  1. Wow Thanks Raul.....YGM
  2. I'm still lookin for the plow blade.......
  3. I start with a sharpie.....before any cutting starts you have to have a plan.....chop and drop....like on a '34 this is Kennys this was done with tape and a razor saw.....straight cut then drop and glue! Sometimes you have to cut 2 or 3 times and add filler to make things line up...like on this '55 you can see the dif.
  4. Its also great to use for any mockup resin or styrene... glue in your suspension check fit etc then a good wash and you can paint it!!
  5. YEE HAAAAH!!!! Great idea!!!!!!!
  6. What kind of box you going to run? open and chopped? your showin 2 rears in your mockup. are you going to run all 4 tall tires or big n littles? figgure out these answers and that will give you your answer on a bigger Z are you going to hang the axle out in front?? what kind of grill????
  7. Oh My ......I've got one of these...NO .....Wait... its got to sit longer and let this '34 Snort!!!!!!

  9. I do not have a quick change ...or know where one is....would definitely love one, my parts box has no 3rd members except for some goofy boyds U shaped!! I did about the same on my '31....I love the rat style(you can butcher it and pretend you can still ride in it!!! I want to make it showy but a driver...not ratted out this time.

  12. mine is on an engine stand on my bench.... but someway the 34 poped up an took over but....more to come!!!!!!!!!
  13. Did I mention brake lines ? did't think so!!
  14. DAfter it is dry remove the tape and planks now you can paint your framework and the other end. once dry reassemble with tape underneath. I like light wood but if dark is wanted stain them now! once together I spray 3 or 4 coats of duplicolor clear lacquer on entire surface let dry and now fit into bed... you may need to file end down for the other end piece to fit in snugly. Use a course sanding stick till you can slide it in .If wanted flip it out and you can weld it on also Doesn't this look better than this?? You can also BMF the Beams...I would do it after the clear . Now lets see some Bedwork
  15. The Bed Hope this works!!! Materials needed: 1\16th" thick 1/4" wide basswood found in rc plane area. (I use bass not balsa) .10" (2.5mm) evergreen #273 I Beams cardstock tape tenax cement or similar Start by cutting out a template that fits snugly into the box, out of cardstock Cut 2 each pcs of I Beam the EXACT width needed.these are the front and rear.With a sharp blade remove 3 of the 4 lips on each. Next cut as many planks as you will need...lay them side by side on template, the number needed depends on the width of your bed 6 or 7 is common.These should be the length of the template Now cut lengths of I Beam to proper length 1 less than planks Inspect wood planks and I Beams for burrs etc and remove. Now lay out your planks and I Beamson top of the template ,work slowly and you will dry fit the parts with the tape. If your finished width is wider than your template, remove the center 1 or 2 planks and thin them for the correct fit. Once satisfied cement weld 1 end to the ends of the I Beams the lip ( goes up and in)
  16. Makes sense Bob. I had this occur on 1 paint job.....it got clear 7 days after color and is the only paint job to crack!!
  17. If they can't follow the simple rules DELETE!!!!!
