OLDERGUY Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 That 65 is wild, perfect low ride. Question, where do those Supreme looking whls. come from, I meant what kit.
OLDERGUY Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Did a 1:1 GP 85 if i remember right for my son. Got it real cheap needed grille wrk. six with power, so's he wouldn't kill himself in it. No hydro's, cut coils in frt. had him put some coil clamps in the rear springs, he had so many on them they were almost solid. he jacked it up one day to put an old set of Tru-spokes on it, the rear springs fell out. Got him a pair of frts. for the bk., let him cuttem, he liked to sit to much. Had new top put on and cheap paint job, headliner, tune up. He thought he was a thug, took it away, sold it, bought him another bug. That was 95-96., only remember that because, that was his last yr. of high school.

OLDERGUY Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Guy, I've been on the layitlow ? forum, yea there's some really excellant stuff, paint and just in general. I'm a big fan of Bombs myself, but I like them all. Meant to as what size tape do you use for the real fine lines. With all the projects you've got goin I don't expect an answer soon. Keep goin I really enjoy lookin.

rollinoldskoo Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 its been a while since i've posted anything.... apparently i've missed out on a whole lot on unneccesary drama..... honestly... glad i missed it and wasn't a part in it... here's somethin i've been workin on for my boss... replica of his 1:1 64 vette.... 64 kits are kinda pricey and harder to find so i started with an AMT 63 Corvette kit since the 63 nd 64 are the closest as far as body details for 63-67 vettes... that last mockup pic is just for fun... its gettin the factory knockoffs here's pic of his 1:1

Kenny Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 its been a while since i've posted anything.... apparently i've missed out on a whole lot on unneccesary drama..... honestly... glad i missed it and wasn't a part in it... Thanks for inviting him! j/k disclaimer: I am not a HATTER. I am not HATTING on you. I'm not even wearing a HAT! Nice job on the '64 vette conversion!
OLDERGUY Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 I'm trying to figure out who makes the 63 vette, can't tell buy the box. And where do you get the astro supremes yov'e got in the mock up pic. If you don't mind telling an old out of touch guy.
Nick F40 Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 It's like what Clay said, you paint jobs are amazing! Your builds are top notch.
evilone Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 I'm trying to figure out who makes the 63 vette, can't tell buy the box. And where do you get the astro supremes yov'e got in the mock up pic. If you don't mind telling an old out of touch guy. it looks like an AMT if you look at the rear of the car the corner of the boxs has part of a red box it says ERTL they made AMT but i could be wrong
rollinoldskoo Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 yes, it is an AMT/ERTL kit thats been re-issued several times.... the supremes came with this kit
rollinoldskoo Posted April 14, 2008 Author Posted April 14, 2008 ok guys, i'm back to the workbench.... finished helpin my dad move out his old house so now i can work on my hobby room and start cutting up plastic again.... fresh 454SS kit.... started doin the mods to slamm it.... tomorrow i'll work on making a c-notch for the rear axle....
Kenny Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 fresh 454SS kit.... Is it just me or does that kit have the tiniest "big block" you have ever seen? tomorrow i'll work on making a c-notch for the rear axle.... You'll be layin' frame in no time!
Clay Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 That thing will look good, usually not what I like seen done to Muscle Trucks, but I've seen your work and it will turn out good, keep it up
rollinoldskoo Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 pretty much done with the rear now... starting on the front now
rollinoldskoo Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 tunnelled the floor for driveshaft clearance....
dub Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Looking good Gil! You hit a button in me with this build..... I did this one a year ago when I decided to take up this hobby to help me quit smoking. It is my first completed build and paint job ever. I wish I could have found a build like yours when I was building mine. I didn't know about layitlow.com or that probably wouldn't have been a problem. I love what you are doing with yours. The interior never occurred to me to bash a Tahoe snapper... I still have much to learn. I'm surprised how close our removal of body material to do the drop is. I actually took the step out of the frame to keep it as low as I could. Man, I love it! I will definitely be watching this build!
rollinoldskoo Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 how did u lower the front of your truck? did you just "z" the frame? the color u got is almost the same as what i had planned too but i had a 2-tone with a silver lower oh and the interior is from a dually promo
dub Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 It's easier to just show a pic than to try to explain.... Geez.... you can see how I lazed out on doing the exhaust and rear shocks. Doh! The rest of the work I did was to the inside of the body to get it to sit on the frame right. I also had to butcher the interior for fit. Those seats I used are the low back ones from a long bed promo. The only thing I wish I would have done is add some material to keep the wheelbase intact. Here's a front shot to show off the stance better. I agree with Kenny about the engine being too small. That's why I used the big block out of the 66 Nova kit. The fact it has a manual on it already was a bonus. What are you doing in the engine department?
