My building is going to slow down now that the High School boys swimming has started back up and homework is piling on.

Heres my 34 "Competition Coupe", fitted with the 409

Now that High School boys swimming has started up my building is going to slow down. I did get some things chipped away at though. I cut the floor out of the frame and started work on angling the rear up and bobbing it. I also scratch built a model a style rear cross member. And the quick change is out of the monogram t bucket. The front wheels are out of a polar lights funny car and the tires are the Perelli front runners out of the Revell 31 sedan. The rear wheels believe it or not are are the front wheels out of the AMT 40 Willys, sanded down the rim for a better look because the amt rims always seamed to thick. I also cleaned up the engine by taking off the heads and actually gluing them on correctly, I also stripped the brush painted paint off to reveal that 90s AMT brown plastic because this is out of the amt 57 Chevy with the yellow car on the front.

This one's lookin' real good. I always liked the 57's over thr rest of that body style.

These look awesome, you should get back on them!

This things lookin great! Maybe you could add a bit of negative camber to the rear end because when you lowered a real bug thats what would happen.

Man, I always tell myself that I need to build everything before painting like Dennis Lacey but I can never do it. Usually its figuring it out along the way, but my current build looks like i should be able to do all the scratch building before paint. The figuring it out along the way seams to go well for you most of the time though.

If I did that 5 or so parts would get lost in the carpet.

That 57 box art looks unique, I actually quite like it. Creig, have you checked our local Walmarts for kits yet?

I was watching this amazing documentary a couple weeks ago. It goes into about the tragedy of the edmund fitzgerald. It is very well made with amazing CJI and a lot of great in person interviews. Definitely sit down to watch this one in full, highly recommend. RIP to the 29 sailors that died that awful night.

Okay guys, I need to know if you guys think this front axle needs moved forward, because it looks a little to far back? Edit: Looking at some photos, I think i have it sitting on the frame wrong, oops!

Amazing combo on this one Tim. And that wax residue looks like sand built up from after surfing at the beach.

That's some mighty fine work right there. I think thats a very genious way to build up material, and that things definitely not coming off of there based on how much material you got there.

Amazing work with this one! Crazy how fast you a shaping this one up.

Nice work on that chassis swap! I love doing modern kit chassis under old hard to find kits. I actually put a amt 66 fairlane chassis in an annual 66 ford falcon. It had to be shortened a bit but sence they were based on the same chassis IRL with the fairlane being longer it is realy as correct as you can get.
