Looking for a chassis and cage donor
Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I think any one of those would work as a good starting point. Now to do some looking. Been getting some work done on the hood tonight. Later- -
Looking for a chassis and cage donor
Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I was wondering about that Beretta kit. Now if I could just get wrenchr to trade me the one he just bought. Lol! Anybody got one they want to trade away? Later- -
I like it! Looking forward to your progress. Later-

Very nice looking! That's going to look great when it's finished. I'm working on a 67 Impala lowrider that I painted the same color. Later-

Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks. I'm not sure about the PS Nova chassis. I took some close up photos of the chassis and cage in the article. It is going to be a chore to build something close so looking for something that has a good start for me. Later- -
Great price! I had one when I was much younger too. Would love to find one. Later-

Anybody know of a kit that would be a good jumping off point for this drag cage and chassis in this 70 Nova? Doesn't have to be exact but a good start would be helpful. Thinking the Matt Hayes T Bird or Glidden Ford. Anybody got something to trade? Later- -

Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
I figured since I needed to buy Flux for soldering that I would make my trunk hinges tonight. After an hour and a half I successfully made one and failed on two more. I'm done for the night!! Later- -

Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Carl, Both doors are decaled. Must have been the way the photos looked. My plan is to keep the paint as it is. I've been looking high and low for my butane torch so I can practice my soldering. Haven't found it yet. Later- -
69 "Jungle Jim" Nova (Fictional build)
Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Yeah, I think that this is going to be my next "stalled project"! Lol. I do believe that I am going to finally have to learn how to solder, which means I should probably convert over to brass. Not so sure what I am doing at the moment will work. This is just superglued together as a quick test. I went through a couple of bins of Mike's stuff that I got and pulled out anything that was tube or rod of approximately the right size. The picture is what I came up with. Time to start sorting!

How do I convert my phone.pics to an acceptable file type
Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in How To Use This Board
Found my problem. My wife changed the picture file sizes on my phone yesterday because they are too large. It changed them from jpg to heic..... Live and learn. Later- -
I got this body from my Buddy, Mike Flynn's "estate" and I'm wanting to finish it up. I tried for years before he passed away to get him to finish it. I always liked the paint work on it. Unfortunately, it has suffered a bit over the years on his bench and the paint isn't as pristine as it once was. I recently got a 69 Nova kit for a few parts that I'll need but the more I mull it over as to how I want to finish it I doubt I'll use much from the kit. Tonight, as I sat his body next to a stock one I was surprised to realize how much he had modified the body. More to come. Later-

Just got these given to me by a friend. They came from her mother's deceased husband. All either sealed or sealed inside. The Lotus is already getting packed to send to Sam I Am. She said that her mom is clearing out all of his stuff. I told her that I'd be interested in any kits, parts, built-ups, tools and supplies that she wanted to get rid of. Later-

I love the mods you have done to this and the clear top. I sure does look like it came from the little.pages of way back! Nice work! Later-

Nice work on your Impala! I like that color very much. I'll have to hunt some down. I'll keep your info on the body fitment in mind since I am getting close to that stage on my lowrider build. Later-

Very nice! I like the shade of green. I need to get back onto my 61-63 Birds. Later-

So, a bit of slow progress on this one but I'm trying not to get caught up in a lot of bench time since I have quite a few projects on the house going. Trying to be reasonable. Anywho, I got the grill and bumper detailed as well as the taillights. Also started today on the chassis and suspension. Filled and sanded low spots on the frame in prep for paint. Made springs out of wire and lowered the rear suspension. I also started on the lowering of the front suspension. Later-
