Can you post a pic of the instructions that involves the suspension? You may be able to just flip the front spindles and block up the rear......

Got the basis of the chassis done.... The piece across the frame was cut from the fender piece and glued in place to positively locate the cab and bed.

Anyone into Progressive Rock? I just started listening to an album called "Voyage of the Acolyte" by Steve Hackett.... I guess he was in Genesis? The first song on the album is the best one, it's called Ace of Wands.........

Thanks, fellas.... I have a can of a dark leather brown color that I plan to use on this. Quick question, could the dropped axle from the '50 Ford pickup have been used on the front? It's a heavy I-beam piece...... If so, I have the axle that I may need.

Just a quick mock-up of my current project. I've pretty much got the frame ready to paint, which was a lot of work in itself. There was some sink marks all the way down both outside frame rails, which would have been very noticeable with me building this without the fenders...... Also, the bed has been shortened some. Still need to finish with that. I'll probably end up using another set of wheels and tires, not sure yet.... I would really like to find some from the '32 Chrysler. Thanks for looking, and all comments are welcome.......

Thanks a bunch, Guys, for the responses..... This started out as a "back to basics" build, but one change leads to another.

I've gotten the Lindberg '34 Ford truck on the bench.... Just had a few questions about it. First, I would like to build it without it's fenders. The way the model goes together, the cab floor rests on the fender piece, then that goes onto the frame. Would it be okay for the floor of the cab to rest directly on the frame? I'm wanting to do something like this.... Next question.... what is the optional V8 in this kit? It looks like a Ford FE engine? and is it really to scale? It just seems a tiny engine.... also, what's a good source for a drop front axle? doesn't have to be chrome.... Thanks

You got the artist right, but you're way off on the song title........ (that's a joke) song's called Love Story

I've built since I was a kid off and on, but my skills didn't start to really improve until I joined the forum.... From the Monte Carlo to the '48 Ford was about 16-18 finished builds with another 8 or so started but not completed.......

This one is "The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails....

This is good stuff, guys........ Rob, there's a way around photobucket's fingerprint on your pics. Just download the pic to your computer from the bucket (it will go into downloads)... then just name it something else and save it as a pic. Then you can attach it directly to the forum...... that's what I had to do with the Monte Carlo pic......

I thought it would be cool if we could show how each of us have grown as builders.... This Monte Carlo was built right after I joined the forum in 2012. I thought I had really done something making the headlight covers! This '48 Ford was built in 2017.... Please feel free to show how you have progressed as a builder...... Thanks!

You're keeping in step, in the line, got your chin held high and you feel just fine, 'cause you do as you're told, but inside your heart is black, and it's hollow, and it's cold.........

Here's a pic of how DupliColor's black sandable primer looks right from the can......

If this goes against any rules, just delete please... I ran across this ad on Craigslist this morning. Looks like a pretty good deal. https://raleigh.craigslist.org/tag/d/wendell-1-24-plastic-model-car-kits/6988882871.html I would only be interested in one item there, but I believe they're trying to sell as a lot.

..... and I like every year '57 Chevy.......

That color wouldn't look bad at all with the red tail stripe, and maybe some redline tires....... I wouldn't put a red interior in it, though. That might be a bit much......

The color you've painted this one looks more silver-gray maybe? Red stripe and interior would compliment it well..... This car is both silver and gray and the red is a good accent for it.

For me, it's the Thunderbird! I also like every year Impala and Monte Carlo. The T-Birds have always floated my boat, tho. My Favorite Birds are the aerocoupes of '83-'88. Something along these lines would suit me perfect..... Pre face-lift and Post face-lift

The Dirty Donny version is molded in orange, if that makes a difference to you....

This is looking really good...... What time period were you basing the build on? I ask because there was a time when the elongated Cadillac taillights were popular, and I think they would look good here.....

That's a darn good build......

I don't know how to post a link, but The Cardigans did a cover of "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. Kind of Surreal with the lyrics being sung in her soft voice.... Fu Manchu has covered BOC's "Godzilla" too, it's pretty good. I have a playlist on Napster that's nothing but covers...
