built my 57 buick panel wagon, used a 55 chevy nomad as donor kit. made interior tub and chassis 1/2 longer. when i went to finish up and put the chassis under the body, SURPRISE! ended up being alot of cutting on top of chassis plate to get the back down for an even stance. (top of tunnel and top of shock floor) it looked like some of our cars in the 70s with the rear ready to shooting off for space. i ended up putting heavy duty springs on front to bring my 73 comino up even with the (stock air shocks raised for my 60s) rear, i liked the just enough raise for tires and front up to even out. oh ya 57 buick, i decided slight wider tire all around black walls on this one. enjoy built 5/15/25 thanx glen damodelguy

built my 51 pontiac fastback chopped, used 51 chevy fleetline for donor kit. had to do some mods here and there, frame longer. i know some use 50 olds, hear it little longer, but we use what we have if we can. built 5/11/25 thanx glen damodelguy

so i finally built and finished my 51 chevy coupe finally , decided to go gasser from the get go. motor and rear tires from a garlits dragster kit. i made good use of that kit tommy, thanx. guess sometimes i feel high, but some times, low. thanx for lookin, glen damodelguy 5/3/25 build #622

well i finished building another of my own castings yesterday. 49 ford ute. i did a lot to make this one happen since it was originally a fiberglass body and front of it was brittle. i also found out that i couldnt superglue fiberglass to a plastic body. ended up coating it all with smear of resin to make halfs stay together. then i put a ranger bed inside. i used the 49 for kit under it. build #621 got body 5/9/24 10.00 built 4/24/25 thanx glen damodelguy

this is my 2nd 41 buick finished next day, carson topped. all under body is 41 ford woody kit donor made to fit. thanx again glen see other listing for more building info.

my 41 buick body recreation, into a chopped coupe. my resin bodies involve your creativity also in finding chassis, interiors, oh and dont forget, fitting windows. i built my 41 buick with a 41 ford woody donor kit. (you my think of a different donor) chassis was lengthened 1/4 back at the rear end area of the frame. it has a second piece of the x frame so it can be used for strength. i also moved the rear back a little to sit in the skirt area a little nicer, and also to lower its stance. i also cut the front axle to move it forward a little, also to lower it. i used the kit pipes but changed the mufflers to make up the added frame lenght. used kit interior, with side panels trimed to fit. hood is solid so i put the kits motor in it. im not as much of a detail person as many are. i built for collection shelf presentation, try to get the parts in place, but not wired, tubed, or even colored up. cant be seen, and wont be judged. im about different, and helping to show you can work outside the box, BOXES i say. tidbit, fellow model buddy, tom w, suggested grinding out from back to put the grille in this body. it worked very well. thanx Tom, im building 3 of these bodies, 1 is a 3rd reconstruction not yet finished to mold yet. so i was working on 3 complete chassis at same time, for the 3 builds and thanx for lookin glen

the color is camel yellow, with several coats of translucent yellow over it. thanx all

this is my body, 50 olds custom sedan, more of an ole bone feel and look. has the custom merc roof on it. thanx for lookin, damodelguy

thanx guys, its a 57 thunderbird wagon

i finished building my created body of my look, 41 ford chopped. i was trying to maintain the original roof line and back window. i chopped the A B pilars, but dropped the trunk line t about even with the rear fenders. this body i used the 48 ford kit and lowered suspension some th get tires into the wells. i also used the lovered hood from 48 and altered back corners to meet the cowl correctly. built 2/5/25 thanx

thanx guys, andy, if the rear quarters were rounded off with out a ridge to the taillight, i probably would not have seen this possible. but when i look at the pick from high on front corner, i see the roof line edge pickup the quarter ridge. we all see what we see and work toward. sometimes we drift one way or other at the y in the adventure. wrong road and its back in the box for a later look if were lucky. i had a visual of this and grab the saw. had a 49 on bench for a ute project, and nova body still from using chassis on another project, clicked, went for it and seen some of a mid 60s falcon right a way. but i always build different. not as detailed as some master modelers, its a visual for me. i make my resins for my collection. thanx for note. glen

49 ford shoebox falcon is my latest build of my creation. this shoebox is all 66 nova under the body. built 1/27/25 thanx for lookin.

some more time on the building bench. my 56 ford squire thunder. is all 64 thunderbolt under the body. built 1/24/25 thanx for lookin. glen damodelguy

first build for 2025 is my 51 jeepster body. this was made from my 53 jeep custom pickup. i used a 60 chevy truck chasssis i had built in parts box (altered of course), parts box seats in a 66 nova interior (also altered). tires from the mount n goat kit. parts box built motor, and boot (i had wrote 61 chevy under it}. always liked these at the car shows, finally could see one in my jeep custom truck body. created and casted jeepster 2/24/24. thanx for looking, glen built 1/22/25

enjoy your collection, i also really like your 37 monster pickup, also the 48 -50 ford hot rod truck. its fun to just work at what we find of interest. thanx for sharing
