Very nice

Pm sent ??

Well the one thing I have is a great appreciation for the MK1 chassis! move owned this since 2002

Some progress today,mocked up the snapper frame rails/floor pan and did some trimming with my dremel, dug out a 31 for frame and trimmed some pieces to add to the rails. roughly fabricated some engine mounts so that I can place a mock up engine in the rails, help keep everything in line. I will be using the front suspension from an amt 41 woody that I got as a trashy rebuilder, the x brace and rear from that kit will work as well. I’ll hopefully use the quick change from the 25t as well

Realistically all I need is the frame as most of the rest of the parts will change and/or be modified. But that being said, the rad/and grille could be useful.

Thank you @Kit Karson

Looks like a very well detailed kit, I’m interested to see the detail in the engine bay.

The learning never stops here??. Thank you for the step by step process, I’d be interested in seeing the 32 5 window process as well. gives me inspiration for my builds. How do you calculate the measurements for the chop? Is there a scale formula for this, and keep it simple I don’t build rocket appliances for a living lol.

I’ll be following along for this one as well, as I’ve recently started a 33 build myself, and your source material for the suspension is very similar to where I was headed with mine( minus the actual kit frame )

Ok I’m hopeful to source one this weekend, a local modeller from a fb group has invited me to do some trading this weekend. he has offered all his flathead engines and parts and potential scot blower

That would be greatly appreciated, but unless you are in Canada I don’t think that would be an affordable option. And considering shipping from the us right now is darn near the price of a new kit locally, and delays of up to 30-45 days sigh

Thank you, I think my biggest challenge right now will be the frame, all I have to start with is the snapper frame, I could not locate locally a full kit, so there will be some doubting moments

Did some required surgery, things are starting to align I’m happy and the body work will continue, still on the hunt for an amt 34 frame to put under this, I don’t think the snapper frame is correct enough for my liking. I had removed the roof from the 3 window in hopes of fitting it to the other body, but I realized the door lines didn’t line up, (yes I could have scribed new ones) I’m trying to not let this get ahead of my skills too far so that it doesn’t end up as an unfinished build!

This is too nice and rare to cut up for a hot rod. monogram 1/24 early iron, got it with a pile of rebuilders and shells.

Unless you are in Canada I’m afraid that may not be helpful!

I’m hoping To source one of those this weekend!

That may not happen unless I find them for-sale in Canada, I’m still waiting on a parcel from Montana that was mailed on Dec 8th. still shows in transit

So I’m going to attempt to not smash this one out and take some careful time getting this one right, as you may know about me, I find a pic on the internet and try my best to make as representable account of it in 1/25 scale, usually with my own little twist. So this one is kind of different. my Friend Matt Murray (Iron trap garage on YouTube) has a 33 3 window, he has just started to work on it and it is in its rawest form, I’m going to try to replicate this car in it’s finished state. So I’ll be looking into the future a little and maybe adding my own twist to the final result. So here are a couple of pics of his car, and the pile of plastic I’ll be starting with. I may be overstepping my skills, but hell I’m up for the challenge! follow along and as always all comments are welcome!

Inspiration, I started one of those in the eighties, I may have to get another and start again.

Thank you, it was a fun build!

With the exception of the headlights it’s almost done!

Got some more work done on this tonight, interior is finished and body mounted to the frame. Couple of more details and I’ll see the finish line.

Well that there is some inspiration for the 33/34 snapper I’ve had languishing in a box??

Whoa I almost forgot about this one! well some progress has been made. interior is almost finished and I found a neat rad cap ornament. will hopefully finish the front suspension tonight

Nice update, I’ve been following along, bit above my skill level but learning techniques is always good, excited to see this in primer!
