Hey guys, Im searching for 4 (2 left, 2 right) vertical wing sides for the Jukebox Ford promod model. I only need the vertical sections. The model was released in maroon and then in white. Prefer white but either will work for what Im doing. Thanks

LOOKS AWESOME!!! That roof shape can be tricky to wrap for sure.

looks awesome!!!!!!
If I may add a technique that may or may not work on the roof. If you were able to lay your \seams front to back, and then brushed it, theyd blend right in. At least it works when Im metal finishing stainless at my FT gig

great start. FYI. you dont need the panhard bar the way the suspension is set up.

Is it the body too far back or the frame too long ?? I love this kit and hate it at the same time something with the length !
Sorry nothing against original poster's build I like it but there is something with this kit !! lol!!!!
I also am not taking anything away from the build, Its looking awesome, ( as does everything Jim builds)
to answer your question, the body should be more forward on the frame, and when I build mine, I will shorten the front half of the wheelbas as well by tucking the front suspension closer to the cross member.

You’re right - they DO have the body sit way back…that’s something that, if I were designing this, I would change too - it looks more ‘right’ to me with the body forward a little. That said, I really wanted to build a loosely (!!) box-stock T Bucket from each of the available kits for my shelf, and that long-snout look is definitely a distinctive feature of these. Of course, ‘loosely’ box stock means I’m also changing a BUNCH of stuff on this, but I’m trying to keep the bones mostly as it comes out of the box 😬
HAHA Im glad Im not the only one who loosely holds "box stock" as aterm of endearment. The build looks awesome,

Ill be sending a link to this over to Dalton. Hes a really cool, down to earth guy. Its also one of my favorite builds hes done

Ive been thinking of digging out one of my T kits but I keep finding other things to mess with. One thing Ive always disliked s how far back the body sits on the frame, which may be why I havent taken one out yet. Ill be watching as I think you have a coll little hot rod in the works
