34 chopped rod

thanks guys, however i have had to strip the paint off due to the body hitting the floor (top half of Tamiya paint stand fell off) and damaged the paint. i'm also still recovering from attending Sonisphere (rock and metal music festival) here in the UK. so its back to primer and start again............oh the joys of model making. :-)

the body has now receiving it's re-paint, and located the tail lights and door mirror. i have also gone back to doing the ghost flames. the sparkle pearl purple is the next colour to be shot followed by candy yellow then the clear. the tail lights are from revell's 59 chevy with the rings cut from ally tubing. i have made progress on the chassis and interior with turned brake discs, drums and steering column. the torque thrust centers have been painted black.

at last, it's on it's wheels. i have drilled a hole in each rim for the valves but don't know whether to buy a set or attempt to turn them.

i now have the exhausts done. they were scratch from plastruct rod and from an idea on a 1:1 34 ford that was featured in a 1994 copy of "American Rodder" both were painted in "Alclad" and heat blooms from clear Tamiya were applied using cotton buds. the body is now in candy yellow, with pinstripes from revell's 49 Merc. i did attempt to turn my own tyre valves, one came out fine but lost it in the wharf of aluminium.
