  1. Had a little time to kick this thing around since tha' first post. Thanks for tha' comments and suggestions. Means alot! Anyway, went thru several wheel/tire combo's, from what I had in mind, to suggestions from you guys. After a good dose of coffee, cigs, and "Blue Oyster Cult", I somehow kept commin' back to tha' one shown.Still gotta dull tha' tires some more. After that, it started to take on an "attitude". Went thru some steering wheels. (Thought a "Cal Custom 3 spoke Blue glitter" would look period good... Ugghh... Seat aint final, but close. Did have some duct tape repairs, but was a little much. Southerners may drive "death traps" but we like ta' sit in comfort Tacked in the "custom made" plywood dash. Dropped on the steering rod and "Ford Tractor" headlights. Gramps never plows at night anyway. Needs final touch's...fuel lines, fan (the original had a little fan/hose problem, coil wire, generator wires, etc... Critique welcome...
  2. Ran out of foil. Started ah' "parts bin one-nighter". Turned inta' more. Body/frame from tha' same kit. Engine painted years ago...just dulled over tha' dust! Interior is lookin' OK with "air conditioner duct sheet metal floorin'. Jim Beam gave me ideas...but none for tire/wheel combo. I'm thinkin' "aggressive"...no whitey/skinny/steelies...maybe "Ansen/Fenton" oxydized slots/wides ontha' rear. Meybe...whites/black rims onna' front? I dunno... Gimme examples?
  3. Gettin' burnt out on some other projects. Tossed this "curbside" together for a little "fun". Spray bombed Testors. WalMart flat black frame/roof insert. Not much chassis detail. No engine. Injectors and bug catcher glued to underside of the hood. Revell '32 Ford fronts/parts bin skinnys. Lindberg '34 Pickup rears/ Jeff Gordon slicks. Everything glued shut. Another "3 footer" for the shelf. 'Bout 3 hours worth. Ain't modelin' fun!
