1930fordpickup Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Wow , at first I was thinking you were going for the rat version . Then the gold paint appears . Nice color.
Jantrix Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Can tell from your work bench you're a newbie. No, I don't think he is. Likely he is a returning modeler. This some very clean work. I'm really enjoying this build of one of my favorite kits. Keep it going Steven.
stevekouw Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 Jantrix, you are correct. I used to model as a young teen and then took a break when I found 1:1 cars and girls were something I was interested to at the time! LOL! As far as the style, I am going for a traditional hot rod style.
Badluck 13 Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 I have the same kit on my bench,I too de-chromed the suspension and painted it the same color!!!!,the color just seems to go so well with the body, I like the firewall fit and finish,something I wish I had done.....I am for sure gonna watch this one.
stevekouw Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 Sorry it's been so long for an update, but I am back at it and making good progress Here is the suspension installed: Started some engine detail:
southpier Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 can the rear end be mounted like that? to get it lowered?
stevekouw Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 I am not sure if it lowered it any. I just put it in that way. Maybe it is upside down ?
Gluhead Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Yep, it's upside down. If you can swap it around without major surgery, I'd do it. If not, I won't tell if you don't.
stevekouw Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 A couple more pics: The generator bracket: I really liked the look of the opened front window so I decided to give it a try:
stevekouw Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 Here is a pic of the motor set in the chassis for good! Finally lol Upclose of some detail Thanks for looking and to those who have been following this build I appreciate the comments. I have been dealing with kidney stones for the last two weeks so I have not done as much as I would like, but I am in the home stretch. Then I have to decide what to build next
bryan_m Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 oh man! kidney stones.....that sucks! the build is lookin good tho, keep `er goin! cheers bryan
stevekouw Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 Just waiting on the grille to dry then assemble it and this rod will be in the under the glass section this afternoon. Keep your eyes peeled!
chebbysteve Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Very nice work, Steven. The double T kit is just about my favorite, and youre doing a nice job of it. Anxious to see it completed.
stevekouw Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 It's finally finished! Here is a quick pic. Head over to the Under the Glass section to see more of the final shots. Thanks everyone for following.
bryan_m Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 wow! that came out really nice steven! cheers bryan
cobraman Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Looks good. I like the color and the front window being open.
