Model car Sunday 5/26/13

Here are a few projects that I have been slowing working on. Up first is a 32 ford Coupe I am trying to build like the one in the picture. My second project is a 32 Ford roadster I am restoring back to its former glory. And my last project is a weird kustom creation built by Spoggie where on the Hamb that I got from him.

 

Converting the AMT'51 Chevy to an oLDS fastback.

 

Anybody else building stuff?

 

This is a R & R body ole ray parsons said was a drop in fit for AMT's and Linburgs 1934 Ford truck, NOT !

Yes, it may be a 1936 Ford truck, that's about it . I had to scratch build a frame and damn near everthing else that that body required . I was able to raid wheels from AMT's 36 Ford and the engine . Everything else , I built myself . Now that ray is gone I see all the people who hated him all going Gaa Gaa over him.............. I wonder if anyone will miss me when I'm gone , NOT !

Not really a model , but in honor of Indy .....

 

Orange 51 Chevy I'm working on and an freshened up 55 Chevy

 

Here's some more from NNL EAST, from back in April,,,,,,,,,,

 

I have a question for you model car masters! Have any of you chopped the roof on a plasic model? I'm planning on chopping a 32 5W kit. Is there a special tool to use?

 

^! cute!

Chop top= hacksaw, staggered cuts & cyanocrylate and GOOD FUME VENTILATION. I like a piece of wire in the A pillar too.

Matt (op); Looking forward to seeing what you create.

 

thanks Lyle, the Bad Habit and Pacific Princess Fiats are mine, nice to see them here.

 

Nice job...Where did you get the front wheels?

 

Thanks Lyle for posting those.Looks like a great show.That green rail is killer!

 

You could use it for the dimensions; measure everything and multiply by 3.48 to get 1/25th (or 3.625 to get 1/24th).

 

I wish they did it in 1/64 scale!

 

there's a world of information here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=517&st=0&p=100252&#entry100252

join up and get going!

 

Looks good I wish I had time to finish some.

 

The Olds engine sure is nice!

 

They are from Compe***ion Resins

 

Its in 1/87 scale. Lots of people use 1/87 scale building for 1/64th scale cars.

 

I'm building the kit now and the 1/64 cars look HUGE. I'd like to see someone put out an HO set of Graffitti cars. The HO '32 fords are so small to build and customize.

 

56KUSTOM.......Dude thats all im building now is HO scale cars. Im already getting one of them mels diners, and going to build the 32 55 and 58 and the T-brid to be set all in a lil dio.

If you need me to build you that 32 LMK I'll do it for you.

 

A little late but here's a 1/87 scale junkyard I started years ago. Will I ever finish it

 

Love it man. Thats great lookin.

 

It's always Sunday when you're retired and I just finished this.

 

Thanks, my buddy Tony is working on a '32 for me. I'd love to see pics of your work!

 

Wow, lots of great builds this week!
