Lowlife ! ! Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 Managed to get this one done ! Added the last few bits n bobs, and the lettering was done by hand with gold flake ! Glad to get this finished, looks a bit strange parked up with my lowriders, kinda sticks out a bit ! Hope you like the pics......
Old Nasty Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Very well done. Love the motor. That front suspension looks a little scary though. Is that a loose spring I see on top of the axle? Edited February 22, 2016 by Old Nasty
Lowlife ! ! Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks guys, I don't see what you mean about loose ? The spring is connected to the cross member that holds the engine, same as it would be on a hot rod ???

The spring is connected to the cross member that holds the engine, same as it would be on a hot rod ???I'm talking about below the large spring. It looks like a smaller spring attached to the axle. It could also use some shocks. Just sayin. Edited February 22, 2016 by Old Nasty
Lowlife ! ! Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Ah yes i see what you mean now ! Thanks I appreciate the info, have to dig out some shocks, yes it does need some !! I'm used to lowered suspensions, I can do them ! Just always fancied building a gasser, its probably not accurate but its got the look I was after !! Edited February 22, 2016 by Lowlife ! !
Modlbldr Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Looks nice. I'm curious though. What are the tires and wheels from in the first picture? The set that you didn't go with?Later-
Lowlife ! ! Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks Rich, and Tom the first set of wheels are out the spares box !! im been wanting to use them for a while, think they may have come off a pick up kit ??? Sorry can't say for sure......
Modlbldr Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks. Now that you mention it I think I recognize them from the 40 Ford pickup kit.Great work on your build. Has a nice look.Later-
