    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.
  9. Great fabrication. Love the ideas on this one

    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.
  17. I do t know how I missed this one. Great color choices! That red really pops. Love all the details.
  18. Nice looking Falcon. Great attention to detail.
  19. Just a few posts up it looks like he was dealing with covid issues. I wonder if that's the cause...
  20. I like the color and how the paint turned out

    Yeah, I'll figure that out. I gotta have the fronts positional
  22. Looking good Jeremy
  23. Sweet! Looks great so far
  24. 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.
