afx Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Here are the winning wheels. The front is a replica of American Racing Lemans wheel that I modified and R&M cast for me. This photo shows the wheel detail better. The wheel on the left. Edited January 21, 2018 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very impressed. Seeing it made me work some more on the '62. It's all cleaned up now and ready for primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thank you for the comments gentlemen. Very impressed with AMT's FE engine from the '60 Ford. Rivals the detail of Fujimi's EM kits IMHO. Collectors are made from heat shrink tubing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeves Racing Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I haven't been on the site in ages. Nice to see you still at it on this one JC. What texturing method did you use on the cinder blocks? I have a pair of those and want to paint them up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Great work on this so far! That motor is a work of art by itself. I also am glad to see the final wheel choice, I like them much more than the spindle mounts you had on it early on. The current wheels fit the gasser look much better! Can't wait to see this one finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low air pressure might give the same effect but I don't have a regulator on my compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
