otherunicorn Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Finally got my motor, so my build has commenced.
VW Dave Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I like how this one's coming together, and you really oughta send pics to Ken & Keith @ Rolling Bones when it's done. Minus the channel, you've nailed their style.

Minus the channel, you've nailed their style. Thanks! Sending pics to Ken and Keith is a great Idea! I put a small channel so I wouldn't have to extend the hood so much. (The body is actually racked more in the front than rear)
drpndstroy Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 i actually joined these forums early this morning after thumbing through this thread as well as the CBP Fox thread and i think this place with community builds like this will keep me motivated...haven't modeled in years but i picked up the AMT 3-n-1 2 car kit and this is what i have so far. I also expect to see the 93 cobra, 92 lowrider, and 85 SVO i got off ebay this morning in a week or so. until then this will be my focus model as well as diggin out all my old projects and blowing the dust off them. Well on with the pics: Doesn't seem like much but carving the tires to fit the wheels is time consuming and they still didn't turn out perfect but they will do for my first rig back into the hobby and get me warmed up for my coupe project. Also note I'm out of work from a huge wreck around christmas so I'll have lots of progress pics!
Chris M Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) I've been fighting off one of the worst colds I've ever had, But am managing to get some stuff done. The body is still a little tacky (Testors red enamel, decanted, thinned 2:1, sprayed through my Paasche Talon) so I didn't want to handle it too much for these mock up shots. Few more days, I'll give the body a quick once over with some 2000 grit, then hit it with duplicolor clear. Edited March 16, 2012 by Chris M
drpndstroy Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 blaze i see we're doing the same kit did you find out where the distributor goes for the wires?
drpndstroy Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) had to fight with the engine today got the color wrong twice finally settled on this and the chrome is taking a while to strip finally got the front end parts stripped and that's when i made the decision to strip the entire chrome sprue so i'm going to let it sit in bleach all day tomorrow as i heard it was a more effective process here's a parting shot for now until i get all the chrome stripped and carry on with the building maybe some small stuff tomorrow Edited March 17, 2012 by drpndstroy
blazefox Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) blaze i see we're doing the same kit did you find out where the distributor goes for the wires? Ther is a distributor if you are useing blower on crome tree. It will fit under blower but for three carb setup its built in look a motor asembally instructions and READ the discripsion CAREFULLY cuz insuructions are hard yo read. Next im doing unchopped version or a 36 ford coupe Edited March 17, 2012 by blazefox
otherunicorn Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) You're right about those horrific instructions! Mine is the same kit too. Edited March 17, 2012 by otherunicorn
blazefox Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Yup and it looked like it came with a incomplete six pack carb set up,too
blazefox Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Next im thinking about a 36 ford chopped led sled
drpndstroy Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing you guys are referring to the MAGNETO under the front of the blower...call me crazy but how would you wire it? at any rate I got all the chrome stripped today and got most of the body work done and in primer once it cures fully gonna hit it with 800 wet and then color it a yellow-orange metallic type color (using candy so I'm shooting for for the yellow side of the color but it could vary) and then make a decision on flat or gloss clear depending on how the color turns out. anyway primed body teasers for now...hope to have more progress to show later tonight missed a bit of flash around the trunk trim gonna fix it before paint. until later keep carving and remember it's all about fun Edited March 17, 2012 by drpndstroy
blazefox Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 here is an old model of a 32 high boy coupe i did just some eye candy
Bernard Kron Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 What is the time window on this? Traditional rods are pretty much all I build, but I'd like to earmark a project just for this CBP. I always have something on the bench that fits the rules... BTW the Rolling Bones 5-window is real sharp!
drpndstroy Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) one header wrapped ready for paint wrapped and painted mock up and they look sexy if i do say so myself Edited March 19, 2012 by drpndstroy
blazefox Posted March 19, 2012 Author Posted March 19, 2012 Nice looks good wat you guys think of my 32 ford coupe
drpndstroy Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 i'm no fan of box chrome but you build as a whole looks wonderful...i just don't feel that box chrome is accurate, i prefer alclad so my only complaint would be the chrome
Chris M Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 BTW the Rolling Bones 5-window is real sharp! Thank you!
drpndstroy Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 not much done on the T today as I worked on building this nifty new paint rack to organize my bench a bit as the XBOX was kinda in the way now maybe I'll get a little more organized. maybe a little progress on the T later this evening.
