I’m liking this, what is the source of the wheels?

I’m not really using much from the kit, but please feel free to follow along.

I’m not a Chevy fan

It will just be dropped, i have a sectioned grille shell and it just looks small an pitiful. And no, no crafting, when the cost of a modelling cutting mat is almost 3 times the cost of a craft mat, frugalness ensues.

Getting the body and rad shell lined up.

Cracked open a fresh 1997 release of the classic ford roadster, going for a nice channelled clean look. already added a nice Zed to the frame and deleted the small block engine and trans mounts, broke out the old add a flathead install kit, some styrene stock and bam. the wheels and tires are from the partsbox, pretty sure they are from the Lil coffin. Current engine is for mock-up purposes. I’ll be working on the grill shroud and radiator for matching the channelled body for height.

Working on three atm, the ramp truck, the 70 4x4 and the 70 2wd short bed.

I have an original screw bottom convertible, it’s missing some small pieces, I had thought of picking one up to get them.

Clean build of a classic kit, well done sir.

Thanks Bob, I have the inability of working straight from the box, kitbashing is an art form that I’ve seen others achieve to great success here on the forums and the notion of custom building something that lives in my head unleashes my creativity, some of my builds have started with an idea and one solitary part that I want to use. In the past month I’ve churned out a couple of builds, but some of those have been in the “in process” stage for quite sometime. I actually cracked open a fresh kit last night as an idea struck me.I literally spent 3 hours going through wheel and tire combos.

Thank you, it’s been a fun build, and a great place to stare at my current mock ups

After staring at it on my bench for an hour, I’m beginning to like the primer, I may just add the trim pieces and call it done.

In primer

Is that the re release kit?

Final stretch, stay tuned you will see the final result in under glass soon

Reissue of the rat roaster but it has been un-rat roastered. There is a 7 page thread here

That’s pretty sweet

To quote Darth Vader “ Impressive” .

Test shot

This will live rent free in my head! It’s like you know me haha

Thank you, that’s high praise.

Thank you Bill Round 3 ….

I’m sorry Jim, but no I don’t think I’ll stop hogging them today . ? yes these are my favourite kits to mess with and now with a new mold coming out I’m even more excited to add to the stash haha. I have some fresh ideas for future builds.

Looks good, hope the paint on mine turns out as nice

You call that “pretty good”? I call it flippen epic. That’s way better than any paint I’ve done.
