Ira Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 This is a way cool build. Great job so far on it. Thanks for the kind words Chris!
Ira Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 Ramc Hero, I don't get it? Just kidding, I like the new name and the engine looks great too! Thanks James! Glad you like it so far!
Ira Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 Love the new name. The Hemi is killer too! Thanks Bart, Glad you like it!!!
Ira Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 WORKIN' On The RANCHERO FRAME! I used the Frame from a Vintage Deal's Wheels Tirebird. First I fit the Frame to the inside of the RAMCHERO Body. Then I trimmed the tops of the Frame untill I got a Good Fit and the Tires were positioned right! I cut the rear of the Frame off at an angle to fit inside of the rear of the RAMCHERO. Then I cut a piece of Sheet Plastic to fit the cut -off area. I Glued it in with Zap-A-Gap. End of Part 1...
Ira Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 WORKIN' On The RAMCHERO FRAME...Part 2!!! After I got a Good Fit, I cut Sheet Plastic to fit where the tops of the Frame touch the body. Glued them in with Zap-A-Gap. This will make mounting the body Easy & Secure! Then I sanded the Frame smooth and painted it with Black Primer. Done!
Ira Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 TEST FIT DAY!!! Test Fitting....getting ready for Final Assemblies! That's a Big Rear End!!!
James2 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Coming along nicely! Could the rear sit a little lower? Closer to the wheels maybe.
Ira Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 That looks so cool! GREAT sculpture! Thanks Bart! Glad you like it!
Ira Posted April 25, 2012 Author Posted April 25, 2012 BiG REAR END!!! RAMCHERO needs a BiG REAR END, and I found one in a 16th scale '56 T'Bird! Only Needed Half! This Little Detail...Adds a Lot! Done!

cobraman Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 That is going to be so cool when it's finished. I wish I had the talent to dream up and create something like that.
TooOld Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 This is turning out awesome ! The differential is a nice touch ! BOB.
Ira Posted April 25, 2012 Author Posted April 25, 2012 SHINNY TRIM!!! I painted the Window Trim with Model Masters "Chrome Trim"... I am pretty happy with the Painted Trim as compared to BMF Trim.
cobraman Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Trim looks good. Did you mask or do it free hand ?
Ira Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 Loving the progress. It's looking good, Ira. Thanks for the kind words Dr.!
Ira Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 That is going to be so cool when it's finished. I wish I had the talent to dream up and create something like that. Thanks for the kind words Ray! Try cutting up a few models & see what happens, you never know you might be surprized!
