b_lever1 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Getting stuff done! Along with these I do have a big truck on the go. Got paint on the Deuce this is a model that I wanted to build for sometime All the kits out there where junk they did build nice looking cars but they where just not right.I found a sight that has tons of info on the real car and clones that where just perfect so there is lots of info. The frame is scratch built the only kit part in the frame is the center member it is from the ala cart. The front end has a modified front axle with scratch done spindles leaf springs with working shackles the same goes for rear end.More to come Edited June 22, 2013 by b_lever1

Modlbldr Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Man, I finally found the CBP for me!! All of my builds are stalled in some form or another. I had a friend over the other night and we were going through my stash. I have in- progress builds that go back 24 years (69 Rampage Camaro) I have been focusing on a couple lately to get them finished. They are a 50 Ford Sedan and a 41 Chevy pickup. I am also working on a 51 Chevy. I am going to a buddy's house tonight to build. I'll take some photos to post. Later-
Pat Minarick Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I have a list ,I sure would like to get them done this year !!!!! I finished a couple up !
Chuck Most Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Well, I just pulled one out of a three-year intimate session with the ol' mothballs- http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=36281#entry1008930 Remind me politely and I'll come up with some content for that I'll post here instead of its separate build thread.
Jantrix Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 Okay, another Back on the Bench project. AMT '49 Ford. Going full kustom on this one, including a chop and turning it into a hardtop. I'm also using the front/rear rolled pans and will be extending the short spearlike bodyline from the rear tail light all the way to the edge of the door. Paint is still up in the air at the moment, but I'm thinking something glossy with some scalloped decals.
b_lever1 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Rob the old shoebox looks great well good thing this CBP is never ending having to pack up my shop.Last time I had to do this was because of the BIG D, well here we go again.Started to pack up tonight tons of kits started never finished, but this does have a happy ending new life,new wife,new house, with a monster TOYBOX can not wait to get in the new house.Still don't know how or what to put/build new place,see new shop in general forum still will have the van out and working on it.
Jantrix Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Awesome Bob. Can't wait to see the new workshop. Guys, I decided to try my first chop. First off, it's nothing fancy. I nixed the B-pillars and just cut the top into two pieces, leaned the A and C pillars in a bit, filled in the missing length. I wanted a hardtop, so I'm not adding modified B pillars back to it, but it makes the windows seem super long and I'm never liked that so I added some stock to make the C - pillar larger, something I've never seen done before on a custom. I'm going to clean it up a bit and prime just to see how it looks, but I'd love some opinions. First is the side I haven't modified yet. This side has the modified C-pillar. Thoughts?
b_lever1 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Well I got pictures and we move in Nov8 2013 YES 15X15 room the wife is spoiling me.I love it.
tubbs Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 nooooo!! this thread cant be dead!?!? I am sure we all have projects to keep this thread going! I started up a thread a few days ago just for builds like this and canned it when I found this one. well, I am here to revitalize this thread. I have so many projects, it's totally ridiculous. I was hoping to get everyone to suck it up and get a project done each month of this year. yea, you know you have that many projects. just post up a picture of the build in it's current state and at minimum, when you complete it, then move onto the next one. well, that is my goal, 1 per month at the least (ha, I could go for a few years). so, will there be anyone to man up and join me? in no particular order, here is a small sampling of my projects; my 40 ford 41 Plymouth 60 starliner 62 catalina (this is on the bench now) continued.......
tubbs Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 here are some more..... 64 dodge AWB 67 coronet 67 GTX 69 dart sooooo many more. hopefully this will get a fire going back under this one. comments and suggestions welcome on any of these projects.
Jantrix Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 This thread never dies, it just gets put back on the shelf for a while. Ill return to my shelf models later in the year. I look forward to your work.
tubbs Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 rob, i vote for the added c-pillar material X2 !! really adds to the custom look.
Jantrix Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks guys. That one will be the first one I restart this summer.
tubbs Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) well, for one, this post will send us back up to the top, and 2; I fell into the old project trap ... twice. someone was looking for some engine parts, so I got my box of "bagged motors" out and what to my surprise, a blown big block chevy motor I had forgotten about. "man, this would look GREAT in that 66 pro street nova I was doing." so, I set it aside, started digging some more for the stuff I was suppose to be looking for and lo and behold, I find another chevy big block. "well, this would look AWESOME in that other 66 nova I was planning on making a sleeper out of......" i started the new year out with; 1 - 55 chevy drag car 2 - 62 Pontiac pro street on my bench, then sometime, don't know how but these got added........ 1 - 60 starliner pro street 4 - 32 ford pro street 5 - 70 super bee 6 - 70 coronet 500 pro street.... ...to the bench, and now I have added 2 66 nova's. hmmmm, i have got it bad!!! my goal is to have at least 4 of these done by the end of February.... wish me luck!! Edited January 31, 2014 by tubbs
tubbs Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 well, time to throw another post up here and get it back to the top of the page. I have revamped my projects, again but just a little. still have the 55 AWB car, the hemi 70 super bee, the 32 highboy and the 62 Pontiac pro street/drag (still not really sure which way I am going on this). I have added another 55 chevy. never could get direction on this, different engines, different wheels and paint schemes... well, I have finally locked it down to this....... this is Scott Sullivan's 55 they call, Cheez-Whiz". I will not be able to duplicate it exactly, but I will get as close as I can. this is what I will be starting with...... the only thing different from this photo is that is in primer. have sorted parts out, now that I have direction, I can roll on this one. funny, this car got the title because in the Car Craft article, Scott was shown pouring cheez whiz out of the container onto the trunk of the car to show off the color. spoke to him at the Hot Ron Nat's and he stated that he added red food die to the cheez whiz to make the whiz look the same as his car. I know, more useless info for you guys to forget. wish me luck, Tubbs
