My car is lowered about an inch from factory, the angle of the photo is deceiving as well The bottom of the rocker sits about mid wheel stock.

thanks. Itll be the 3rd 5 window survivor I've collected. I'm also thinking about building my version starting with a Revell kit

heres an old photo of my 65. its currently in my shop getting ready to be minitubbed

I ended up getting this survivor off Ebay. Thanks to USPS it basically fell completely apart when I got it. So being me, there were things that needed to change. Not the over all feel, just some details. I originally was gonna put moons on the front wheels but remembered I had some clean chrome wheels that could be thinned out. then I thinned out some trim rings. Front tires are from the parts box. Being that Im an East Coast/New England guy, and its already heavily channeled and unchopped...It needed a roll bar...I pulled one out of my parts box and shortened it up. I drilled 2 holes to help lock it in and it's good to go. Current motor is my mock up from my Lindberg 32. I'm thinking the 394 Olds from the 40 Ford sedan will be a more aggressive option for the drag race vibe its taking on. thanks to @Bullybeef, I have clean glass, a windshield frame and firewall coming to replace the broken/missing ones. I want to shim the body to make it sit more level and once that's done, it's going on the shelf

thats a good idea.

I'm gonna keep an eye on this! so much better already! Bradley's design work has always been "interesting". I havent decided if he was ahead of curve or just throwing stuff out there to see what stuck haha The man definitely had vision...or visions

Im always searching

I need my glasses just to see the screen! how are you making those beautiful parts haha

well as BullyBeef expressed, the Lindberg 32 has made it past mock up. Im hoping to get a WIP started maybe later today.. heres a sneak peek

Thanks! it was shear luck. the whole thing when assembled at a unit is about 8 feet tall and 8 ft long. Thats when I decided to build a stainless base for the shelving where I can display my vintage wheels. the bottom units are becoming an L shaped desk. Once my last 2 customer projects are done, its next on my list. Ive procrastinated long enough

My goal is to get all of my hobbies organized to the point where the family doesnt need to worry about where stuff is. Im also thinning out my collection of 1:1 parts to stuff I know Ill use and then it gets organized by what its bought for. Im 42, so I hopefully have some years ahead of me.

looks awesome! I love the green. Did you do a WIP on the hemi powered 5 window?

A pie crust wouldnt have been used by that time frame. Everyone had gone to wrinkle wall slicks by 1970 or so. Cant wait to see what you do...If it were me (not that you asked haha) I see either a street freak, or an early pro street style build. Blower motor, stick shift,tall level stance (for a freak) or raked (for early pro street)

Im always searching. I enjoy the hunt for stuff. The desk/bookcase in/for my office (for example) came out of an abandoned warehouse and are over 100 years old. I have to build the base for the bookcase still. I HATE new furniture. its all built so cheap

I've been redoing my office for what seems like forever, and I got tired of everything being in boxes so last night I decided to pull out some of my stuff and fill up the antique display cabinet I bought last year. I guess I'm gonna need to buy another one haha I reorganized a few shelves in my living room too top shelf: my mock ups/current builds top interior shelf: mostly GMP disecasts shelf 2: survivor model shelf other than the falcon funny car shelf 3: mostly 1:64 with some other stuff mixed in shelf 4: 1:24 dubs type, mostly trucks living room shelf: mixture of stuff Now I need to finish the base for my bookshelf and get that in the office. I unfortunately don't see myself refinishing my wood floors anytime soon so I may as well display my the hot rod based art, the books and other stuff I've collected over the last 25 years

beautiful

great...now I want to build an axled wagon too haha

AWESOME!

looks awesome! thats the current reissue?

Thats what modeling is about and it looks great! I missed out on an original recently and Im still sore about it because what I have is incomplete too haha

I do it all the time...Quality fab is quality fab. I had to do it in the hot rod industry all the time. Still do when a potential customer brings me his ideas

I liked the belly Pan BUT I get why you did what you did and it looks awesome!

killer!

OH THATS JUST AWESOME!...Id love to wind that thing out on a road course!
