Belugawrx Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Remember to take the lugs and dust cap off that wheel! The AMT '55-57 Chevy pickups have a spare wheel with those off already. Good call Tom I think.... I might,..... still have one of those,...... around here,..... somewhere
JTalmage Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I am off to a good start. I just made a permanent desk at home finally. I really might build something this year!
sbwy80 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Anybody know any resin casters that make a flat hood for the revell fairlane? Modelhaus has one listed on their site. Ford Hoods
Tom Geiger Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I am off to a good start. I just made a permanent desk at home finally. I really might build something this year! Cool! Looks like you made that top yourself. I'd seal it with paint. It'll be stained in no time and crud will embed in the bare wood.
JTalmage Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Cool! Looks like you made that top yourself. I'd seal it with paint. It'll be stained in no time and crud will embed in the bare wood. Thats not just the top, thats the whole desk! Mounted to thin strips on the walls, and has two legs screwed to the ends. Here's a different picture w/o the lamp installed. I may do something w/ the top. But I kinda like the worn work bench look.
Dragfreak Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Modelhaus has one listed on their site. Ford Hoods Thank you. Just ordered a hood and a few other items.
Belugawrx Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Bench looks good... just be careful not to get a pressure treated splinter from those legs!?! You might want to run some gussets at the tops too (keep 'em from gettin' wobbly)

You might want to run some gussets at the tops too (keep 'em from gettin' wobbly) Agreed. Something like adhesive shelf paper on the edges of the wood and legs to prevent sprinters. The gussets will be a must have too.
Foxer Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Ricardo says 'of course' when his "excellent" welds passed the leak test and can now be mounted in the trunk. That thirsty V12 will he happy too!
Petetrucker07 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I'll post pics this week, but I finally have all the key pieces for my entry. A little change, I decided to go with a 56 Nomad instead of the Del Ray. So I'm building a twin turbo small block powered 56 Chevy Nomad with NASCAR suspension.
wagonmaster Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Clayton I will change your entry to a 56 Nomad. Don't forget to post up a picture of the kit. My official entry is going under the camera tonight. look for pictures soon. Tim Edited January 27, 2015 by wagonmaster
Petetrucker07 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Thanks for changing it on the list. Here's a pic of just about everything. The Nomad kit, the NASCAR kit, the Ross Gibson TT resin kit, and a bunch of stuff from Detail Master. Edited January 27, 2015 by Petetrucker07
Petetrucker07 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 The wheelbase on these is real close to the same. This is my first all out bash build. Good thing I have all almost year to finish it.
zenrat Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 We have been busy haven't we. Unusually for me i've made a start and we're not even out of January. As I love the PSR cycle so much I couldn't wait to get started so I hacked the bulge off the Citation hood and roughly glued a piece of styrene sheet into the resulting hole. Today I sanded it down flush and primed it. Putty will be applied tomorrow. Or maybe in April. I have found some promising tyres. A set of MPC cheater slicks which I forgot I had. I think a flip front might be required on this one.
JTalmage Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks guys. Its actually quite stout. The wood for the legs is old and worn smooth so hopefully no worries about splinters. As for the top, I took my DA w/ 80 grit paper and cleaned up the front curved edge and some of the side edges. Along with a once over on the top side to smooth it out a touch. May still do something with it. The smell of lumber hasnt got away yet LOL
Petetrucker07 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 That's a nice smell. I love the smell of fresh lumber.
Belugawrx Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Don't mean to harp on ya but these would add some life to your table Use a bit of white glue and screw them into the leg and down thru the top Easy Peezy Cheers
Jantrix Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Man, I knew things were going too well with my build. Nothing is wrong with the model, but my employer is sending me to Washington (state) for eight weeks. I just cannot catch a break.
JTalmage Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Wow. Nothing like being on the complete opposite end of the country!
Belugawrx Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Well at least you will get a lay of the land for the Big Race Take care see you in a bit Cheers
Lunajammer Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Does the cartoon sound effect sound like *Boeing* *Boeing* *Boeing*?
Petetrucker07 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 That's my problem being a truck driver. My bench time is very limited.
Erik Smith Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Man, I knew things were going too well with my build. Nothing is wrong with the model, but my employer is sending me to Washington (state) for eight weeks. I just cannot catch a break. What's wrong with Washington? Wrong time of year, but... If your going to be in the Seattle area and have time, Skyway Hobbies is a pretty cool little shop. We are actually having one of the warmest, driest January in a very long time.
Tom Geiger Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Nothing is wrong with the model, but my employer is sending me to Washington (state) for eight weeks. What were you convicted of? Eight weeks of hotel room nights sounds like some modeling time.
