Talbot90 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 As a time filler whilst glue dries on the Gasser, Im going to build this concurrently. Initial mock up after I chopped the body Ian
dragzz Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 so far so good i like the chop good job there keep up the good work cant wait to see it all done
Talbot90 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Finished the Gasser .. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69549&hl= so now onto the Tudor. Ive 'Suicided" the front end. and decided to use the Revell Parts Pack 354 Cadillac engine. Since the motors going to be out for all to see, I thought I'd try a bit of detailing. I decided to drill out the carbs and add butterflies. cheers Ian
southpier Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 if everything shares the detail of the carburetor, it will be a fantastic ride
LDO Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Are you going to change the '30/'31 cowl to a '28/'29 style? It can be done with a Revell '29 pickup cowl.
crazyrichard Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 hhm awsome !! reminds me i still need to do a tudor !!
Talbot90 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks for the nice comments guys.. Hey LDO Are you going to change the '30/'31 cowl to a '28/'29 style? It can be done with a Revell '29 pickup cowl. I hadn't thought of that..but great idea. I have that kit in my stash. I'll swap cowls .. cheers Ian
sk8erdave Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 now that is so cool!!! where did you get the hairpins from??
Talbot90 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 now that is so cool!!! where did you get the hairpins from?? Thanks sk8erdave, the hairpins are from my parts box..sorry , no idea what kit they're from. :-(
Talbot90 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) I'm really enjoying this build..the vehicle style suits my tastes...so I see a few more in my future build list! :-) As per LDO's suggestion Ive swapped in the 28 / 29 cowl from my parts box. I raised the rear frame Zed as I felt the car wasn't low enough. That introduced a deeper body channel and floor construction. Two steps froward..one back! :-) Then scratched the rear spring and axle mount. Ian Edited February 2, 2013 by Talbot90
Talbot90 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 Been away on business so its been slow progress lately. I did however get some paint on before I left, so its time for some initial assembly. cheers Ian
Talbot90 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 started painting the body.. Applied some pre shading and rusted the under floor. Still alot more layers to go..but I'm liking the look so far. :-) thanks for looking. Ian
nhra1625 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 If you were to build this same thing but as a body/frame dragging one that would be a sick combo! Having a practical one with a show one to go with it haha. I love this so far, I wish I could save my 34 ford and do this to it. Pete
Talbot90 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 Hi Pete, thanks for the kind words, ..yeah my next one ( already in the planning stage) will definitely be a frame dragger..
MachinistMark Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Pleaaaaaase no rust! That's an awesome lookin A should be shiny
