1320paul Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi guys, I'm a new guy from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and I just got back into modeling after about 13 years or so. I hope this is the right place to post my first post but I couldn't find an intro forum anywhere. I really like nostalgic drag racing stuff so I think I'm going to concentrate on those. My first work in progress after a long hiatus is a 36 Ford with a Boss 429 shoehorned into it. The frame has been filed, cut, Dremeled, you name it, just to get the big pig to fit in there. The drivetrain is from the Monogram Boss 429 kit and the intake, carbs, and fuel pump are from the old original MPC Blue Max MustanfgFunnycar. I'm making headers out of solder, the driveshaft has been shortened, roof cut out, brass rod rear axle, shaved to fit manifold, hollowed barrels on the carbs, and I recently added some leaf springs to the rear suspension. I had to hack out part of the ugly molded in exhaust (man I hate when they do that). I'll try to get some pics up if I can figure that part out. Alright, enough rambling!!
