Some progress on the Travelall.......all together,,,have to fab up an exhaust system,,this was a build and plan later job! lol,using some Chrysler mufflers and some pipes,,the Fireball tires/wheels and front lock hubs made a big difference,,I might try and add on the body side chrome molding .Have to make a battery tray-battery,master cylinder and wipers yet

Thanks Zip!

Thanks Gary!

Thanks Bruce!

Finished her up,,basically a stock build,,STS decals,Fireball carbs, MCW lacquer with clear,,had an extra hood so I did that in primer,used Cragars but the car ran with Keystones too

Gary ,maybe some K&S brass bent to the same shape to reinforce the bumper or even a piece of brass rod tucked in the upper 90 angle

Looks good! Yeah 3D Concepts has some nice stuff!

Monogram SuperBee chassis pan in the Polara,,pretty close ,,,might have to add some strips to fill the rocker "frame" rails to body too. I think I'll just add to the front frame rails a tad for that little difference,,,what do ya think ? I would just make some longer torsion bars . The trans mount would be shy a bit too,,Or section the pan in front of the rear frame rails and add a bit there? OR section it right behind the torsion bar sockets ?? I think moving it forward to where the control arm/spindle would be centered in the wheel well add the difference in the pan and move the rear section so the axle is centered

That's coming along nice Ron! .............I'm taking notes.......hmmmmm 🙂

I just pulled out and checked the Superbee chassis pan ,,,,it will fly. I think the easiest way to gain the little bit in the wheelbase will be to lengthen the front frame rails rather than section the floor pan ,,I'll take some pics tomorrow.Oh and the 3D print engine is bad,,actually undersize,and the Torqueflite looks like a Powerglide,lol,so I'll use a Monogram 1/24th 440 or look for a better 3D job on the innerweb.I've done a bit more on the Travelall today ,,I ordered some better tires and steelies from Joe at Fireball,they should be here soon

Yep,,same file

Thanks DJ,,I think I'll be able to come up with something for the front end ,,,actually the whole floor pan and front/rear suspension ,8-3/4 needs revision

I have a Monogram Superbee kit laying around ,,maybe I can use stuff from that

From what I've read it was the #1 all time best police cruiser,,supposedly hit 145+ mph on the proving ground

I got the kit from Madman today,,,,positives> the body is beautiful ,came with 2 grille options (one with the "Superlight" and 2 bumper options ,with and without bumperettes ,interior looks good ,engine and wheels ok,,,the bad>>> the chassis pan is a cross between a pro touring or something GM'ish with coil over shocks and full upper and lower control arms,,,no torsion bars or struts or something that would resemble the "C" body front stub frame with a "K" member ,,,so I'll have to deal with that ,,being 1/24th maybe I can pirate some stuff from a Monogram Mopar kit .Other than that it will be my future California Highway Patrol build with steelies and dogdish caps,,I already have some CHP decals. Any other ideas on the front suspension I'm open for comments .The kits rear leaf springs are ok and something that sorta try's to look like an 8-3/4 ,,,lol

Thanks Francis! My Dad had a 64 Travelall and 2 69 Scouts along with his 70 Fleetstar/Holmes 600 wrecker ,,,so I have a soft spot for Cornbinders ! I should have the Polara by the end of the week,,I'll start a thread for the build when I get it . Working part time has cut into my bench time,,,but I like the $$ ,,,,lol

Hardly any Francis ,,,just a few spots where the supports were ...very high quality print job,,,I ordered another kit from him,a 1969 Dodge Polara 4dr ,,,for a CHP cruiser I'm going to do

Vegas Blue Iridescent, a 1962 IH truck color

Waiting for some stuff from Joe at Fireball for the Dart so I started on this 62 IH Travelall 3D print from Madman Models I picked up on ebay awhile back ,,just shot the color today ,,,thinking either a few different shades of gray or a combo blue/gray for the interior ,Very nice quality 3D print job with a detailed 345 V8

Nice! I built that kit when it 1st came out,,,one of the best truck kits of it's time IMHO

Nice !

I have a set from Chris but used a set I had STS make ,the STS set had the white panel and were a bit more defined

..........decal,,just on the C pillar and along the roof drip rail

This is an inbetweener of an inbetweener of contemplating my next big truck build,lol . Charlie Castaldo's 68 LO23 Dart ,paint is done now on to BMF

Lee,,that was/is a great kit ! From what I understand those molds got lost. I found mine on ebay too ,,,I should have shortened the wheelbase up a tad though .You'll make her sweet ,,,nice project!
