  1. ADL, Just checkin' in and following up on the '33 Panel project... any update for your fine followers? -KK
  2. ADL, I guess I'll have to figure out another way of expressing my sincere appreciation for your classic style and grace in bringing traditional hot rod ques and period perfect parts together! I know we go way back and I've been privileged to be one of your mentors along with @Rockin' Rodney Rat and truly commend you on how well your skills and execution have improved over the past few years. This little koop is again right up there with all of your other very kemp rods in your model stable. I know RRR feels very much the same as I do... keep up the good work and know that a fortunate few are now your faithful followers and are learning about and seeing the 60's hot rod scene through your kool kreations! -KK
  3. Anton, thanks for tappin' in! These both have been a bit of a challenge... here's how I left the '49 Chevy 3100 Suburban Woody -KK
  4. Got a little time at the bench over the weekend working on the Woodpecker Speed Boat... added a brace & a little uplift to the bow deck support... If you look a bit closer, you can see what having the deck stretched over the bulkheads has accomplished! This shows the net effect of stretching: Had to fill around the center plank: After a bit of sanding... the deck goes back to the stretcher! -KK
  5. Woodpecker Speed Boat Update & Mock-up Small repair need to deal with the removal of the original hatch stops... And, add a brace under the bow deck... Powered by a AMT '53 Studebaker w/6 2s & AMT '26 Touring bench & '53 Studebaker dash... they're in there! 'til next time -KK
  6. Scale Boxes & Signs on fotki https://public.fotki.com/jferren/scale-boxes--signs/ Examples: And, many more! -KK

  10. Made it in the shade! Happy with the progress while under house arrest! Stay safe -KK
  11. Now let's see how it all fits together... -KK But, will it all fit together?!. -KK
  12. Well, with all the cutin' & fitin' are done... let's cut right to the chase!
  13. Not really concerned with finishing these in the next couple of weeks... time to work on making the LT5 fit and that the firewall is recessed enough for it to fit! -KK We'll let this set up before we go further... -KK Used the .060 x .188" strips to fashion the filler pieces...
  14. Your attention to the real details is awesome! Keep on keepin' on! -KK
  15. Brother, I've been watching your "Paint" truck build to see what I can barrow from you expertise! You nailed the missing stops for the 3100 inner fender wells!! Been very fortunate with the way my 3100 is coming together!!! Think about visiting our show this coming November... OK? -KK 2020 ACME NNL Southern Nationals
  16. Kurt, its a complement! And, I honor your research and execution!! Way beyond me and I don't mind saying it!!! Keep up the great job you are doing on this "Paint Truck", Brother! -KK
  17. Got started on the recessed '49 Chevy 3100 Suburban Woody firewall... Now to fill the opening... -KK Just have to MacGyver a way to level the surfaces... Where there's a will... there's a way! -KK
  18. Kurt, you win! I quit!! Watching you reminds me that I still build model kars like a little kid!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!!! -KK
  19. Ditto! -KK
  20. Tom, you are so right on with your assessment of my progress... Here's where the saw meets the 'wall... Found a couple of wasted Revell Deuce recessed firewalls that will fill the bill! -KK
  21. Time to make the '39 Wagon Rod LT5, 375 hp, double overhead, V8 with electric fuel injection fit into the '49 Chevy 3100 Suburban Woody... Need to dress up a little frame mating... Let's see how it fits... so far so good... Houston! We have a problem!! -KK
