Jim3 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 I got a little more done on her... Cut & rolled the top of the fender over then built the corner up to the door line and took off the fender line on the door. Filled in the side bodyline & added the lower window molding..

Jim3 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Having trouble posting pics for some reason But it would let me attach pics ? Got the passenger side as far as the driver side, took a break from the body and cast a pair of rear slicks & rims and carb. After several tries I got a pair of headlight buckets made up.. Also been working on a big block for it, scratch built a head to copy and a oil pan that still needs something ? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim3 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well here is a little more, got the nose & hood ruffed in. A new oil pan and intake made up.. Couple more things to add to the nose and I can glue it to the body for final shaping ...Got the head set in rubber and casted a couple last night...
