tyrone Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Thanks fellas, very much appreciated...I added some more bars to the cage, so the chassis is pretty much done, I also added some styrene pieces both sides at the front of the firewall to close the gap there and to also give me something to mount my my doors,I also started putting the engine together, more updates soon, thanks for looking and comments welcome...

comp1839 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 i just look and drool. tyrone, i think i'll have to stop looking now!
tyrone Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks Dave I really appreciate it, well I've got the doors hinged up..I also went ahead and got the steering shaft housing in, tomorrow I'll try and get the inner door skins done and I'm also leaning towards a cowl hood no to tall, and sit the hood scoop on top of that, thanks for looking and comments welcome...
Dragracer Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 The cars coming out nice Tyrone,the engine is looking good, think the low cowl hood with the scoop would work real nice!
1320wayne Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 This one is really looking sharp. I especially like the pictures with everything in the background. Gives your workbench the feel of being in a race shop setting with tow vehicle and other cars under construction.

tyrone Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 Thanks fellas, I appreciate the comments on the background also, I have always liked to do that, just wished I had a bigger work area, Well I got the inner door skins done and I also made a cowl hood from styrene, thanks for looking and comments welcome....
tyrone Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Thanks fellas I got some paint and clear coat on the chassis and while I gave that a couple of days to dry I made up some new struts and springs out of the ones that came with kit, and starting painting the engine more updates soon...
tyrone Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 here's a few with the hood and scoop on I put the primer on to see what needs to be fixed..thanks for looking and comments welcome.
Dragracer Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Tyrone, was just woderin' after looking at the pics, are you gonna do any work on the scoop or roof of the car?, They sure don't match up.
Mooneyzs Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Thanks Chris, this is the trumpeter kit... Tyrone.... Thanks again for letting me know what kit it was. I really need to pick up one of these kits to have in my collection. never knew they did make the hard top version. I always knew they had the convertible. This '63 is turning out nice and looking great!
tyrone Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the comments fellas, Richard I think your talking about the back of the hood scoop, once I mock the windshield up in the car I'll trim the back of it down, so that it fits nice and snug against the windshield, this is just a few mock up pics to show you guys where I am so far. Thanks for looking in. Edited July 29, 2011 by tyrone

BigEdsGarage Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I love the way this one is turning out. The body and chassis really work well together and the overall stance and presentation is awesome. What's the plan for exterior paint?
hOLMS Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Knockin this one out of the park, ehh! Great job, most awesome. Anxious to see how you blend to hood scoop, should look great.
