custom build of progress thread ENDDATE JANUARY 31/09
sdrodder replied to sdrodder's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Bro no worries. I havent painted mine yet. I just modified my rear fenders with the roof scoops form the origional 57 chevy kit. Also skirted the fenders and molded them in. Well whatcha think. No all i need are some bullet taillights and a 53 ford canted quad healights from the truck kit. Well whatcha think. Still need to finish putty work and then primer it. -
he got his cars you got your cars. Also you say ur car is SMOOTH. Well i dont see you spraying real flake. If he thinks is good then its good. If you think its not DONT COMMENT I personaly like all his builds and i think his paint is nice and smooth.

rob could you help me out realy quick. Could you get me some pics with the rear axel mocked up and with the fender section on it. I need some pics of how much space is between the axel and the floor of the bed. Also need to know how much space is in the front between axel and oil pan. Could you help me. I want to make a air ride suspension. Your stance is how i want it with bag deflated. Any help would be great.

Nice a 37. I have actually never seen a 37 custom. Never. I have seen a mild rod once with wire wheels like kaddy style not the lowrider wheels. Its kindof a dark green on the fenders and a mint green on the rest of the body. Well i will start on my truck now. Hope to have some pics by tonight or tomorrow. Well see you guys latter. -
may come. dont know yet.

Well been running my head into a wodden wall. Been trying to build a working air suspension for my 50 truck. Well first i wasted about 7 inches of plastic then abot a foot of thin hose and now about 30 bendy straws. Preety mad. Either it blew up, didnt let air in, flew aparts, Had a leak ect. I just scraped the idea. Need to talk to ajulia on this board if he can tell me how he did his poseable hyrolic setup. Gona wip that in there then. Well besides my headbanging, i got a template for my fender skirts and got the tailights picked out. 59 caddy lights in origional 57 chevy roof rockets or whatever they were called. Gona cut my skirts either tonight or tomorrow then mold them in and the mold the tailights in. Anyone have a 53 for grill with the canted quad headlights???? Would love to put one in like that for the grill and then caddy bumperets. Color well thank EvilOne for that. It will be testors jade green with flake over it. May have him even mix it up for me. Well thats my update so far. Love the color on the 61. Love it. Well gona catch some fresh air now and help my dad out in the garden. MAybe tomorrow i will start headbanging again. Hope you guys are havin fun. -

Oh wait i spelled it wrong i mean Kustomized rear fenders Will post some pics later tonight. Will wire the motor and maybe plum it. Thats it for right now. Any updates from you guys?? -
Yo kev. Chill for a couple weeks then come back. Spend some quality time with whatever is important in your life and then come back. I had to take a break to for about 2 weeks because something happened on my model car and second something happened in my family. Just chill for a few weeks and then come back full of ideas and will finish them builds.

Then came back full of ideas and a fresh sense of mind. Well hope to see ya come back dude. -

for body work i use the spot putty at wall mart, the bondo that comes in a jar from wall mart. And with my dad workin as a body tech i am able to get the evercoat putty which sometimes only has a quarter left but lasts me for about half a year.
