Looks Great, I like the long wheel base, did you lengthen the frame? I see your in NC me too, Charlotte. We have a few rainy days coming up

Thanks guys, this one has really been fun! Did alittle work on the grill today,

Crank, You always amaze me, I love the look all your builds have. Great work and thanks for sharing and inspiring me.

Wheels and tires done!

Wow !!! awesome workman ship that paint is stunning...If I didn't know better I'd think they were the real thing!

I did this one about 12 years ago, I think the paint was Boyds Sunburst.

Just cant stop today had to finish the driver side.

Thanks Ed, Geroge53, I was thinking the same thing WWII, but wanted to hand paint it I did a serch for nose art and came accross a Skull with Goggles and thought that was COOL! so gave it a try .. I like it have to let dry compleatly before I can rub it down to fade it out... thanks for the ideas vizio93, thats the plan, we will see how it goes, thanks for the incouragement! ok its dry enough!

Well I was able to get back to it today... I tried the green thing and just didn't like the color was too dark but thought it would look Good faded out .. still looking for a graphic for the door. Any body have some ideas?

Nice!!!! what an original Idea (that i might just have to steal)... I would suggest headers that dumps in to a large collector just is front of the door , make it follow the line on the bottom of the fire wall ...that would be killer!

Nice jalopy you got there, looks great, any interesting ideas for the interior?

I didn't get much done today, scratch build a caliper, the first one was easy, but getting 3 more to match will be the hard part I think?

When I started this project I was going to do a suede Green paint job, but had thought? Olive drab Green with Army star all faded out on the doors?...i just don't know... Has any one used photo shop to try different paint schemes? i have seen it done on other 1:1 forums. I don't know how to use photo shop or i would give it try.

I got one but have not had the courage to build it yet! ...

Came up with a new bomer seat design..What do you think?

Hey, thanks guys... I think the hardest part of a chop is not the chop it self but making every thing else fit?.. had to compleatly change the back seat area and re-work the wheel tub area.. came out ok .. i think a picknic basket in the back would look cool? just a thought..

Welcome, All good advice above, I would add…be patient! Take your time, and when it comes to glue less is more. I suggest getting some tooth picks to apply the glue to the parts. Read all the instructions and familiarize you self with all the parts and build in sub assemblies. Engine, Chassis, interior, then finial assembly and test fit all the parts before adding glue. As for detailing, I would get a few box stock builds under my belt then think about adding the extras; anything that you want to be good at it takes practice. With practice, time and patience you will be building models you will be proud of in no time. There are a lot of good tips and tricks here in the forum and a lot of good modelers more than happy to help you feel free to ask questions. Good luck!

Hi Gary, I not far from you, @ the other end of the 485 in Steele Creek on 160..have you been able to find any good hobby shops? the only one I know of is Hobby Stop in Rock Hill and they also have a build club I think they met on Thursdays night?

Nice work , very clean...cant wait to see more

The tires are from revells 29 ford pick up Good guys they are a 2 peice rubber and hard plastic insert.. i just left them white plastic (should have shot a coat of dull coat on em)

I didnt have a blower in the parts box but came a cross this engen? I think its a Y block not sure, I will look on line for some good blower set ups? any body have a any ideas?

Wow, great detail love the subject, If not flames scalops would look sharp too!

Cool idea! do you plan to graft the fender scales? I heard that Chrysler is discontinuing the Chalanger after 2011 model year? so building one may be the only way to get one !

Thanks guys, I did a little more today, chopped the grill and started mocking up the steering. The more i look @ this one it just screams BLOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
