‘39 Whiskey Wagon

[FLHCAHZ]

Hello All, it’s been over a year since I have had a chance to get too the bench.  I wanted to just build something without driving myself crazy over the details.  I picked this kit up at the LHS and started building. My skills are rusty!  This will be out of the box, although I may try to flock the floor. I’ve never tried it. Why not

Great start to this one! I really like the blue.

[FLHCAHZ]

Thanks!

Nice kit.  Looking good so far.

Nice shade of blue!

[FLHCAHZ]

The pearl white was painted on the top and the clear was applied. Just a quick mock up

The blue and white looks good.

I agree, the color combo looks great on it!?

Great looking paint finish and the chassis is well done. 

[FLHCAHZ]

Thanks for all the kind words. Hopefully another update tomorrow

Oh my, that is one sweet sedan delivery. Excellent choice of paints.

[FLHCAHZ]

My first attempt at flocking, didn’t come out great.  I’ll keep going. You really won’t be able to see it when the body is on anyway

Also detailed the grill a bit 

[slusher]

Your color choices are very sharp!  Everything is looking great!

[FLHCAHZ]

Thanks Carl!

Just a quick mock up

Update time:

try as I might, I could not get the back door hinges to work, so I glued it is place.

I also didn’t like the look of the hood with the sides, covering the engine. I took a deep breath and scribed along the body line and cut the sides off, so you can see the engine wither the hood on. I’ve always liked this look on a street rod

Wonderful work"

That color combination is gorgeous! I picked up one of the older issues of this kit, at a recent show. You have definitely inspired me to get to work on it!

[Matt87]

This looks sweet!

[Zippi]

It looks nice with the hood modification.  Lets that engine breathe a little better.    

[bluestringer]

Looking good Chaz.  Great color combo. I like the hood top on with the sides off.

Thanks everyone!  I’m down to the little fiddle bits, which test my patience and my eyesight!  I mounted the bumpers, headlights  and gas cap (I should have pinned the gas cap).  This is first non 60’s musclecar I’ve built in a long time. It has been a challenge, especially because I have been away from building so far. I think all I have to do is finish the license plate \ tail light assembly and mount it.

 

thanks again for the kind words and inspiration!  More pics tomorrow

I’ve moved this on to “Under Glass”

 

thanks for following along!
