old-hermit Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Look's good. I built a 1/8 deuce flip nose last year only I used the track nose on it. It was a fun project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyclaw Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hermit; I like that tracknose!......Is that a big block with TPI stuffed in there??? I have to say for such an old kit; the big 32's go together pretty well....this one has actually been a "fun" project.....I might actually take time out over the winter to build one of my own. The 3 in 1 kits are great; because of the surplus of parts left over for other builds..........matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-hermit Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 (edited) Rex - The 409 came from "rgondeck", a talented builder, caster, custom decal maker & moderator at www.largescalemodeler.com Deuce - the track nose is from an old Lindberg "Custom T" kit. Hawk models is repopping the Lindy line and it will be available again in 2008. Edited December 25, 2007 by old-hermit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyclaw Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Thx to all for looking....got the car finished up and delivered...the customer was very pleased with the car! I can't seem to get pix uploaded to this board; but you can view the finished car at my site www.monkeyclawmodels.com look on the "hotrod" page. This was a fun project; and I think I may have to build one of the 32 fords for my own collection when I get time... (after Tamiya-Con). Again; Thanx for looking and all the comments........good luck on all your 08 projects..........matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Rex - The 409 came from "rgondeck", a talented builder, caster, custom decal maker & moderator at www.largescalemodeler.com It looks like the link referring to the resin parts (http://www.largescalemodeler.com/dreams/index.html) is closed. Is there another source for 1/8th scale parts? I need four hemi heads for my exterminator. Btw, that is one of the nicest Deuces I've ever seen.
