Hey guys-

 

I haven't posted up in a awhile, building has been kinda slow, trying to get my airbrush skills honed, with mixed success...anyway, as you all probably know I love to cut stuff up. This is the 'return' because I built this body many years ago, was never satisfied with the way it was coming together. An on-line friend just had to have it so I sent it to him (here's looking at you, Z-Man), I'm not sure whatever became of it. KK found one of the old Revell '34 three window bodies at the Atlanta NNL last fall and sent it to me. I cut off the greenhouse which is the start of the project. The body is the 'A' from the Ala-Kart with the rear surround from the Revell '32 sedan, for the correct corners...I'm not sure why pix don't load in order... :-(

this is the concept, some parts from the Mod Rod kit....

cutting the body apart to narrow and lengthen it a bit to fit the greenhouse...

hacking up a perfectly good '32 sedan body...

What a great start!  It takes a lot of fusion and imagination to see how to use all those little sections and pieces of different bodies to get to where you wanted to be.  I’ll be watching!

Maybe these will refresh the memories of some:

Hi!

Very nice mash-up. Creative! Do you plan to scribe a line in the side of the cowl, like on a model A, at the junction of the gas tank and side of cowl?

Usually, this very line was the extension of the hood-side top edge... That would make this very car look longer.
