zaina Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 got a wild hair to start another chop...scale 6". ive been wanting to really slam a duece and do a suicide front and since i robbed the front axle for my 32 vicky, i needed to go a different route. not sure where the i beam came from but i think the bones are from the 48 ford kit...i split them, added rod ends and front mounts that i pinned to the axle. i still need to figure out the mounts for the spring. the rear has been z'ed, lowered, new bags made, and widened. rear wheels and tires are from parts box and fronts from the amt 34 ford. here is how she sits. notice the comparison sitting next to my other sedan that has been channeled but not chopped.
Gluhead Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Far lower than I'm generally interested in, but that's got a lot of potential. Nice start.
vintagedragfan Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 this is gonna be waaaaaay cooool Andy, I am excited to see how it progresses!! nice work man!
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Wicked, mean and low, with just enough ground clearance to actually work. Really like it so far.
Mach1revo Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Awesome. Very similar to one i have going. Love the stance.
MachinistMark Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 This car needs a nail head, rocket or ArDun flatty. Any other choice will be incorrect.
camarofreak82_427 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Thats mean lookin i love that stance
zaina Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Thanks guys. Mark, I don't have an ardun so thats out. I am saving the rocket I do have for the 50 olds. And the only nail head I have really isn't doin it for me...even though I wished I hade a better one because that's what I really want. So with that said I got the kits ford engine to fit nice. However I'm really not too into that idea either. I wanted to use a caddy aircleaner but it won't fit right. So I threw a parts pack caddy motor in the purple pond and when I get it together I can see how it will fit. I'm thinking the six strombergs will look nice sitting there
Droppedgmc Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 The more I see these, the more I'd like to build one..Nice work!
zaina Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 i got the spring mounts made tonight. i thought i would try using brass for the first time since its stronger than plastic anyway. now she sits all on her own. here are some pics of the progress and final stance...also with the ford engine sitting between the rails.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 VERY nice. I was thinking of a similar front end solution to my current 32 project, but I am not sure yet.
mrm Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 As my kid says - That's so totally cool. I love it.
JasonFL Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 When you said low and slammed you weren't kiddin. This thing is freakin awesome! Love how you did the front end, can't wait to see what else you have in store, keep it going.
