Dave Mikrut Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Remember I said the Li'l Coffin body was narrowed to mate up with the 32 Deuce? Well at this point I had to decide on a direction, and I really wanted to use the cool Coffin kit parts, so I narrowed the Coffin chassis, and here with the miracle of trick photography, are the before and after fotos. Well actually from this viewpoint, the after and before photos, hehe... A car modeling pal I met on the internet and a really talented Master Machinist by the name of Bob Dudek supplied me with some brake drums and slotted wheels that are gonna just knock you outta yer socks. I narrowed the rear end and installed the suspension just as I would have from the stock kit. The leaf spring had to have a portion removed from the center and it's held together hole and dowel style. Just look how cool those aluminum drums look on there! The front suspension is really tricky on the Coffin kit and I hoped to add a bit more detail by replacing the kit springs with coils made from aluminum wire. Painted inside is a black piece of rod, so the don't actually sproing, but the illusion is good. And finally how it's gonna look with all 4 tires. Aren't those wheels amazing?
