bryan_m Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 Bart, i think those wheels came from a 55 chevy kit..........or maybe the 50 ford pickup. cant remember. cheers bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I think they are the 55 Chevy. I know because I am building one now. LOL.
bryan_m Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 a couple more shots....... it needs an engine, and some chassis/ suspension and it could be done!!! its so close i have to finish it! more to come bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Oh man, this one IS finished. What does it need?
bryan_m Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 Oh man, this one IS finished. What does it need? it need suspension, and an engine cranky.....i think i have an engine already built that will work, so just suspension. i might change the wheels tho, and give it some fat white walls! bryan
bryan_m Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 Very nice Bryan but what about the Cobra ? thanks Ray! im not sure about the cobra just yet......i might take up the offer for the trunk lid loan, i can make a mold of it....... not sure tho. cheers Bryan
bryan_m Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 time to fuel up, clean up, and then hit the bench! stay tuned gentlemen..........we now pause for station identification. cheers bryan
Modlbldr Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Bryan- This one looks great. You should finish it up and then take some photos outside in the sunlight. It looks like it would sparkle very nicely. Fine work. Later-
Gluhead Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I don't think I've had this kit where the uptop was included. I'd have never gotten rid of mine if it'd been in there. It looks great, and now I need to build one. Fine job on yours, and I hope you do end up going with fat whites (and maybe retrofitting some lowback front seats! ). It'd look awesome!
Greg Pugh Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Wow. That one is sharp. Get that puppy finished already!
Dr. Cranky Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 You got a whole bunch of great projects in progress. Keep feeding us the eye candy, please.
rmvw guy Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Another beauty! I'll always be a fan of the flathead engines, what is your choice on this one? Can't wait!
59 Impala Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 She looks really sweet Bryan. That color looks great. There's only one problem that I see on it (if ya want to call it a problem that is). The license number. It isn't "1613 AUTO" like the rest. :lol: Just kiddin ya Bryan. The color combination of the interior and exterior looks great. Nice simple custom ya got here buddy. Now, we just need to see the go power ya got in mind fer it. Dan
Ramfins59 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Great looking car Bryan. Love the name "Brown Betty". You'd never know it wasn't finished by looking at the pictures. BTW... don't forget to add front seatbelts... you've got them in the back already. I've gotta get back to working on this model myself. It wound up back in the box 3 or 4X because of #1- Paint issues and #2 - Interior issues....... But I've got 2 of the kits so I think I can get it finished. I also had problems accepting the "hole-in-the-engine" for the front axle, although I may just glue the front wheels on, skip the metal axle, and put a different engine in it, without the hole. Time will tell.
