Since you asked,.. a few more pics of the Channelled '34

[traditional]

Someone asked if I could show more pics of the '34 Hot Rod so I'm attaching some shots showing additional detail etc.

The underside view shows the handmade rear suspension (individual aluminum strip leaves for the "buggy style rear spring etc.) as well as the brake-lines, fuel-line, and 'hairpin' brackets etc.

The opening fabricated styrene trunk is finished in felt to represent carpeting, and a gas filler is mounted in the lower trunk (a good reason to do the louvres on the trunk lid).

Door handles are formed from plated wire which goes through a tiny length of polished aluminum tubing (to look like the mounting flange).

Incidentally, the one-piece hood is also handformed from sheet aluminum.

Someone also asked about paint and primer. I use RM Dimont automotive one part primer and basecoat with two-part clearcoat.

Although automotive basecoat/clearcoat can be somewhat dangerous without proper ventilation etc., I luckily happen to have a decent set up for using it because my brother and I also restore real cars for ourselves and have accumulated the appropriate equipment over the years.

I can only add one pic at a time here, and then have to add others by editing the original post so it may take a few minutes until the pics are all attached

You should put these pictures with your other thread. It would be easier for everyone.

Thank you for this new round of pictures. I think most of us would agree this one is a stunner. Gorgeous all the way around. You gotta take it to some shows and show if off.

Best wishes, and now I'm looking forward to your next one.
