chopped '32 Ford 3-window highboy - 3-19 Update
Slotto replied to Bernard Kron's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I like the color and how the paint turned out -
Yeah, I'll figure that out. I gotta have the fronts positional
-
Sweet! Looks great so far
-
Glad to see that you're back on this Tom. Looks killer. Reminds me of a hearse with the paneled wagon top. I dig the floor you put in.
