3100 chevy Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Started this a few weeks ago. The plan Body: Amt 32 ford body Frame: Revell 32 ford with 29 rear spring arch and 34 cross member Running gear: Amt double t rear end, springs and shocks Up front will be a non dropped model a I-beam with early backing plates and Buick brake drums Engine: Amt double t y block with "corrected" headers Bleach took off the aging chrome in under a minute! In the bleach there was also a resin sunken licence plate holder that I cast from resin. Like this un only the centre part though That will be made to fit here That's all for now and here's my inspiration this amazing build by ace garage guy http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59708
3100 chevy Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Better pic of the interior It isn't the amt 32 interior but it fits well , only problem is that it has lots of glue on it Forgot to say that the 32 is a glue bomb in the next few days I hope to get the ride night done. Sorry for the crappy photos Edited June 27, 2015 by 3100 chevy
Spex84 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Looks like a great start! Nice catch with the corrected headers. I'm building a model with the same engine right now...ended up modifying the kit heads to accept Ford y-block headers, which are similar in shape and have the same spacing as the Lincoln Y-block. The other thing you might want to correct is the distributor location--MEL 430 has it in the front, but Lincoln Y block is angled about 45 degrees and mounted in the back.

Thanks for the info I didn't notice the distributor problem
3100 chevy Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 May need to git a resin dropped axle but that can wait.
my80malibu Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Good start, Bill has some Amazing projects on his bench it would be nice to see more of them done. I bet he says the same thing though.

3100 chevy Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 New ride height with dropped I beam. The bottom pic is upside down so it can be closer to ground level.

3100 chevy Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 It's a rear roll pan carved from ceder and sealed with white glue. After that I covered it with bondo to smooth it out. It will be cut shorter? Maybe.... Also removed door handles and hinges. What is this?.... Think it'll go.
3100 chevy Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 Changed my mind about the interior and will be using the interior from revells 32 ford 5 window
3100 chevy Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Another project awaiting paint The interior was cut down and widened the seat still needs to be shrunk? Since my budget wouldn't allow a resin fire wall I made a recessed Edited July 6, 2015 by 3100 chevy
