Chuck Most Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Here's the 'Bench work for this one... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40167 And here's the finished result. I added a cut-down '33 Willys grille with spotlights from a '49 Merc kit for headlamps, and cut an air cleaner in half to serve as brake cooling ducts- mostly to cover up the big, ugly notches in the axle! I'm outta here- It's Miller time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yeah. I dig it. Excellent work. I'd love to see it setting up next to my Junkyard Rod. What a pair they'd make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Beautiful job on January's model, Chuck, on to February. Your homework assignment is to do one model per month and then do a calendar in December! Who says so? Doctor Cranky, that's who. Seriously, chap, you are building some killer rides!

Harry P. Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Wicked...heres your tune!! Speaking of "In a Gadda da Vida"... Here's an absolutely true story. When I was a kid I was on a local soccer team. We were supposed to be having practice one day, and all of us were there except José Gamboa. We all lived just a block away from the park, so someone said they'd run to José's house to get him (we all called him "Hosie, " BTW...). Anyway... we found out that Hosie said he'd be right out... as soon as he finished listening to "In A Gadda Da Vida"!!! (For all of you kids out there, "In a Gadda da Vida" took up one entire side of the album... 17 minutes). True story and great memory!
