Well after about 10 days off, i'm back. Here's a small update;
The engine ste-back will take about 5 steps.
Here's the first:
I'm using X-acto saw and no.11 blade to remove firewall/tunnel
"mock-up":
Will have to trim front of fender a bit.
Traction bars will be shortened some.
more progress pics later. Thanks for looking.

OK, I'll say it...........
APRIL FOOL !!!

Out to the garage for some primer.
Back to the bench.
Later today will be some engine painting and detailing.
For now it's time to saw.
-
Good looking build. Decals look good.
-
Engine and parts ready for primer
Wheels and tires.
Well it's 59 out, guess i'll go to the garage and paint.

Engine components squared up, ready for assembly.
More dechromed parts.Front wheels, also Hilborn injection and scoop.
Still going. More later.

I'll be using the tires and rear wheels from the AWB ChevyII, front wheels from 33 Willys.
I'll need to set the egine back a bit,1/4". I'll cut and modify the front frame to move the engine mounts back
and scratch the front frame braces.
Will need to remove "shaded" area (in 1 piece) and move back 1/4".
Progress pics and maybe some primer later tonight. Thanks for looking.

Small update here.
I'll be doing a more "high dollar" version of this type of car:
BB/Altered.

O.K., I finally was able to get some progress started on this build. I am starting by working on getting the front and rear suspensions together and then branch off from there.
The front suspension is the most difficult due to creating a poseable steering setup using parts of the kit and brass material.
The pics. show the beginnings of the poseable steering. So far I have each spindle created and in place. Next will be to scratchbuild the tie rod and steering pieces.
And the wheels are mocked up. They are machined aluminum pieces. The rear slicks are from So Real.
More to come soon.
Nice job, Wayne. Keep it up.
-
Great job, man. Keep it up with the BMF. Any engine pics?
-
I'll be using the Chevy II AWB chassis plate.
The "purple pond".
Dechromed parts.
Rear spring "shackles" removed. Spring hangers will be moved forward and will use Anglia rear springs
Layout of chassis parts.
Engine mock-up.
Next will be engine and subassemblies and getting body ready for primer.
John, the tires are from Altered States Models.
evil, I'm not a real doctor, but i have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, though.

OK,I'll be entering this build-off as an excersize in basic techniques and to see if I can actually finish a build. This is not a build on my list, just dug through and picked some stuff out. Hopefully, posting here will keep me honest and at the bench.
Here's the kit....MK AWB Mustang
Engine from '33 Willys
Wheels and Tires
Misc. chassis and interior pcs. from '33 Willys and Anglia
Will have progress pics in On The Bench, tonite. Later

Hey all, I've been following the forums for a while. I started building in the early sixties. Probably built every drag kit ever made back in the 60s early 70s. Then got a job and kids. Built a little in the 80s and 90s. The internet got me back in. In 04 dug threw all my stuff..got organized, got some new stuff. In 05 i had heart failure (maybe too much gloscote, model paint and glue, in a confined area as a kid?). Haven't worked since. I've had all kinds of time...hard to get to and stay at the bench. I've got about 7 cars in progress, another 7 or so ready for the bench. Then, of course, a list of "future projects". I decided to join and get in the drag car build. Got a photo-bucket account, yesterday. So, that's about it. Glad to be here. Heres a couple pics of the build area my son(non-builder) helped me with.
OK pics didn't work....any help on that ? Thanks Harry
