so... THAT'S where i hid that frame.

i've almost completed my '55 Chevy gasser, but for a while there, i was stumped trying to fabricate a straight axle front end for it. i KNEW i had at least ONE frame from an MPC '53 Ford flipnose, but for the life of me, couldn't put my hands on it. so, fortune smiled on me when i got my first '79 F350 kit about a month ago and used the 4x4 springs from it, sliced diced and pureed into what passes for gasser springs, then i scrounged a Model A front axle from some Monogram kit parts and made that fit...

and tonight, needing something to fiddle with while paint dries and glass cement sets, i dragged out my failed LRDG kitbash box and decided to recycle my Italeri Blitz truck into a postwar work truck.... beneath and between the mixed parts was... one of my Flipnose frames.

well; i checked it against my Revell '55 frame and it matches wheelbase length almost exactly... the engine mounts would need to move back as well as the trans crossmember, but NEXT time i want to build a '55 gasser... i won't be able to find this frame then either.

This reminds me, I need to organize my spare parts box again...

As for losing stuff, you know how often that happens to me (I swear I complain at least once a week about it, lol)

I think I need to invest in a better system for organization- after spending a good bit if time (and fingertip skin) scratchbuilding a missing airhose assembly connector for the L700 flipcab, I find it underneath the body of the '72 olds I just finished a couple or so nights ago.

....on the same note, I think your organization is top notch compared to mine- I have a tackle box and a few empty kit boxes
