Raul_Perez Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Here's a picture of the first mockup. I'm going to build it with the automatic tranny option. Here are most of the "previously chromed" parts finishing their "dip" in ammonia. Many of the body panels, bumpers and such were made from either fiberglass or aluminum to keep the weight down. I read one article where they said that the front seats were out of the Econoline van from that year because they were lighter than the stock Fairlane seats. So, I may not finish it in time for the contest, but I can at least say that I started it...

Fuel Coupe Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 heres my entry. Im hoping to finish it in the time frame allowed but its doubtful.... The plan is to pick up where I left off and build Rich Gausco's Pure hell. Big deal everyone builds it but the one I was building 10 years ago that got stolen was one of the earlier versions of the car with a small block in it....
Raul_Perez Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Why do I not see paint on there yet? Well, since it'll be white, it won't look much different until I decal and BMF it. If it counts, I did buy the paint.

MADmodelDOCTOR Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 OK,I'll be entering this build-off as an excersize in basic techniques and to see if I can actually finish a build. This is not a build on my list, just dug through and picked some stuff out. Hopefully, posting here will keep me honest and at the bench. Here's the kit....MK AWB Mustang Engine from '33 Willys Wheels and Tires Misc. chassis and interior pcs. from '33 Willys and Anglia Will have progress pics in On The Bench, tonite. Later

DrewC Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Just an update from this part of the world.... Minor glitch on the project 'Cuda Pro Stock: 4 link suspension from '55 Chevy Sportsman being modified with scratch built 4 link... using 1/16" tubing for the link bars, the hyme joints are brass pieces of something from HO scale railroad and all are being held together with 000.090 brass bolts/nuts! Right now the plan is to use the kit's plastic brackets....unless I get my order for Machined Aluminum Specialties sooner! Pics will be posted later tonight! DrewC
