Still on my bench....

[Steve H.]

I'm still plugging along on the 55 Street Freak and the 27 roadster. The 55 kinda got sidelined when the roadster started coming together, but I started polishing out the clearcoat this week. Still need to polish, BMF and detail the interior before I call it done.

The roadster, on the other hand, has had all my attention lately. Got the suspension together, the engine 90% built, and the interior 90% complete.

MCG banjo wheel (There should be a rule about big meat hook hands and ultra fine photo-etch!), scratch built dash, craft wire bezels on photocopy gauges. I only need a shifter to wrap it up. The steering wheel is a bit too big, but, oh well...

Those injector stacks are hard gas line swages (the peice that flares a tube out). A buddy gave me a set to use, and they are the perfect little peice of engine jewelry!

Sorry for the crappy pics! Hopefully I'll wrap these up soon and get some beauty shots to post.

Thanks for looking... Comments always welcome.

I'm lovin' the 55's stance, Steve...but the roadster really speaks to me out loud. The finish you achieved on the body and the banjo steering wheel are just the ticket IMO.

Two very cool models!

That Nomad looks great, Steve! It should be killer when it's done. As for the '27 roadster, you are going to put a skull shift knob on the lever of course?

I'm peeved, though, because I lost the 8 ball shifter I was going to use!!!

Hey Steve that '55 gives new meaning to "getting some air" I love it...the rod's looking good to,I really like the paintjob! ..B

They both Look awesome Steve! Great Job! By the way.... Does the '55 need to be registered with the FAA, for being that high up?
