Finally got the parts all together for a tribute build! The “iron trap garage” Delorean roadster. Should go together pretty fast once painting weather hits. https://www.hagerty.com/media/maintenance-and-tech/watch-this-hot-rod-get-the-revival-it-deserves/

Appreciate you looking Steve

It’s funny that was one of my grail kits til I learned how bad its designed

If it was the early edition they probably scaled out at 15

The stock wheels were a 17 inch

I have no idea what size they would scale out to be, the ones from the 5w are about 2cm across. They look the part though

A shot below the belt

At least it’s not a Plymouth!

@LennyB that’s pretty darn good man!

And here I thought making a coil would be a difficult thing sheesh

Thank you Len, those are your squirrels now!

I have a chopped windshield to go on it, working on a stripped interior and other up/downgrades haha, flathead will be a must as well as a handmade exhaust. Still on the hunt for a set of stock 34 wires as well! **edit frame may not be used here! **

The things that happen when you can’t paint( weather not skill)

If I don’t take pics of the bad, I’d have nothing to show 🤔

As requested( only pic I have if it)

I built a custom one a while back with a 37 ford cab.

Moving along with the chassis and drivetrain! The lengths we go for scale accuracy can be a test of one’s patience and eyesight! 😦 all the tiny holes are drilled and now to have a couple cups of strong coffee to get the hands shaking to make a complete mess of this! Seriously kidding about the coffee. I’m using the small block ford from many of the Revell line of 32’s, a fair bit of dechroming was done and a set of cobra valve covers from the parts bin(last set too).

Just looked into them, with the exchange plus shipping and the lead time… they do look great but I’ll have to find a different alternative☹️

Oh you say that now lol, little ******** appear out of nowhere and create chaos on your bench!

And now I want to listen to the Wall!

Brian sometimes I have to take a visible inventory of what I have started. I dare not keep track of the time investment otherwise I’d probably try to find shortcuts. Thank you for the compliment. The three window, 32 pickup and the 29 pickup have current build threads.

It is my endeavour to gift you bench squirrels! 🐿️ The 5W will have a moment in the sunlight soon. It’s currently at the Deuce works.

I’m liking the direction this is going!

Well that’s awesome, thanks Jim!

@customline Jim could you show a closeup of your exhaust clamp hangers?
