Vincent631 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) First build of '19 is complete! This was a fun build, it's for my dad who loves to drink Coke!! I chose to hold the roof on with a piece of tape until I decide how I'm going to glue it down permanently. It gives you a good view of the interior. I also regret using the exhaust support. It's not on the real life hot rod. I guess it's there to hold up the headers for kids who would build this model in the 70s. I didn't know and glued it in place before I realized. What do you think of my first build of 2019? Edited March 14, 2019 by Vincent631
vamach1 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Pretty cool indeed. Perhaps some doll house bottles or cans in the interior would add to the theme. Is anything in the cooler?
bbowser Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I'm not normally into such things, but this is cool! Very nicely done.
tmb727 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Very nice work. I don't think it would be just kids who would have problems getting those long, heavy (in scale, at least) headers to stay in place without the aid of that support piece. And it looks just fine to me - I never would have guessed that was an issue if you had not mentioned it. Great looking show rod!
Mr mopar Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Look good.............. I never like the tires in that kit !
CRANMAN1 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Nice remember seeing that car at Autofair @ Charlotte Motorspeedway. Have the model hope build it soon.
Pat Minarick Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Very nice. I have this kit , it looked like a good kit . Hope to get around to building it someday.
Vincent631 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Thanks everyone for the comments on my model.
Scott Colmer Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I think you did a great job! How did you get the brass parts done?
