John as usual you did another outstanding build. I really enjoying watching this build come to life. Your skills are amazing and I can't say enough about your builds. Thanks again for sharing it with us. I look forward to seeing this in person. I am also looking forward to your next project that you are planning on building. I also love the back ground that you use on all of your pics, its definitely a great photo spot. You did a great job my friend!

Tyrone.... Thanks again for letting me know what kit it was. I really need to pick up one of these kits to have in my collection. never knew they did make the hard top version. I always knew they had the convertible. This '63 is turning out nice and looking great!

Rickard... you have done some amazing work. That body looks great. Let me know if you ever get interested in selling them. I would pic one up for sure. I look forward to this build. I saw the build of your 66 Nova and that thing was beautiful. I am with others here saying you need to post some pics of it here. I will be following this build.

Brad...Looking good. Looks like you have gotten to work a little more on things. The Fuel gage looks great and so does the break line on the rear end. The output shaft tunnel is very nice. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Danny, I hope I do his car justice. I just wish I could have found more reference pics of the car. the ones I found off his website had some good pics but didn't show everything I was looking for detail wise. Romell... Thanks Bud!!! I am happy with how this is turning out. Hoping to get to do some work on it in the next few days to get some more pics up for everone. I think you said to get back to work cause you want see more progress on this build... Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks Derrick, It feels good to be back at this build. Thanks Richard, I am glad I can help. I look forward to seeing your 1/16th scale builds as well as your Pro Mods. I would like to pick myself up a few of Greg Fox's bodies. They look like they are a nice quality. LOL at 2025

This is such a cool build. Very Awesome work!

Romell... Awesome work my friend. Wow I go away for a few days and come back to a bunch I missed out on. The engine is looking great and the Transmission turned out awesome. Keep up the great work.

Richard... Thanks man. This is going to be the most involved and most money i have put into a build out of my collection so far lol. Brett and Brad.... The pressure is on me now if this build is going to be the bench mark for 1/16th scale funnies . I also hope this build will help others. I know I have learned alot from others on here and want to share my builds and if they can help someone out thats great.

Wayne.... This build is looking great. Details look fantastic and you did a great job with those decals.

Andy this is off to a great start man and looking sweet. This is going to be a nice build.

John... this is simply amazing. Words can't describe how great this turned out. I agree with Lanny if you are able to make it out to the Desert Scale Classic you will have to bring this. But I should be seeing it at the NNLs in Feburary since I am planning on coming up for it this next year. Looking forward to your completed pics that you will post.

Beautiful build. It looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Greg.... Cant wait to see some pics of all of your recent updates. I am sure its looking great ad usual. Cheers

Very nice... Looks great

Cruz.... This model is beautiful. You have some skills the paint is flawless and absolutly gorgeous. I love the whole look. I dobhave to ask what did you use for the center caps? I was able to pick up a couple of sets of the hub caps from Bob. I have a Merc one set will be going on. Agai. Grest work ob this. Cant wait to see your next project.

That turned out nice. It looks great! Good job on this

Wow very cool build and concept. Going to.be a nice build.

Romell.... that fuel pump turned out great. Looks Like I could just drop it in my car and let her rip...lol Great Fabrication work.

Brad Looking good.... I have to say that it looks much better with the output drive shaft. You are just like me when a little detail some what bugs ya, you need to fix it and make it right I seem to do this alot myself too. Now time to polish that output shaft .

Alright everyone, I was able to get a few hours in the past few nights and finally had time to upload some pics. I feel I made some good progress on the Front Axle, Spindle and Little more to the rear end. even though it doesn't seem like much but was glad to just about have the front axle ready for primer. I still need to lay bondo on it and sand but the fab work is just about there. Thanks for looking and here are the pics..... Here is the Front Axle with new sleeves that I put in for the spindles so that they didn't feel so sloppy, you can see the the white tubing that I added and then drilled out to fit the correct Scale Hardware Bolt that I was using: Here is the Front Axle with the Spindles: Here is have the Front Axle along with the Steering Tie Rod. I had fabricated the Spindle steering links from evergreen flat stock. The Spindles Axle lengths were cut down to fit the Micro Nitro turned Aluminum rims that will be going on them. I also decided to fabricate a new tie rod which was made out of 1/16" Tubing, cut to length and then drilled out the ends to fit the tie rod ends. I was unhappy with the last one I made due to the fact that the RB Motion Rod End links were level on the of them got turned when I was gluing them so it didn't look right to me: Mocked up the front end to get it ready to glue the Steering links to the Spindle: Right Side Spindle & Steering Link: Left Side Spindle & Steering Link: Here is the Spindles & Steering links after they have been glued: Here is the Rear end with some extra support. Took Gasser59's (Thanks Brad ) suggestion and thought it would look much better with the added support: Bottom Side support, I still need to sand it just a little before I lay some more primer on it: Top Side Support, same thing needs minor sanding: Thanks again for Looking.....

Thanks Richard!! Got more done last night

I had to go with real on this one.

Wow John... That paint is beautiful. The whole bike is awesome!! I can't say enough about your builds. You always do great work. Really enjoyed watching this build come to life. It is amazing for sure.
