Got some more trimming done on the 47, and the wife is gonna have me tank the Fairlane, she didn't like the color, but I will be doing that car again with that same color cuz it looked fantastic. I got a little bit of suspension done on the Fairlane, and tires and rims lined out. Will assemble them tomorrow likely and start doing more work on the engine to at least get the engine/frame fully ready. Will have to do some painting on the frame for some detail stuff.

Looking great! Excellent work on the adding the trim!

Fantastic Craftsmanship! And thanks for sharing your tips and tricks your employing as you work through things!!

Some hard core grinding, and even did a little frame massaging. Gonna be fun tucking things into this bay. Have to figure out the radiator once I get the motor/trans set into place. After that then it's a pretty straight forward build.

Bench time is light but I am puttering a bit each night, I will be taking some pics tonight, of the fender work I did. Found I have to do a bit more shaping, to get things to settle. Also looking like I get to massage somethings like crazy to get it to fit. I have yet to do a test fit with the engine assembled, but doing fits as I go, so I don't over remove material.

Beautiful @gtx6970 I agree about taking pics, let's you find things you miss.

Dude! Your killing this! I normally don't do snap kits, but... it does give a reason to perfect other techniques I could use on other kits. Your interior is mint!

Thanks Carl! I plan on a bit more bench time tomorrow, will have some pics to post on progress on the engine and engine bay.

No pics, but did some grinding on the inside of the 47 front fenders, and it looks like I will have to do a bit more to get things to sit, will likely post tomorrow after I get more bench time.

Work of art in progress! I love the rear wheel wells! Those are slick! I am a sucker for that style as well on the stuff I see on a day to day basis!!

That is a beautiful car!

Incredible!

Looking good sir! I like the look of it, gives me 100% barn find feel!

Yeah, and I know once I get past the engine install, the rest is easy. Flat black and murdered fully out! And stock ride height I will throw some color in the interior but not sure what yet.

That is pretty wicked!

That is slick work my friend! Nailed it!!

Yeah I have to get the dremel out and fix some of the roughness of cutting out I did. I will likely have to cut more and build back once I get the TT put together. (And there is a good shot I will have to build a custom front suspension.)

Check my post on the 47 Chevy Aerosedan. But here's what else I got done, some work on the wife's 57 Fairlane. Color is Pink/Gold Iridescent PS-47 over Tamiya Pink Primer. Funny part is ... under some light it looks copper/brassy, under other it looks like Rose Gold. I hope I don't have to throw it in the pond again for another color change. Wife is unsure about it atm. If she keeps it like it is, I have to do some wet sanding, I got some finger prints in it, and a couple dust bunnies, then will reshoot it, if not then pond and another color choice.

A little work on this ole gal tonight. There is a few parts for the 57 Fairlane for the wife on the one with the turbo parts. Once they dry it's a bit of detailing. (I will pull up the TT engine I saw to help with what to paint as well.

Also 👍

That is awesome inspiration!!

That is going to be sweet! I like the early look!

@slusher Take care of you man! And post up what you get done, enjoy the book, heck, read two or three bud!

This is gonna be wicked!
