Some mockups from the Bullybeef bench!

[Bullybeef]

Had some ideas knocking around in my brain bucket ( probably from one or two many pan galactic gargle blasters)! So I cracked open some boxes and started hacking away at some plastic.

These are future builds as I was getting a little frustrated with some current builds and needed to step back from them. The first one is a 32 Ford five window coupe on a nicely Z’ed frame and the second is the current 30 Ford coupe. Both are sitting on full frames with suspension not just bricks and loose wheels.

Thoughts, concerns, criticisms, keep them all to yourselves ( nah I’m just kidding) Comment away! 
 a small but significant shoutout to Bill for his well detailed how to on addin a Z to a frame! 

Thanks for lookin

I like the stance on the ‘30, it looks wicked ?

I'm a sucker for a chopped A coupe, Bil. Are we headed to the lake with this one or just tooling around town? ?

Could be both lol

Starting to stack up for a winters work I think.

All the 32’s I’ll be working on soon. 3w coupe, 5w coupe, pickup truck. I’ll be continuing on with the frames and a 30 coupe will be an addition. I’ll be starting some build threads as I progress with some of these.

The wheelbase on the pickup seems a tad short. Is it me?

On the 32 it looked like that, the 34 extended the wheelbase. The 32 was built on the same wheelbase and chassis as the cars

I could see myself getting completely lost and confused with all that, Bil, but it's a mock-upper's wet dream. I have a similar mess of A, T and '32 junk. One day.....one day....

I have them all in project boxes, that way I do t get confused lol, my current work area is a lot smaller than I used to have to I have to employ the minimalists ways.

No sir, he needs to discover that on his own lol.  They wouldn’t  believe me anyways. ??

[customline]

Oh. Ah ha. What happens on George Street stays on George Street. Am I right?

Sort of, it has the highest number of bars per capita on one street, well at least it did back in its heyday. Many a story starts with “that night on George street”

Yea, what? close to 30 bars and pubs in a 2 block stretch? ,,, No one'd believe that ,, except another Maritimer. ??

[customline]

Sound like the bars are stacked on top of one another....?...OK, that's possible ?

Dug a couple of unfinished builds from the crypt and decided it was time to put some finishing touches on one of them. Back a while ago I decided I had amassed enough parts to try to build the 15 32 ford body styles, the green sedan delivery will make 13 of the 15 finished if I can get it across the finish line.

The 5 window body has been a primer mock-up for quite some time and I have it here on the backdated original frame I’ve been working on recently, de chromed the wheels from the Revell T bucket version of the Tweedy Pie kit. I think they will look good in a raw magnesium finish.

I certainly hope not Robert! I have these to finish, plus I just purchased another 5 to add to the stash. 
Then I can always open the box of vintage dragster kits if I ever get bored of hot rods hahaha.

Lots of cool projects here. My kind of stuff. Especially the Model A on the second picture.

I’m now trying to decide which one to move forward with might have to do a lottery, assign each one a number and pick a number from a hat lol. This may have to happen before I just open a box and start something completely different.
