Jantrix

I've seen a lot of dios over the years. This one is right up there with the best of them. Your attention to detail is awe inspiring.

I gotta agree here. My 40 panel hot rod, sure didn't belong in a truck section.

Thanks guys. I do plan on a few shows this year. See you there.

However thats one other few remaining Johan molds that the former owner of Johan is still using. I'm told he's selling them at shows and the quality has suffered. Buyer beware.

There is no rush on getting your pics up. You could enter this in November if you thought you could finish by Dec 1st.

Good enough for me. Thanks yet again. Have a great new year.

Okay. Here's my starting point. Released once in its stock form and once as a custom. My parts seem to have a little of both kits. I got this from a friend who got it off eBay. Pretty sure it's a '77.

So I think, if I cut per the pic. Add a plate and then a drag racing style tranny, I can get pretty close.

Alright you animals. It's time to kick the tires and light the fires. Fire up your shop crew and get cracking. Don't forget to post up a pic of the parts/kits/re-builder you are starting with if you haven't already done so. I'll get some pics up later tonight.

Bill, This is from a Merlin powered '55 Chevy from Youtube. But I think your idea is the same yes?

Happy New year to you as well Bernard. Thanks very much. I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks very much. I'll dive into my parts bin. Much appreciated. Ace you are always there for tech talk.

So you are saying that this current gearbox is in no way correct for this application. So without rebuilding a tranny from scratch what would be your recommendation for a shifter/clutch pedal/throttle combination? I realize I may have to throw mechanical correctness out the window and go with "hey that looks cool."

More chassis work

My current Allison powered project is progressing nicely and I'm working on the "cockpit". Does anyone know what sort of tranny is on the AMT Allison V12? Maybe some of the truck guys recognize it. What sort of shifter/clutch pedal/throttle combination should I be using here. There is very little reference on the internet. This one pic from Big Al doesn't show much? Is that lever a shifter or a throttle? I'm not seeing any pedals. Any help here would be much appreciated.

Yep. Been using it for years. Good reference.

Santa left one of these under the tree this year. My first impression is very good. Minimal flash, great chrome. All the custom goodies are great. Not sure of my plans for it, but I'm looking forward to it.

How did you achieve the lowered stance? Did you throw the axles up on top of the leafs?

This is looking great Rich. Keep it going!

The model king release.

The steelies in the AMT 56 Vicky are pretty deep for cheater slicks in the back. Umm.................just double checked, they aren't that deep after all.

Some really killer work there. The '56 is just perfect.

Top shelf work John. As usual. Looking forward to your next projects.

Very cool. I like it a lot.

Correct! There are no limitations of any sort in this build off.
