  1. Good Idea. We did have a bottler in a nearby city.
  2. Thanks Mike. It will be a while before I start on it, but I will keep that in mind. May do the same as you and just leave the hood off.
  3. Hobby Lobby 40% off week, picked up this 40 Willys Truck gasser..........
  4. Engine is ready except getting it wired, and the headers will go on after it's installed in the frame. Some chassis pics, not through with it yet, it's been very fiddley. The rear housing is not attached, I will try to cut out a section on each side and move the wheels/tires inboard, but there's not much there to work with.
  5. Put some clear on the body, Revive It floor polish. Working on the chassis and man is this thing fiddley. It looks like I can remove a small section of axle housing on each side and get the slicks in a little further, but probably not tucked all the way under.
  6. Jay Howie..........White Room....
  7. Yes, the Hendrix version is the one most recognized, although it was covered by several artist. Check out some of Jay Howie's other covers also.
  8. Looks great. Love it. Nice work.
  9. Yea, I don't have any that would work anyway. The slicks in the kit are pretty narrow, looks like I will have to shorten up the rear axle to get them further in. That may require some other modifications also. I'll work on it and see what I can come up with.
  10. Really cool gasser. Love the green. I did a 57 Chevy gasser in green with the Gangreen decals last year.
  11. Welcome to the forum from a Southern Redneck down in South Georgia.
  12. That is looking great. Really nice shine. How long are you waiting between coats of the Future?
  13. Thanks Carl. That's a good idea, I'll see what I have that might work.
  14. Thanks.
  15. This thing is designed to have the rear slicks sticking out past the fenders. I don't care for that look so I going to try and fix that, and have them tucked up in the fender wells. Not sure what modifications I'll need to make yet.
  16. Thanks Mike. Thank you.
  17. Jay Howie, All Along the Wacthtower........Jimi Hendrix cover.....
  18. The Allman Brothers At Fillmore East, Statesboro Blues..........Blind Willie McTell cover.......
  19. Martin Miller and Andy Timmons, Still Got the Blues................Gary Moore cover.
  20. Calling it done, warts and all. Did not come out as planned, had a few set backs, but it's ok. I lost one of the front turn signal lights moving it to the photo spot, have not found it yet. And I noticed the rear bumper is a crooked, I'll need to fix that. I used the 67 Chevelle Pro Street frame, only took a little modification to fit under the 55 body, and the wheels and tires are from the Chevelle. I also used the BBC engine from the same kit. It fit ok but there was not enough room at the front of the engine bay to mount a fan without it hitting the radiator, so I flipped the radiator and added a electric fan to the front. I've seen this done in 1:1 and the fan has to be a pusher, not a puller. Paint is Createx Phat Halo Green.
