Aussie Matt Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Started this one a little while ago. Tried to read the guidlines on photos etc, just came up with page not found all the time. So if I add too many photos per post or anything else like that just let me know. Cheers Matt Started with the roof... First mock up... Stretched chassis and sectioned rear quarters Grill Grill shortened, engine mock up started and lowered a little more in the front... And the tray started... That's it for now....hopefully not too many pictures!. Let me know what you think.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 You've got our attention! Great idea, and I think it's going to turn into a wonderful model. Please keep it going. Thanks for sharing.
Custom Mike Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 I like the way this one is going Matt, keep it going!
FASTBACK340 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Wow, it kind of looks like an updated Willy's Jeepster! Great idea! I love it when someone comes up with a new idea on a well-known kit. Build on!
Psychographic Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 That's a cool idea. Is that a Revell parts pack engine?
Aussie Matt Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 Not really my idea, have seen one on the web (a three window), and someone here in Australia offers a three window resin body very similar to the Dan Fink body. I found this picture on the web and thought it would look good a s a five window (I'm 6'7" so if it was full size it would be a tad more suitable for me ). Thanks for the comments too!
surfjunke Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 WOW, That is wild! It is shaping up really well so far. It should be a cool ute.
Aussie Matt Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 That's a cool idea. Is that a Revell parts pack engine? Hi David, no it's the AMT Blueprinter engine with some carbs from the parts box and brass velocity stacks, the exhaust which I'm wroking on is brass stock and I'll drill the ends out. Cheers Matt
nybuilder Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 That is one crazy setup on the engine, really nice work.
Fuel Coupe Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Potvin blower set up is pretty trick. gonna watch this one.
Randy D Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Hi Matt, Great idea!! Are you going to do rear fenders??? Randy
Aussie Matt Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Hi Matt, Great idea!! Are you going to do rear fenders??? Randy Hi Randy, yes I will be doing the rear fenders, just unsure on whether I will do the fronts as well and have long running boards or just leave the front with no guards. Have a medicine bottle the right diameter for the rear guards. Matt Edited October 4, 2011 by Aussie Matt
Modellpularn Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 That's a wild induction setup!! Not to mention the real car which I guess inspired you..... wow It has inspired me too now!
FASTBACK340 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Your turn: How's progress coming along on that Speedwagon? Great idea, please ..... updates !
Dr. Cranky Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Your turn: How's progress coming along on that Speedwagon? Great idea, please ..... updates ! Ditto!
Aussie Matt Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Haven't been on for a while or done any building, but this is where I got up to a while ago........everyday life has gotten in the way! Edited July 18, 2013 by Aussie Matt
