18th annual 24 Hr build-Revell 37 Ford Coupe-New, better photos added
Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in Model Cars
Yes. Started at Noon Saturday, took time out to nap from 4:30 AM to 7:00 AM. Got back on it at 7:30 and finished at 11:45 AM on Sunday. Makes me wonder what takes me so long on all of may other builds. Later- -
Just finished this today for the 18th annual 24 Hr build. Widened the rear wheels, lowered the suspension, molded in different taillights, wired the engine, added rare earth magnets to hold the hood in place, altered the kit exhaust and added turned aluminum mufflers. Airbrushed Testors "Colors by Boyds" (remember them?) Purple Pearl for the body and a custom mix of House of Kolor for the frame. A few aftermarket parts (MSD ignition box, Aluminum mufflers). The Rat Fink decal was one that I had in a parts box that I inherited from my buddy, Mike Flynn. A fun night of building and now I have another one for the shelf! If you haven't done one of the 24 Hr builds, you should. They are a blast to see the variety of builds from many different entrants (think we were somewhere between 150-200 this year- most tied in over Zoom) Later-

Thanks for the warning. I actually started one of the coupes at the same time as this one. I just didn't get as far on it. I did see where I would need to give attention to that area. Here is the coupe I started. It is just mocked up on the wheels but I'm liking it. Later-

Nice looking build! I've always thought about getting this and some of the other "fluff" kits to build for fun but never have. You're making me think again. Later-

Yep, early style air conditioner (a swamp cooler). You see them a lot on the lowrider bomb style cars. Later-

Thank you! I thin the paint 50/50 with Mr Hobby Leveling thinner. You can also use good ol lacquer thinner. Later-

I just finished this up tonight. I built it to see how it goes together before I build the coupe on Saturday for the 18th annual 24 hr build-off. Airbrushed LA Colors "Blue Moon" nail polish, lowered suspension, resin/PE LaSalle grill, die cast wheels and tires, Revell Parts Pack Caddy engine, 3d printed Thermador window mounted A/C, modified parts box sun visor, customized kit exhaust. The build was a bit of a pain but I had fun. Later-

Just got this in today. Never seen the bed mounted stereo and it was a surprise since it was not included in the pictures of the sale. Only needs a rear bumper and taillights. Later-
