Sixx Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I think I'm gonna try a wip. I'm doing a 32 ford, either a 3 window or the sedan. The sedan will be a delivery. I've got a big ol Hemi going in it!! Here is some mock-up pics of what's going in/on it. Let me know what ya think! Thanks Sixx
Sixx Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 The block is from the kit, intake & heads/valve covers are from the AMT 70 super bee-pro street. Pro-Tech Demon carbs, unknown aluminum air cleaners with photo-etched screens. Also using pegasus wheels. Here is some more stuff. Thanks for looking. Sixx
Sixx Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 I forgot, there is a distributor from scale repos plus, & photo-etched brackets, linkages for throttle. No thoughts on color yet. This will be a SLOW build. Life keeps gettin in the way of fun!! LOL!!!
Sixx Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 I'm gonna fill this area in on the sides I'll scribe a door line back here I'm leaning towards the sedan/delivery, I just dig it. comments most welcomed. Thanks, Sixx
John Teresi Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Derrick.....this is gonna be cool.....great start.
John Pol Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Nice projects love the wheels and rims they look just right for a street rod. How do you plan to scribe the door lines. The reason I asked I`m converting a two door wagon into a four door different for a drag car. John Pol
Dr. Cranky Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Man, you are going all out on this one. It's looking great. Keep it going . . .

The reason I asked I`m converting a two door wagon into a four door different for a drag car. John Pol Well, I thought about drawing it out with a pencil first...to get it right,then laying some tape down on both sides of line, and CAREFULLY & slowly scribing with the back side of my knife...that will be nerve wracking!!!!! Thanks for the kudos!!! Sixx

John , Doc , thanks guys, that's a huge pat on the back coming from pros like you!!! Now my head's all blowed up like a balloon!! LOL!!!!! I'll post more when I can get stuff done, Sixx
Sixx Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 Wow, this is a far cry from all of the slot car bodies I've been doing lately...geez, I hope I remember how to do a full build!!!!!!

Here's a pic of what I did. I used some aluminum tube that fit in the wheels, and drilled the axle ends to fit, I cut them just long enough to go inside the wheel stud. Sorry for the cruddy photo, if ya look close you can see em sticking out. Sixx
Dr. Cranky Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 You are making this kit already sparkle . . . and I can't wait to see this one in it's best dress-up suit! Keep it going. Take your vitamins and keep it going, please.

Sixx Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks Rob, I just got around to filling the rear side windows and marking the rear for a door line, now I gotta run so I'll do more later
whale392 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Are you doing both (almost looks like it in the last series of pics)? Personal opinion here, but everybody does the 3-window. The Sedan Delivery would be more of a stand-out (do I see a Speed Shop delivery rod in the future?).

I was playing around with diff. bodies, I also tried the 5 window, roadster, & the speedwagon!!!! The sedan won out!!!! Speed shop delivery...maybe, good idea, thanks! Sixx
The Phenom Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Great job!!!!! the wheels look fantastic
Hypermung Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I love the Sedan Delivery idea. Are you going to keep the drip rail above the rear windows or delete it. Some pix for you to ponder over
timc Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I would leave the drip rail just for the sake of character. Sweet build too,I'm starting a 5 window myself.bigtim.

Some pix for you to ponder over Cool renderings!! I'm keeping it stock, just filling in the window areas...from the inside. That's pretty trippy what ya did to the photos!!!

Hypermung Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Yah, I like the drip rail there as well.... BUT, I can really see the 2nd image (the smooth look) with a full black vinyl top down to the belt line.... VERY classy.

That's pretty trippy what ya did to the photos!!! You mean like this?. Yep, I like that too. Then again, I'm a sucker for a Sedan Delivery (& a readhead.... Mmmmm readheads)
