Awesome find! I'm fairly sure I could drive it if you did it like the Revell box though I don't think it would last on the streets of Atlanta. You gotta watch out for those 2 foot potholes.
what a cool project dude! having tom's blessings on building a 1:1 "model" rocks! anyone who built models in the 60's or went to a car show wishes it was his. wow if i were closer i would love to be in on this build, got a spare room?
nobody did as far as I know.........Im so pumped about this,has anyboy ever seen the speedway stainless tube axle set-up??..........
Anyone remember that thing that mattel made called the vacuform that heated peices of plastic and then you folded it over to the side that had the item to be molded and then you pushed the vaccume lever it pulled the heated plastic down around it. Its to bad you dont have a extra big one you could make a mold and sell the molds to finance your own project. LOL
Is it anything to do with anything but I see the L.il Coffin is being redone; another classic show rod/kit.
its started...just slow & Im gathering parts,then again its a bad time to be sellin houses for a living...........
Any news on this project? This was one of thye most exciting prospects that came out of 2008. I'd love to know how it's progressing.
Right on!! Why be like everybody else!! It's like going to a show and someone asks you if you saw the red 34 coupe--- Which one?????
hey meatball wake up people knockin at your door and wanted to know whats up with pie wagon!!!!!!!!!!!
OK OK OK...well Ivegot the parts except the motor and that is sittin in the wings, its going to be a flatty w.c-4 trans into a 10bolt w/quick change cover.even have the orig 1910 style rear lantern with the side lens,Im hopein to hook up wifriend that has just moved into a new home/shop and have him do the weird ass cut & angle needed on the front of the frame and set up that so I can mount other things....gotta admit is has been a little slow as I was selling houses for the last 7 years and you can guess where that ENDED three months ago so Im lookin for a new gig.however it will be a roller very soon and then its cake from there,however Im not lookin forward to pUtin doors in the body (suicide).....I hope to post photos soon,Oh I have spent the last couple of months redoing my shop so its livable in the summer and makes me want to spend more time there.....again photos soon......ONWARD THRU THE FOG!
I'm jealous. That car is the the insides of my brains! Love it. They sell square and diamond shaped motorcyle headlights on ebay.
FYI Im buikdin to to be DRIVEABLE showrod or not its gotta be a runner driver ....like Ive said before havin a hotrod ya cant drive is like livin with Pam Anderson and makin her sleep in the other room............
dude thats the shit! love the way ya updated it.....my body is taken from the 1968 boxart however Ive got two sets of wheels & tires the "daileys will be 10 & 7 tru-spokes with goodyears L60s on the rear.....plus for show Im settin up welds wires (15x15) including.indy500 rain tires for the rear,Im settin it lower than yourd in back cause ya cant se outa the damn thing if you dont..fyi to make those cowl lamps I using cooking sauce pans ....its a bitch tryin to build something tha was to just be a toy but it will happen kinda soon I hope
yeah there are and Mr. Daniels ripped me on another site I here not long ago about it being completely wrong so I was told however when its sittin at the correct angle it looks VERY much as it should cconsidering this is not a production body, however it is very damn close and I gotta work with what I have like I said this body was designed off the 1968 boxart
1968 boxart.the orig design was not a stinkbug ass in the air bend the body at the motor design...now consider the body is sittin very high in the front on jackstands
some...Metalshapes did a killer job makin the frame fit inside the body,and we have most of that steup motormounts and c4are in it and fits right under the hood,things have slowed since I lost my job selling houses,but things will roll again soon..........
