I hear ya. I weighed the options and this was a much better fit. Took out the ole dremel tool and the hobby saw and got after it. The chassis has been cleaned of all unwanted debri and shortened.

Lately the weather has been so cold or rainy that I haven't been able to do much painting at all. With that being said I've decided to start another project. I wasn't to sure about this build but after doing a mock-up this morning I think I'm liking what I see. I tried the Revell 1937 pickup body on the AMT 2021 Bronco but it just didn't look right to me so, I tried the AMT Chevy Silverado and it is the victim for this project. The chassis will have to be shortened about 1" plus a lot of other mods just to make this chassis fit the 37 body. I found a Ford engine with duel quads sitting on the rack so I pulled it down to be used in the business end of this project.

Haha....I'm trying my best to salvage this mess I created.

Thanks. Yeah, I have a plan. I just need some nice weather so I can get some painting done.

Now that looks pretty kewl. I'm liking the figures.

Good looking mods. That windshield came out nice.

Haha...made me laugh. Back in the day my in-laws had dune buggy's. Nice looking build.

Pretty kewl looking Dragster with that 426 Hemi up front. I'll bet that would be a wild ride looking through that glass.

Welcome aboard Dale. Hopefully someone here on the forum can help you out.

Nice looking 56. Great color combo and the wheels & tires are just the ticket.

Nice looking Dart. This one works for me. Nicely done.

I finally made it out to the garage for some bench time but I won't be out here long. I got the garage up to 51° but it's just to cold to enjoy it. But, I did get a little done. Since this is going to be a goofy build I drilled holes for the spark plug wire and the exhaust pipes in the hood. I cut some 3/16" X .014" brass tub about 3/16" long and glued them into some small plastic squares I cut. These will be glued to the underside of the hood once all the painting is done.

Nice looking. That'll pull a Big trailor with two or three race cars inside.

Great looking little pickup.

Mighty fine looking Nova.

Welcome back to the bench Chris.

Yup...I'm diggin it. Really nice looking pickup.

Really nice looking Z28. Love the blue.

Good looking 66 pickup so far man. Nice work.

David, Your right man....it's a mess for sure. There is no decent weather coming to get any painting done. 3° this morning and when it does warm up it nothing but rain. Come on Spring ?

Really nice start. Love the looks on this one.

Boy, this is really looking good.

Well fellows, anyone that has a Hot Rod, Restmod, Muscle car, etc. knows that we are never done. There is always some sort of project going on.

Great looking 61 Impala SS Bubble top. Nice looking pics as well.

Looks like 2023 was a mighty fine year.
