Sectioned '62 Studebaker?

[Plowboy]

TRaKable or not? I'm not sure on this model. It was a test mule that I built in a day which was a first for me.

Nothing about this isn't TRaKable. The year of the car, the tires and wheels, and the customizing strategy are all irrefutably pre-1969. The idea itself is original and creative and, IMHO, to be encouraged. The only things I would change (and they are really minor, I would emphasize)are the tail dragging stance (not appropriate for the body style. wheels/tires, and era) and the heavy windshield surround. If this what you'll be treating us to during your 1:1 "sabbatical", bring 'em on!

This is cool! Has an early-lowrider look to it.
You built a sectioned model car in a day???

Man, I must be doing something wrong, even a roof chop takes me, like, weeks!

Bernard, I think the level of the photo and the shape of the rear quarters makes it appear to have a tail dragger stance. It actually sets level. The reason I left the windshield at the stock height is because of the heavy section and the channeled frame. There was no room left for a chopped windshield.

Chris, I cheated on this model and proved a theory I had about sectioning a model. All of the height was taken out of the bottom. To be done right, the wheel well openings should be raised some. But, I left them as is for another idea I had.

I REALLY LIKE that! It does look like it is down in back..if it could look like it was "level"..Id LOVE it! VERY cool!

There's no way to make this model look level. It's the shape of the quarter panels that gives it the tail down appearance. In this photo, I leveled it on a grid and actually made the rear a touch higher.

SECTIONED? HOW SO?
