bluestringer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Next on the bench. I'll be building the OOB custom, I will not be using the Coke decals. Nothing special, so not much to see. Just thought I would put it up. Comments always welcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the custom engine and wheels, not sure what else if anything. Suspension has choice of stock height or lowered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Got the engine ready, primer on the body, got some more work to do on it. And got the chassis painted in Tamiya Black. Going to try some Vallejo Model Color in Gunmetal Blue on the body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyB Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 David Coming along nice. That is the engine right out of the box I'm assuming. Looks really good. I only have the flathead 6 in my parts lot. I need to go to the junkyard and find a decent engine. Len 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customline Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I'm curious about the custom engine. It seems kinda small. Does anyone know what it's supposed to be? Small block MoPar? Niiiiiiiiiiice paint, James! Beautiful blue. Can't wait to see it in foil 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 I didn't like the big chrome headlight bezels, so I gave it a kinda custom look pushing the lens into the opening and putting some foil behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
