That is really odd, and really cool at the same time!😎 You’re getting it looking fantastic Joe.👍

That is looking very nice Matt!😎 And thanks to you and Edgar for pointing out all the differences between the ‘67 and ‘68. The front park lights is how I always distinguished them.

That is looking really nice!👍😎

The Paasche H can be had with both a 0.5 and a 0.3 nozzle and needle. The larger is plenty big for 1/24 scale bodies, the smaller is nice for details. I would highly recommend that you start with it.

That looks, pretty close to correct.👍😎 I had mine painted the metallic blue that came out in ‘66 and wound up changing it.

“Woods” are pretty much a thing of the past in the game of golf.

Spectacular work all around Francois!👍😎 I’m certain there will be PLENTY of interest. If there is no resin sturdy enough for the crankshaft, you could possibly print it with a hollow void that you could fill with epoxy and a piece of metal angle or bar stock that could withstand the torque?

One way to skin a cat is only one of the ways.

Ok, I’ve glued the front suspension in place. I shortened the ‘37 Ford tie-rod and converted it into a rack and pinion steering box🤪 and added a steering shaft.

Terrific job on the wood grain there David!😎

Yes, that is looking great!😎

I checked mine and there is no steering box.😳 I must have lost it or something? It looks like you have it installed correctly though.

Nicely done Elliot.👍

Perhaps the windshield is not seated properly? I did not have to do any dash modifications on the one I built. I’ve found that test fitting and test fitting again can avoid a lot of issues.

Mornin’ cup o’ Joe is what I need for a kickstart.

That’s where I got this one. I got two extra shelves cut at a local glass shop and made my own brackets. There is still space for more shelves if needed. This one I picked up at a second hand store.

That front end looks a little low there.🧐

I am using real wood edging veneer for a truck bed.

That is pretty much your only option. Try to carefully sand it off and polish it. You’ve got nothing to lose by trying, because the only other option I see is stripping it entirely.😕 I wound up having to strip my Nomad due to a CA spill when it was 99% finished.🤬

I finally got this front suspension glued together into one solid chunk.🥵 I swear I had more trouble just assembling this unit than building tiny aluminum hinges from scratch.🤯 I reduced the amount of “zee” in the frame from 3/16” to 1/8” and hogged out the trans tunnel slightly to raise the power train a tad and glued the frame rails back onto the floorpan. Then I drilled the rear diff to accept a 3/32” tube. I shoved a piece of wire that nicely fits the hole in the wheels into the tube and used that assembly to locate the differential fore and aft. Wheel height can still be tweeked when I add the rest of the suspension components. Then added a couple of new crossmembers and pinned the diff in three places so it is positively located now. I haven’t glued the front suspension crossmember in place yet, as I want to do a bit more detailing yet, but the stance is pretty much set. Thanks for lookin’!🙂

I really like these older chevy trucks. I think they wer the best looking generation ever. Carry on.😎

Whiskey was the last word of the last sentence that, according to the rules, qualified.

Make sure to breathe in that styrene aroma as you open it. That air has been sealed inside the box for 40ish years.😂😂

Horses can be led to water (which is the greatest solvent on earth) but you can’t make them drink.

About the only time I go looking for a YT video on a kit is if I am contemplating buying one and want to see the contents of the box.
