jhuntsman Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Heres a few pics of the Lindberg/model king belvedere ive been working on for a bit now. Just lowering the suspension, using pegasus wheels and adding scratchbuilt details where i can. So far ive turned some rotors and a set of mufflers for it and i made the interior door handles and window cranks. thanks for looking! Edited March 1, 2016 by jhuntsman
jhuntsman Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Got a few things done on the car the last couple days. Made rear brake lines as well as the fuel line from the tank. Also go the heads drilled for plug wires and headers and got the headers mocked up. thanks for looking!
426-Hemi Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Jeff, thats AWESOME work! Question, the headers on the engine, they come with the kit? (I got the '64 Dodge Polara "330") -Been trying to locate 6 cylinder headers, of on the slant 6 I have..... NOT an easy task I can say..... GREAT work on the fuel & brake lines!!!!!
jhuntsman Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 hemi, the headers didnt come with the kit. it just had the stock manifolds. i made the headers out of .063 solder and a piece of alum tubing just big enough to fit over the ends of the primary tubes. didnt have anything to go by so they are a little rough. ill probably remake them to look a little better. thanks for the complements!
426-Hemi Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 .063 Solder, theres one I have yet to find locally! A LOT of the heavy stuff 1/8th and larger and then the small stuff I have found is something like .032.... I'll have to look an see what I may have as "just sections" as I recall seeing something I got from a junk pile of stuff I bought for the drill bits that had some solder in it.... HMMM Those you made tho look GREAT!
jhuntsman Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 Got some paint on the wheels and the chassis is almost wrapped up. The wheels are painted with duplicolor black then cleared and alclad applied. Just need to glue in the rearend as well as the brake lines and fuel line and shocks. thanks for looking!
jhuntsman Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 working on the wheels yesterday and came up with this.
jhuntsman Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) got some more work done last night. got my instrument cluster fabbed up, turned some engine pulleys on the lathe and mounted them, started smoothing out the front bumper and added a chin spoiler and got the lips of the wheels painted. thanks for looking!

lghtngyello03 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Going to be an awesome build looks like. What did you use for the brake lines, and how did you mount them if I may ask?
jhuntsman Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 scott, the brake and fuel lines are 26 gauge wire. as far as mounting the brake line, i glued a block with three holes on top of the rear end that the lines goes into and then there is 2 more lines going out to the wheels. they fit tight to the floor pan so they arent really attached to anything but the front and back of the lines. thanks for the comments guys!
jhuntsman Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Got a little work done this weekend. I dont have a lot of time to do much during the week so i have to get it when i can on the weekends. anyway, i got the dash sprayed ready for details, calipers painted and engine pretty well buttoned up as well as the instrument panel. Checked the fit of the engine with the cover on and it fits great, hood closes so everythings a go. thanks for looking. Edited January 11, 2016 by jhuntsman
jhuntsman Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 got the engine finished up as well as the chassis. working on the interior now. will post pics when i get some progress. thanks for looking!

jhuntsman Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Started cutting on the interior and came up with this. Cut out the tunnel and built the console, rear seat will be omitted and simple cage installed. little putty work and this will be ready for primer. thanks for looking!
jhuntsman Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 figuring out the exhaust. first attempt at making some harnesses, not too bad but will go back and redo the buckles. redid the door panels, covered the center section with medical tape and sprayed it. thanks for looking!
