Thanks ...

Patrick, I think the best way would be to try and find a second set of fenders. On one set cut a wide section. Cut the second set as a narrow section, maybe just less than a 1/4 of the width of the original and mate those back together to create your widen fenders. I don't know how close the kit parts are in size but the fenders used on the 1:1 55/57 Chevy Pickup are the same design as the sixties up until 1967. You might be able to find separate fenders from the AMT kits of the 55/57 stepsides that would eliminate have to remove the fender from the bedside, and they should be easier to find than the Revell fenders.

David, I like where this is headed. I do have a question though. Is the roof going to have that radical rake to it as shown in the next to last stance side shot ? The reason I ask is this. A working side glass would be hard to do in "real life" because of the vent window frame having a reverse angle. Might need to eliminate the vent wings and go with a solid side glass, like some of the 1:1's do . That for sharing your work here!!

I use a variety of things from a nice Shabo Paint Stand, coat hangers and old primer cans. One of my nest buys is going to be the nice Tamiya stand set!

Today is his birthday ... according to the stats he has not been around since January! What gives? I really enjoyed his posts of all of those fine Vettes and other builds ...

Here you go Bob... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59736

Per Too Old's (Bob) request... Mine is a running gag with my sister in law and her husband that I used on facebook!!! My back in the day cycle days .. Actually a photo from Trike magazine of a Cool Corvair powered trike. It was one of the first photos I had that was about the right size without anymore work ...

Cool!!!

Also watch out for jerks on bikes that think just because their bike will FIT between you and the loaded semi next to you ,driving @ 70 mph, they should be able to pass you there ... Almost got us ALL killed ! True story and I was driving a van loaded with teenagers! What an idiot! Romell, Enjoy the bike, just be safe!

Very Nice Jim ... Now ship it on over!!

Chuck, I have been toying with a way to change that.

Does that mean you don't want to see the Ranchero? And you may be right about the P/M info and it not being a great seller. Seems like the last one I bought was a clearance item @ Hobby Lobby.

Another great job!!! Thanks for sharing these!

Welcome home, Hal...

It looks great, but I could help but wonder how it would look on 20's and lowered... Different stroke I guess, but I love it!! BTW what shade of green is that? It appears to be the same color my Dad's '55 Chevy was for all of it's life until recently ... Sherwood Green!

I think many people don't like giving their birthday out of fear of Identity Thieves ... just another piece of the puzzle to keep private.

Nice job ... Send it over, when you are tired of it!!

I kinda wonder why they have not reissued the '70 Torino kits. Nice kit, would look good on Cali wheels or better yet a modified reissued '70 Ranchero Special Edition !!!

DONE!

WOW! Now THAT'S eye-candy!!! Thanks for sharing!

The 3100 is a good kit. My only grip is the incorrect way the cab corners were done.

Actually Rob it was reissued just a few years ago with the same wheels/ lowered suspension that are in the current stepside offering. That is the kit that I am referring to being fairly hard to find.

No body knows this guy and his work???

Recently, The reissued AMT/Round2 Double Dragster with 40%off at Hobby Lobby, Several Hot Rod Cartoons (off ebay) and a virtually pain free ankle for today!

Cut my grass with a '52 8n that my maternal grandfather bought new! I have the original bill of sale. I paid more for it to the estate than it sold for new. oh well it's still in the family!!
