So I’ve had a little add over this whole project and I find myself skipping back and forth from different stages! So I’ve gotten back to my focus of working on the chassis assembly line. I settled in finding, sorting and repairing enough front and rear suspension pieces. Many hours of picking dries blobs of glue ☹️ So far I’ve gotten 5 of the 11 frames and suspensions up and together (ish). Still a fair bit of work to do, I’ve been trying to use as many of the revell chassis components as possible as I really like the way they look. But I will be adding some Amt parts into the mix. stay tuned. And as always “all” comments are welcome. to quote one of my favourite builders @Kit Karson enjoy the yard sale of parts

Can’t wait to see this in colour, based on your colour choices for the chassis and engine this should look very good

@Kit Karsonexcited to see all your hard work in colour!

Best way to keep track as I’m restoring them

Oh I still have resources lol! I haven’t broken open any new kits for parts yet, I have a nice little stash of 27-48 kits for parts!

I like the spinners

I know it’s very modern, but something about this lindberg 37 Ford frame is so cool! Maybe I’ll narrow it and make it work under one of the bodies??‍♂️

Never entered a contest, but I have lots of love for primer builds! excited to see more!

Z’ed frame 1 seems to be a success! phaeton on 34 fenders looks pretty sleek, I’ll lengthen the hood and see how it looks!

Updates, there are updates! I have most of them up on wheels at this point, I need to pilfer some more front end parts from the stash piles. I’ve spent most of Sunday evening getting frames cleaned up and ready for some assembly. Deciding on which body’s will get fenders is the next decision. So far only one is mocked up with fenders ( the delivery van ). The phaeton may be another that gets fenders!

Oh yes, there will be sleepers! as for quick changes I have a couple to work with

Looks good from here Bob, I can’t wait to get to engines, I’m still over here fighting to get 11 frames sorted lol.

To pick up from where I left off, frames! Managed to find and pick through 11 frames in various states of unbuilt to ragged wretched pieces of styrene that should be best sent back to the scrap pile it came from, but I love a challenge. So I’ve selected the best of the worst to start with. I’ll be following a tutorial from our resident @Ace-Garageguy Bill to start my first z-ed frame follow along as I try not to muck this up!

Well it’s chassis day, I need 11 usable frames, so far I have salvaged 9 from my rebuilder pile! I have 1 new kit set aside for the four door ( using the drag city casting body). sadly some of these frames are in rough shape and will need some serious love, and at least 4 of them will need a new front suspension set up as nearly all of them had pieces broken off or missing. so that leads to only one thing !! Creativity!! ?

It’s a good look, go for it!

Thanks Dennis, I managed to score some more parts today, so my goal is a little more achievable.

Lol, that’s not a bad idea

Depending on the politics in the air at the time I will consider that! We do have an office there, so maybe I can make it a work trip!

So the second hardest part is to make all these rebuilder frames usable, my math states I need 11

@m3fan Russel I’m. It going to lie, I believe I found one of your posts and used it as an inspiration to start this undertaking!

I’m following this, one of my favourite shows when I was a kid, and now I’m watching season 1 on Amazon prime lol

Thank you Craig, I think my biggest hurdle will me maintaining the fabric look on the tops, I appreciate the tips. that being said I think the most challenging build will be the B400, not a lot of good resource pics on the ole Interwebs, is it based off the sedan or the Victoria?

Thanks, luckily I’ve enough bits to do all these

Im on the fence as to buy this to add to my group build or just try to replicate it on my own, have fun with your build

I’m planning on making the station wagon as best I can with what I have available, as for the sport coupe I think the uptop will be the hardest challenge. the cabriolet will be fairly easy to pull off
