wayne swayze Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Got colour on the truck this morning! Went with MM Guards Red...love that colour! Sorry no photos today...left my camera at home again.
Bernard Kron Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Really sweet proportions and stance and lovely chassis work. It looks like you have trimmed the grill shell to mount it sitting on the front cross member. To my eyes it looks like you could move the whole assembly (crossmember, axle and grill) rearward slightly to close up some space between the front of the engine and the radiator. That and trimming a little more from the bottom of grill shell would really tighten up the already nice setup. Of course, since there doesn't appear to be a front accessory drive and cooling fan mounted, I could be wrong... In any case it's a super-nice build so far and I look forward to more progress.
wayne swayze Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Just a quick mockup today. Nothing glued yet....still needs a few things done. Edited September 5, 2015 by wayne swayze title change

wayne swayze Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 The door panels have been started.....still have to add handles and glass.
wayne swayze Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Thought I would compare my old (1979) yellow '34 with my new build. Tried to line up the cabs.
gatorincebu Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Wow! Now that is looking real good. I like the old school wheels and white wall tires. Be Well Gator Edited September 17, 2015 by gatorincebu
wayne swayze Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 Spent some time polishing the truck today. Also have the grille and headlights in, but not glued in place on the chassis yet. I was abit disappointed with the decal for the tailgate as after I àpplied it there was silvering and I didn't have any decal set on hand. Not a deal breaker tho'.
wayne swayze Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 Got the gas tank and battery box painted to my satisfaction.
wayne swayze Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 Floor is in, tailgate and taillights andgas tank and battery box also. Slow progress. Cleared my bench, so time to build.
wayne swayze Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 Since I finished the '29 "lakes" car, this is now back on my bench. I lowered the rear a tad and thought I'd try different wheels. The wheels came with the Tasca Ford kit and fit the tires/whitewalls from the Revell '29 rat rod truck kit. Just a very small tweak and they fall into place. Guess I'll go with 'em.
