RodBurNeR Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Well it's been awhile since i have posted anything and i have been working on a '32 Goodguys edition Roadster. This car is as stupid and crazy as i get. I don't build every model like this so please don't treat me like a detail freak lol In fact , i plan to build a lot of vintage box art models when i get this done! This is just a mockup, the ride height will be lower in front and maybe about the same in the rear? This is a teaser pic i guess, i will update more soon. I will also list all the parts and such used etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodBurNeR Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 here is the front end getting built. the drop axle was machined by Bob Dudek and the batwings or hairpins as some call them were built by Bob Dudek as well. there are some mods being done to the chassis from the kit and suspension parts to make this all work. like i said i will make a list of parts etc when it's done. enjoy!

Steve H. Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Very nice detail, the engine looks very good! I expect this project to be a real beauty when finished! Just an observation... With all of the natural finishes on the engine, the kit chrome headers look somewhat un-natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsoder Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Pretty impressive!! don't ask me how..but I've seen guys do headers like that using clears to achieve the heated look or "bluing"? whatever I think it's looking great ....B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodBurNeR Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 thanks guys! well to be honest i like the chrome headers hehe! to address the other item about the heated bluing of chrome, i was going to do that, but i need to get the stuff which is sold in little bottles. i can't think of the name at the moment.

Paul Payne Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 When I do heat discoloration on exhaust manifolds and piping, I use the clarified liquid at the top of the paint bottle. I use Testor's bottle paint, and use blue, yellow, and ruby red for the heat stains. Tip- clear coat the headers first and then apply coloring- otherwise if the headers were painted with chrome or similar paint, it will reliquify and get ugly. I think your project is great and can't wait for more pix. Also can't wait for your list of the parts sources- that front axle is really nice, also the engine pulleys and belt.

RodBurNeR Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 i got some paint and clear on the body, but the weather has not been warmest so i can get everything that needs to be the same color done. as soon as i get all the stuff in the color i will polish it out and pack it up. i am moving soon so i have to put it on hold for a bit. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
