bluestringer

Finished the chassis. Started working on the decals.

Got the decals yesterday. Got most of the chassis/cage done.

That 32 Ford is a great kit. I built one a couple weeks ago.

This Kurig coffee pod holder works good for holding the Tamiya acrylic bottles. My wife came up with the idea.

Picked up a couple at Ollie's. They were 33% off.

This will be my first build for 2024. The 1998 Daytona win number 3. Got the paint on, and got the decals ordered, should be here next week.

Beautiful build. Nice work.

Looking good. Nice work.

Thanks all. I had a lot of fun building these. I actually have a couple more I started but didn't finish.

Don't have a photo of the 1:1 but this is the replica. First car I owned, bought in 1969 when I graduated high school. 1966 Impala SS 396.

15 builds this year............

Thanks. Thanks.

Looks great Bob. Nice work.

Calling it done.

Thanks.

I combined 2 kits to build this one. I used the wheels, tires, front and rear suspension/rear end and the 392 Hemi engine from the Revell 5 window coupe. The rest is the Monogram 32 Ford Classic Cruiser kit. It took a little modification to make the suspension work and to get the stance where I wanted. I had to also modify the trans on the Hemi to get it to sit right in the frame. I scratch built the exhaust system and the driveshaft. The exterior paint, engine, and frame is Tamiya X-13 metallic blue acrylic. The interior is Tamiya XF-17 Sea Blue, which looks almost black except in certain light. Had fun with this one and I think it came out ok. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Thanks Carl.

Looks great. Nice work.

Beautiful Monte Carlo Mario. Excellent work.

Been too cold the last few days to spend much time in my work shed. Don't have much heat out there. Not getting much interest in this build anyway, I'll probably not update anymore on it.

Looking good so far Bob. I've never worked with anything resin, I'll be following to see how it works out. Looking forward to seeing the progress.
