Then it’ll get a scoop on it. One that’s aerodynamic and tight to the hood.. Air cleaner assy. May come off and get something else.. A cross between these This is the look I’m going for on the final build!! The first photo is of Rob Gibby and his teams roadster. Ive known him for years and its a very fast, cool piece. The Coupe was built for George Poteet by Rolling Bones. It was being built while I worked there. I have quite a few hours of fab time on it Model looks cool!!!! I have a few of those bodies

We use to get a steady stream of people stopping by (i assume they still do) so we decided to start chopping it late one night so we wouldnt get disturbed. Everyone stopped the next day and jaws hit the floor when it was mocked up haha
Codi Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Great insights / story from Chris and I love the job Kerry is doing on the model. Fun thread for sure. cheers

I need to get back to it again. Had my CaddiMad wagon yell at me about three weeks ago and have been tinkering with that... Need to get some primer on SaltLick and start getting ready for paint....
carmad1957 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Being a Bonnie fan as well, I thing you pulled this off nicely. Love that just-run look! Kudos
DrKerry Posted June 9, 2020 Author Posted June 9, 2020 Got a few more things done on the SaltLick.. Front tires are on for good now. Had to drop the fuel tank down as the hood was hitting it and sitting to high. Hopefully get some primer on it soon!! radiator is mounted too..

Hoping to get the body in primer so I can get closer to adding color to it.. Not sure when that’ll happen!!

Not a lot of time or energy for modeling at that pace.

Hour and a half one way...
Tom Geiger Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 I did the hour and a half run to work for five years! Even when you work 8 hours it’s like you did overtime each and every day!
