Horrorshow Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 What do you do if you have 25 kits in various stages of build…start another one of course. I purchased this kit because I was needing the windshield and chrome for another build. Already started messing with the roll cage and motor but since it’s been warmer here I can get outside to sand and paint. Lots of trim to remove. I vowed to finish this one.☝️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volzfan59 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 This will be a fun one to watch. I've seen pictures of Edsel's racing in vintage late model classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it close then do a fit check with the chassis almost done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volzfan59 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 What's the difference between a '58 and a '59? Maybe it's the angle of the shots, or more than likely it's just me but I'm not seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrorshow Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 Roll cage done, most of it is PPP. Some of it is parts tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I use a lot of PPP cages from eBay... free shipping from one seller. They are made nicer now, they used to have lines in them that were tough to sand out. My only gripe is that the front legs are closer together than the back legs. I prefer a square cage, it gives more room for the seat. The last ones I have done, I offsetted the cages to the left a little. I have seen this often enough on 1:1 stock cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
