Ira Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 man i like that it's very cool ,can't wait to see it finished. Thanks, Glad you like it!
Nitrozilla Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) I'm liking the idea of making the tail lights part of the engine. Just make sure you French them, encase them in a metal tube, or if they are exposed explain to people that the lenses are made from Transparent Red Unobtainium so they can withstand the heat of the exhaust !!!

Modelmartin Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 I will race you when you are done! Seriously though, I love your work.

Ira Posted December 25, 2011 Author Posted December 25, 2011 I will race you when you are done! Seriously though, I love your work. Thanks for the kind words Martin! I have been following your work for a while, Great Builds!! Love the backwards Studebaker & the VW Drag Cars too...
Ira Posted December 25, 2011 Author Posted December 25, 2011 Vents & Intakes!!! These HO scale stairs from Plastruct are perfect for making vents or intakes! They come in at least 2 sizes... I cut the stairs to size, cut a hole big enough to fit and glued them in. This front vent will be turned into 3 vents later... stay tooned!!!
Ira Posted December 26, 2011 Author Posted December 26, 2011 I Filled in some of the Slots with putty to make 3 vents from one! I added vents in the rear also!
Ira Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Looking good, Ira. Very innovative. Thanks James! I saw this Vent/Stairs idea on another website a while ago. It is a great tip...
Ira Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 I filled in the lower horizontal slots in the bumper area!
David G. Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Excellent progress! I love the "stair vents" David G.
Foxer Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I have a soft spot for '59 Chevys, but I'm loving this! Finally a build where the front nose vents look right!

84vanagon Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I've been watching this one from the start. It's going to be another one of your cool builds! The vents are great. Thanks for the updates.
Ramfins59 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 This is really cool. Reminds me a little of the flying car that Juha Airio from Finland did a few years ago that was featured in SA. It's a lot of fun, not to mention the work, to make something this wild. You did a great job. I tried something along these lines with 2 '59 Dodge promo bodies and the '58 T-Bird bubble. Mine has wheels though. As soon as I get around to opening up a Photobucket account I'll post some pictures of it along with some other Customs I've done.

Ira Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Molded in the Big Jet Engines! I like this much better! Edited January 3, 2012 by Ira
Ira Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 VERTICAL THRUST!!! I cut out 3 holes in the bottom of the body for Vertical Thrusters. I'm using 24th scale wheels for the Thrusters, these are from Monograms Cherry Bomb.
James2 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Coming along nicely, Ira. I like the rear look just as it is. Maybe add a trim piece kinda like the 1:1 between the thrusters.
