Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!

[David G.]

Hello Everybody!

I just started AMT's 1929 Ford Woody/Pickup kit. The first thing I wanted to do was get the right stance and profile. So I assembled the axles and did a mockup with a number of different wheel sets. I did find a good set of wheels and tires in the parts box. They have kind of a Western Smoothie look which is much better than the Keystone Cliche' Classics or stock wood-spokes in the kit. I will of course dress them up a little.

Nice Mockups!!

The stance is pretty close to final set up.  Will know better once I get the engine built and placed.  Cuz there will be some ...tweaking.

I got those from https://wesmodelcarcorner.myshopify.com/?fbclid=IwAR20j9ysuHGsOsrIRzFUHLgx76_sH4r2BbJZifo7akxzi5ig9fAoS1NGuz4

Not sure if he still has some. I need to pick up a couple more sets. I will check my LHS tomorrow when I go for the meeting. 

 

These are the exact wheels I am using:

I have seen those before and almost ordered them because I really like their American SS wheels/tires, but never noticed the 4 lugs. Pretty cool!
