I got a lil bored sanding and filling and sanding, sanding .... on the body. So I assembled the chassis.

It is pretty much as it comes in the kit with the exception of light mods to lower the suspension. Removed some chassis in the rear and mounted the center chunk on top the cross member. Also added some blocks under the front cross member. I also scratch built the front coil overs. I didn't intend to from the start, but after breaking one of the plastic coil overs off the cross member I decided to give it a shot. Pretty happy with the results. The brakes are Pegasus.

I also assembled part of the engine. It still needs wires and hoses etc. I will also scratch build the exhaust , I don’t like the stock ones.

I decided on the colors for the car, two-tone. The light color is Dupli-Color Champagne and the dark is Dupli-Color Black Cherry. I need to work on my painting skills a lil. The colors were sprayed over black primer, I should have used gray primer, I expected the Champagne to be lighter.

Thanks for looking ...











Till Next ...

Great combination. Very classic and sleek looking. The chassis alone looks menacing. This is going to be a show stopper.

Very Sweet. Hows that grill coming along? If I can get an idea of how to build mine I might actually finish my '37.

I havn't got to that point yet. I do know how I will do it. I want to get all the heavy sanding done before I build the grill as it will be part of the body and delicate. Since I decided to make the hood one piece (top and sides ) it would be impossable to lift the hood off pass the grill. So I will build the grill onto the body then have the top 1/2 attatched to the hood and bottom to the fenders. I'll definetly show the progress on it.


Thanks all for the comments, here's a pic of the coilover



I used styrene rod, some craft wire from wallyworld for the spring and the shaft is a loop antena from an old wireless security door transmiter .

That is one kick ass coilover.

Hey,

Dam! That chassis looks and suspension looks really nice so far. Do you think the pe grille set might help any? Keep up the awsome work.

I didn't know there was a PE set for it. I did a search a while back but couldn't find one. I also figured the amount of modifying I would have to do to the PE set to make it fit the car, I may as well save the $ and build one from styrene rod.

It may work for Mike if the original grill profile is the same. Mine, the vertical profile is quite different.

Thanks for the thought

I've got the same grill dilema. Mines more sleek, and slicked back so the stock grill just looks ugly.
