I sorted everything, and sold/traded off what I didnt want. People sell boxes, instructions and parts all the time.

Rob, I have a pair of f100 fenders Id trade for your chevy ones. Klaus drives that "pick up" hard!

AWESOME!

I believe thats the reissue I have as well. It pretty much fell apart in shipping which saves me a ton of time. I just need to get a donor gto kit and the cutting begins

I see this thing sitting low in a bellflower style!

I've been running stupid the last few weeks. I couldn't find headers to fit between the frame and motor, so I decided to cut up a pair of original issue 40 sedan, modified the frame and stuffed the motor in there. If I were building it as a modern build, I'd have done more to make it work better but I'm trying to tap into the original build. I got my glass and windshield frame from @Bullybeefso thats all glued on now as well. tomorrow I need to make the dump tubes work, glue them in and make a few touch ups.

Thanks Greg! I picked up a built one thats been mildly modified..I cant stand it in "stock form" so wild custom it becomes haha

I just got a monkee mobile to cut up and turn Into a 60s era custom. I'd love to see some inspiration. Anyone done one? The only thread I found doesn't have photos anymore

as others have stated, the roof is a kit custom option that mimics the Victoria roof line. The wheels are from the 67 Comet, I had them in my parts box and threw them in some whitewalls I had in there as well. Im not sure if they will make the final cut or not. I tend to use parts box stuff for mock up and then make my final decision as I Iron out the wrinkles of the build

ANOTHER AMAZING BUILD!!!! Im stealing some of your ideas haha

Thanks Sam! I am as well, its gonna make a killer 60s era hot rod Me too! I HAD to own it as soon as I saw it. Im hoping to get the body blocked and body worked soon. The original builder did all the hard work. Now I just have to fine tune/ fix some stuff

62 Catalina is one of my favorite GM cars. Ill be following since Id love to have a convertible on the shelf.

wow...

Been focusing on some survivor rebuilds and my Lindberg 32 when I have some downtime. Honestly it hasn't been much lately BUT, I got this 31 sedan from @Sam I Amtoday and couldn't resist getting it on the mock up bench. Model As need to be slammed and motivated by a proper hot rod type engine. More later but it's gonna work just as I see it in my head I'm a junkie for cool shoebox Fords and when this one popped up (as well as 3 others) I had to have it. All the body mods you see were done long ago. I'm going to reblock everything and get it looking good again in a fresh coat of primer for now.

PHENOMENAL!!!!

coming along nicely Mike!

You know Im watching!

wow!

you see issues, I see a killer street freak!

looks KILLER!

little more progress. once glass, windshield frame and the firewall get here from Canada it's time for final assembly. until then, it's in the case

Thanks. Just making it more my style

thanks I went with Sharpie hoping it'll fade out some thank you. I wish I could say I came up with it but I learned from the muscle car guys. They use it to create vinyl tops.

Decided on the 394 Olds. I blended the seams a bit but didn't go my usual full blend. I'm really trying not to inject my OCD into this. One I want to stay true to the original build and Two I have other projects to do so this one has to get finished up. I tamiya flat cleared all the chrome and then brought out the details with Tamiya panel accent. I have to decide on headers, paint them and the magneto still. The original builder painted the roof insert. I didn't like the look so I used the old masking tape trick and replicated the factory style insert. I used a Magnum sharpie to lay down the black, figuring it'll fade out quicker than paint. Wheel backs are drying, I'll get them assembled maybe tomorrow

well the 64 and 65 Comets were well known drag cars haha
