fordsixty Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 i am calling this one done and ready for the road course. all in all, i really think this one nailed the "take no prisoners" look without losing that classic touch. this one would be nice to see, running around Road America, mixing it up with other hot rodded classics. even foreign classics. hope you guys enjoy these pictures. photos are great, are they not? you can see i need a little touch up. the name above the door is (was) my dad's name. he passed last June. nice curves! no, that is not a pull ring to make it talk. 440 cubic inches of injected "big block" chevy V6. yee-haw. going for the glamour shot? well, now it is on to the '31 A. wow, i am going to get a least two done this year. peace.

Bernard Kron Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 going for the glamour shot? "...going for the glamour shot?" - Heck yes!!!! And you just know if they ever put a class of these things together road racing would make a massive comeback! Am I right or am I right? Is the '31 the too kool orange sedan you were working on in '08? PS The rear wing is insane! B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E St. Kruiser50 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 THIS IS PRETTY INSANE When I logged on, I wasn't ready for what I see here . To me everything about this build is wild and flow's perfectly. This is the kinda stuff I'd never think of, but just blow's me away . Very creative imagination, talent, and skills rule here. Can't wait to see what's next - dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordsixty Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 hey dave, thanks. i do believe that i owe you. i think it was on one of your threads, that you mentioned using, i believe you called it Live Wire, small rubber strips for molding around the windows. i went to Dick's and found another brand in their fishing section. two bucks for two sheets. i used it on this build, for the first time, because the fitment of the windshield was so bad. all i can say is GREAT TIP. it works very easy. fit great using white glue. also, Tamiya german gray is the same color. that is why i really like this site. tons of wonderful and inexpensive tips.

Nick F40 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 well, now it is on to the '31 A. wow, i am going to get a least two done this year. peace. YES!!!!!!!! This is jsut too cool, I can't wait to show my 49 Merc. I need to build a GTP Group C car for more ideas so I'm building the Sauber C9. I would LOVE to see this at Road America or wherever, this is just sick, they need to have racecars like this, I would race one. I know your surprised i'm not the first or second to comment.

Randy Kern Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Dale, I think my son (NickF40) would love it no matter what color it is! That is one wild racer. I like the concept and engineering you put into these builds, not to mention the outstanding detailing. If you could get this over to the NNL East, we could get a close-up look at it! Very cool.

Helipilot16 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I agree with all the above. This is one of my favorite genre. I'll be getting back to road race cars after NNL West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
