my 41 buick sedan delivery was a bash of my resin 41 buick coupe and my resin 41 chevy sedan delivery. i seen a 46-8 chevy at grand nat show 3 or so years back. they took a car body and a sedan deli body and made panel fit the car body. mad for a more proportioned door on the panel. i had the buick and thought i try a buick instead, looks even more elegant i was thinking. the whole under body is a 41 ford woody i made up when i worked on the other 2 buicks. built 8/29/25 thanx for lookin, glen

this is a kit bash of my chopped version of my 41 chevy coupe with a 37 ford bed i believe. the entire chassis and engine is from the 39 wagon rod. interior tub was 50 chevy with a hump in floor and 59 chevy dash. 50 chevy was the back of the new cab also. i carried the side profile of the coupe through the rear widened fenders to the narrower 37 ford bed. i wanted to use the wagon rod with its wider rear tires also. i wanted a closed cab pickup like a pic of a orange real one i had saved. built 7/8/25 thanx

this is a kit bash of the chopped version of the 48 ford coupe and a 50 ford pickup kit. i wanted a closed cab pickup. i had to make the frame a little longer to line up the the wheels in wells. some tweeking to get it lower, and decided to use the 50 hood. built 7/1/25

nice creativity, lov to see it!

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

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

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

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

thanx, and it can get very overwhelming even as i rotate thru different parts of the processes. i think 3d is going to change our hobby, but im old school and an ole doog. so ill stick with resin till its not fun anymore, along with spray cans. i like building what i like and try to get to what i see. ive kitbash and cut um up along time, these daz seems i like that part more than the building (eyes, patience, fingers have changed ) i realize my abilities (lotta years of playin with models) detail people are amazing in what they see and do, weathering, air brush, WOW! but im that visual person, not rivets, the look, flow. car shows for colors and ideas. even in my real first car, i didnt need to get there fast, just look good getting there. enjoy the building and enjoy each others. glen damodelguy -
very bizzy year, mines slightly different. i still love to build my creations, but i create my builds and cast them first. ive created 34 bodies that ive casted and listed, sold 336, and built 12 for the year. i have 40 of my creations i haven't been able to build yet. got to make time for more of that this year more often. thanx for lookin. builds are single car pics
-
very nice collection
-
finished up building finally another of my creations. 37 cord coupe built 10/9/24. i ended up building mine with the kit parts. was going to street rod it, and put a 36 ford chassis maybe under it with a v8. but the color, had it a rumble seat instead if closing the trunk and added a spare on the rear, felt like it needed a more stock look. thanx for looking, glen damodelguy
