vizio93 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) It's been a little while since i posted some progress on this so here it is. -i painted the valve covers red and silver on the new 502 -i bought some new wheels and tires for it -i went to the LHS and got a new distributor (not shown yet because it's still drying) PICTURES: Please Comment !!!

Fletch Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I like what I see, it has real potential. I take it that the lines on the posts are for your planned chop? The 502 is a massive motor in 1:1 that would scream. While I'm not a fan of wide low profile tires they do add a different flavor to the build. There is a car club here in the northwest called Unique Tin. They sponsor a car show the 3rd weekend of August every year. Their motto "Unique is what we seek, Bizarre is what we are!" Your '32 Sedan would fit right in. Keep Building, Don't stop now!

I was thinkin' of choppin' it, but i think that it looks perty good how it is so i probably won't. the grill will be a little more closer to 90 degree's (prob. 80ish ). i got the front axle on it now and it has a perty stance. i just need to figure out how i'm gonna do the interior door pannels 'cause since i tucked the frame under the body, i'll most likey have to trim them up at least 3"-4" scale inches. yea that 502 otta' put a wet spot on the drivers seat :lol: Thanks and i can't stop now!!! i've already caught the disease !!!
CB Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Can't be waitin' to see mo' pics Viz You says it has a perty stance with the front axe on-- well, you mustas gots the back axel on too! Normally, I'd say go fer the chop, but you seem to got the 'look' just right so far-- and with that stock top-- it looks 'classic' or maybe better put: "Class-sic"
VW Dave Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I'm not sure that 'rat rod' is a good description of that car, with big-ticket items like the 502 and F&F wheels, but I do like the the stance and stretch. *I couldn't make out the rears, but the directional front tires are pointed in the wrong direction

Da back has been on since my udda post. and oh yea it's gonna be SICK. :lol: Edited July 31, 2009 by vizio93

RodneyBad Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Looks Veery Cool. I love the Motor in it.. Wheels and tires look good on it too.
vizio93 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) alright i was gonna paint it today but it came up a storm out side so maybe tomarrow . in the meantime i wired the distributer and went to the LHS and got some orange paint. Heres the Engine: As for the wheels i was thinkin' it would look good if i could paint them flat black with an orange lip. Kind of like Linetex's yellow F430 (http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21892 ). here's a birds eye view: Tell Me What You Think!!! Edited July 31, 2009 by vizio93
CB Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 engine looks real good Viz. yep, I think them wheels would look much better black & orange like yer talkin' get 'em painted, get 'em on, & let us see OK? Pretty please? no pressure, just diggin' this bigtime

vizio93 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 sorry i'm ganna have to paint it tomarrow i just checked my flat black and it's almost empty. (guess i shoulda checked before i went out and bought the orange. )
TOM MURPHY Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 It's been a little while since i posted some progress on this so here it is. -i painted the valve covers red and silver on the new 502 -i bought some new wheels and tires for it -i went to the LHS and got a new distributor (not shown yet because it's still drying) PICTURES: Please Comment !!! CAN YOU POST A SIDE PICTURE WITH THE WHEELS ON SO I CAN DRAW IT TOM
vizio93 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 CAN YOU POST A SIDE PICTURE WITH THE WHEELS ON SO I CAN DRAW IT TOM do you want it with or with out the paint, cause i was gonna paint it today? i guess i could get a quick mock up without the paint if you want it.
vizio93 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 FINALLY. i got it painted. it came out flawlessly. here's a couple pics: Body: Wheels: (decided it looks perty good with the chrome lip) Velocity stacks: slowly but surely it's comin' together tell me what you think.
CB Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 You sure do make us wait Viz! Nice to see some progresso tho. Yep, methinks you scored a direct hit on them wheels . They gonna look awesome when they're actually on the car-- with the perty stance ....... And I really can't wait to see these bad boys on top of them 4barrils!!!
pstreet Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Looking great buddy! The wheels and body came out real nice. Are you going to leave the roof insert black or will it end up a different color? Seeing this gives me some motivation to finish mine up. Cant wait to see the final product.

Cant wait to see the final product. i think i will keep it black, why what color were u thinkin'?
vizio93 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 OHH NOOO!!!! I was puttin' it together and I had a little dab of glue on my finger, but didn't know about it and i grabbed the body. i kept trying to put it on the chassis and i didn't kno i was just rubbin' in. the paint rubbed off and there are traces of my fingerprints on it. i guess i'll have to paint it tommaro AGAIN.

Ah man, that stinks! what kind of glue was it? The insert is totally up to you man. On a 1:1 car the insert is usually either made from a fabric of choice or is welded shut with sheet metal for a hard top finish. Some guys even leave the insert missing for a permanent sunroof of sorts (with or without the structural wood). I think your 32' would looks great black on black but i think it might need a few rubs with a greasy finger to differentiate between the paint on the body and the fabric material of the insert, IMO.

Pat Cardz Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 That's one wild looking 32! The engine looks great and I like what you did with the rims. Keep up the progress.

vizio93 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 alright as i promised here are some pics of it mocked up. all i have to do is adjust the front ride height, find some brakes, and do a little more gluin' and she'll be all together. feel free to comment and criticize
CB Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 OK Billy! Me like! Really love that rear view with them big tall stock windows (probably really slow it down if'n you put the glass in ) You talkin' about adjusting the front ride height-- don't look like you can go much lower unless you grind some of the body off ? Lookin' pretty good to me-- and I just love lookin' at them big windows ! Didn't notice it before on your earlier engine pic, but Dude! them plug wires don't end there at the valve cover!-- It don't look all that bad the way they are, but, if'n you go Google-in' fer some pics of a real live engine you'll probly see 'zactly where they should end up. I aint no xpert by no means on any engine ('cepting MR SKWIRLS 4banger ), but I'd be willing ta bet them plug wires should go below the valve cover and/or in betweens the header pipes, where they mount to the head. Still a great lookin rod what I'd be real proud to test drive fer ya oh yeah! what's that cool lookin' thing in the background of this here pic: looks kinda like a 51 Bel Air with a really cool BIG scoop on it? Can we see more of dat? Pretty please??
