tyrone Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Good Stuff David.. I always like checking in on your projects...
Psychographic Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 I don't know how, but the rear tires were no longer centered, maybe because of all the work on the interior tub. I had to move the rear forward a touch. This meant cutting out the old mounts and shortening the trailing arms. I added a license plate box to the rear rollpan and started reworking the taillights.
misterNNL Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 You're making all the right changes in all the right places.This model is already a great combination of design,attitude and styling.Following this build is real pleasure!
TooOld Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Things do tend to move mysteriously when doing a build like this , nothing surprises me any more ! It's coming along nicely Dave . I like the way you did the tailgate hinges , and the subtle change to the taillights really works !
bill_67 Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) What can be said other than, WOW great build! I know it my be a little early, but any idea on colour. Edited June 4, 2014 by bill_67
mrm Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 This is getting better every time I visit. Keep it up. Can't wait to see it finished.
rage59 Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 that is one cool car you are building . looking forward to seeing more
MsDano85gt Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 is that a "blue flame straight six modified? or a regular ol plain jane 250 ci. thirfty six from many of the gm cars?
Art Laski Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 That's one bad ride! Your scratch-building and imagination is always inspirational. Keep up the great work!-Art
Psychographic Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks for the comments everyone. What can be said other than, WOW great build! I know it my be a little early, but any idea on colour. I can't decide on the colors and this has me stalled for the moment.
DynoMight Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks for the comments everyone. I can't decide on the colors and this has me stalled for the moment. Black with red top and red interior Blue with blue top and tan interior Black with black top and red/tan interior Silver with white top and black interior Red with silver/white top and black/tan/white interior Orange wouldn't look that good, neither green or white.
Obivion Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I vote for something classic. Cream with pale lime green for exemple. Dennis
TFchronos Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Candy Red and Pearl White sounds really good. Or maybe Deep Sapphire Blue with Charcoal Grey Metallic.
freakshow12 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Root beer brown with tan interior. Trust me. Brown is the new black
Psychographic Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Any updates? Sorry Bob, I just haven't been in the mood for playing with any plastic. One thing I've learned, don't try to build a model when I'm not into it. Things go wrong, I get aggrevated and nothing good will come of it.
mnwildpunk Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I like the idea a corvette that can actually carry something diorama idea this with a bunch of 2x4s and a sheet of plywood hanging out the tailgate
rage59 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 well Dave I have to say this is one of my favorite builds on here . I think the root beer with a cream white top would set this car off . thanks for sharing this build with us
slusher Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Sorry Bob, I just haven't been in the mood for playing with any plastic. One thing I've learned, don't try to build a model when I'm not into it. Things go wrong, I get aggrevated and nothing good will come of it. It's the same way with me David with my disability. I can never do good work if I am not into it....
Ridge Rider Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I think most of us get the creative juices flowing and then have life happen, which includes work, family, and social obligations. Then the model it'self can run into a problem, especially when scratch building, and needs to sit till the ideas come to fruition. Believe me i know, I'm getting close to finishing my first custom since getting back into the hobby 6 yrs ago. I will post post pictures, but It has been a long wip with many problems and lot's of staring and trial fits. Don't rush it but I do look forward to seeing how this turns out and am appreciative of the builders that build customs and share knowing how long it can take. Thanks again for sharing.
