Love the clear for the signal stalk, yet another little bit I’ve to add to the bench!
-
I believe that’s what they call levelling up Jim! Well done.
-
Nice job on tucking in those meats in the back!
-
The “odd” part is from the sedan delivery I believe it’s supposed to be the spare tire well with tire
-
Dan this is coming together nicely!
-
Now there’s a tip I’ll take to the bench, I’ve struggled a bit with too thick putty!

1981 Chevy K 10 stepside

That’s great looking square K10, love the look of stock wheels n tires, may I ask where that are from? -
Looks darn good in the mock-up!

Just a little more frame cleanup to do, mounted the rear subframe mount for the rear buggy spring, also from the revell 40 ford kit, carefully measured so that the axle will sit exactly where it needs to. the rear suspension will consist of a center section/third member from the revell Mickey Thompson challenger 1, one of the nicer quick change rears imo. The bells will be from one of the many iterations of the Revell Tweedy Pie( this one is “T” Bucket from 1983) this kit also has a nice suicide front end that I may use as well, the front crossmmember and frame horns are a little meh!

Lots of neat bits there Bob, can’t wait to see how it looks all together.

I’m a fan of hairpins

The 4L60E has been trouble free for me.

1995 GMC Suburban 4x4 , 360,000 kms and adding more daily, nicknamed Gord as that was the original owners name, sometimes gets lengthened to Gord don’t let me Downie (Canadians will get it) also used as an acronym G.O.R.D (good ole reliable daily)

It’s from the be Revell 40 ford standard coupe Jim, it’s needs a tinch shortening at the rear and a tad narrowing at the front.

Started out with trying out a floor plan, the original builder had added a separating wall that in my eyes was taking up a lot of floor space. I may delete the exterior bathroom doors.

The seven year itch just turned into the eighth year burn haha.

So in the beginning there was the mongram 32 ford roadster. To some if was the beginning of a great start for a traditional 32 ford. All the best period parts to show how it started. Now we move further along and revell has stepped up with a nice set of frame rails but the underpinnings are a little more modern. Then the advent of the ohv engine comes along and more strength was needed so hot rodders added in some strength from the 40 ford frame x bracing. I have another project started on another section of the forum and I wanted a stand alone frame for that piece. So I start with a glue bomb frame, first remove the molded in floor pan and the fuel tank, the off come the engine mounts, add in the 40 ford x frame and we are starting to get somewhere. The frame itself needs a lot of cleanup so we will be addressing all the damage and making it look presentable for the next steps: suspension and engine mounts. Follow along and let’s have some fun

Thanks Paul, every build is an evolution! Thank you Terry. It’s a genre that I quite enjoy building. Thank you Dave, it was an effort towards details and period correctness. Hahaha thanks.
-
Looking good so far Jim, i have a few remaining 3 window kits in my stash and I’ve been itching to do another hard top build. Following along!
-
Thank you, been working on more details!
-
It’s a good start for sure, I’ve already started a build thread in dioramas lol

Been wanting to do a diorama for a long time. Finally got my hands on a joes garage for a really great price. It was previously started and has some details that will change. Repurposed gas station turns hot rod shop.
