Ira Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 LAST COAT!!! Sprayed the Ranchero with some more Grey Filler/Primer. A little spot putty and some White Primer are next...

Hoosierfarmboy Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 I like this build. These style models stir a quirky sense of humor within us. Keep up the good job.

Ira Posted March 19, 2012 Author Posted March 19, 2012 Oh yeah! Def use that exhaust! Tim Thanks for your comment Tim!
Ira Posted March 19, 2012 Author Posted March 19, 2012 Cool build ira I have been following your build on coffin corner and am thinking about posting a build myself Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your photos!
Ira Posted March 19, 2012 Author Posted March 19, 2012 This is awesome Ira ! You could scratch build some Boss 429 valve covers for that block (you have the talent) . Yes I am a ford guy. LOL Good Idea!
Ira Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 wow just came across this, pretty cool and a lot of ambition to boot! Love the idea and all of your hard work to pull it off way to go can't wait to see it finished. Thanks Darren, Glad you like it so far!
Ira Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 It's coming along, Ira. Beautiful! Thank You Dr.!
race06 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 MAN! I really dig wat U doin wit dis build. the imagination is a wonderful thing!
Ira Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 I'm new to this post. wOw... that was brilliant Ira, to graft on those those side pieces! The result just looks "right." (saved a lot of work too, way to go.) Thanks Roger! Yeah, I had a choice to either put the fenders on the Ranchero or put the Ranchero on the fenders. This way worked out pretty good!
CorvairJim Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Having seen a few of your other similar builds, I've been following this one from Day One. Now you've gone and done it! You've got me thinking about doing the same thing to a Corvair! The fenders from the same Camaro, same basic shortening treatment to the body (with a possible windshield chop as well, laving the roof stock height toward the back), a blown Zinger V-8 out back, etc, etc...
camaroman Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks Lane! I haven't decided on colors, any suggestions? I'm not Lane but may I suggest any of the "Grabber" colors, I think this would look good in "Grabber Green"... BTW Great Job!!!
Ira Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 You be havin' way too-o-o much fun... I like it! Enjoyed seein' your models at the NNL West c'ya Curt Thanks for the kind words Curt! It was a Great time at NNL, looking forward to next year!

Thanks for the kind words Mike! I'm not sure how much of the original Ranchero details will stay or return at this point...

CorvairJim Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 On my limited budget, finding the Deal's Z-28 might be a problem. I'm tempted to just go ahead and rough it out with sheet stock and Bondo. I have plenty of AMT '69 Corvair bodies to play with, including more than a few damaged glue bombs ripe for the cutting. I've seen the blown '64 Monza Spyder in the photo above online and have downloaded about half a dozen pics of the car for future reference. This car was my inspiration forone I'm building for the "Vintage Racing" (or whatever it's called) CBP. Nobody actually raced a car like that that I know of, but it definitely could have been done. Mine will be based on the '69 model, backdated to a '66, with a straight axle up front.

I have found a few Deals Wheels "Builder" kits on Ebay for $10 to $15 including shipping...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Hope to see some progress on this one soon, Ira.
Ira Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Hope to see some progress on this one soon, Ira. Me Too!!! Working on the Engine Right Now... Edited March 29, 2012 by Ira
Ira Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) GOT SOME PAINT!!! I Finished the Body Work and appllied some White Primer. After the Primer dried I sanded it Smooth and then applied a couple of coats of Testors Diamond Dust Lacquer! Edited April 6, 2012 by Ira
