Dr. Cranky Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 OH BOY, I really like that. Get it going, you are on a roll, Bryan. These are some of the best models you've worked on in a long time. Looking forward to it, and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryan_m Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) thanks guys, i might sit and cut the doors and trunk lid out tonight after i get a little more done on the 49. im glad i have a set of Kens hinges here to look at so i can make nice ones! now theres a build i have to finish! remember that 49 merc that ken made hinges for me? i cut open the doors and trunk lid, and sent it to him, and he made the hinges for me.........he also reverse hinged the hood for me. hmmm, lemme find a pic of that thing and ill post it, stay tuned! cheers bryan Edited April 29, 2012 by bryan_m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_m Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Heres the one that Ken did the hinges for me......i couldnt show you how the hood works because it has to be assembled for it to work, and i would have to paint it first. heres a couple shots, thanks to Ken again! he even added a stop for me so they wont swing inward..... the trunk lid has a catch on it to hold it open!! ok back to work! more to come bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan30 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Looks great, I like the inside door detail where the door meets the inside panel. Did you do this? N If so how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N If so how? no, i didnt do it, Ken Hamilton did. all I did was cut open the doors and trunk lid, primed it, and then ken did the rest. i should build it, ive had it back here for well over a year! cheers bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torinobradley Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Cool projects to be sure. Looking forward to seeing where they go. An interesting tidbit on the inspiration car: It's a fiberglass body detailed, drilled and painted to look like rusty metal. Saw it in a mag a few years ago.
