Very cool video....got some 33-34 coupe kits in the stash...love to do a drag coupe ala 554 Mooneyham/Sharp.
Subscribed for this one.....lookin good.

For a giggle...check this 1/4 scale model:

The only thing not scratch built is the front tires.
Build time was 9 years.

Almost as long as my typical build,....LOL.

What a work of art!

SMALL UPDATE!

At Ed's and others suggestion I decided to ditch the heavy steel wheels and put together a set of lite weight mags. The front tires (same as before) and Halibrand rear wheels are from AMT's "Drag Wheels & Tires" parts pack, front 12-spokes from AMT's '32 Vicky and a different set of AMT's parts pack slicks with the bitchin red stripe through the white.

I'm going to have to thin the inner rim as the wheels are a bit wide being intended to fit the typical AMT Firestone biasply tires but I have a plan for that. I also still have to drill the mounting holes in the wheels larger to fit over the pins in the axles so for now all I could do is slap together a really half-ass mock up. I hope to spend some quality time with this project in the near future.

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: it has been a bit slow, but i come everyday. i am so close to being able to build and hope that things pick up again i miss this place! Nov 9, 2024 22:04:22 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: I paid up three more years on fotki, it's been 20yrs already! Nov 11, 2024 23:16:53 GMT -5

Mr. Metallic: it's been about that long for me too Bob Nov 15, 2024 7:55:05 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

Nov 17, 2024 17:50:56 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: just want to wish everyone a happy safe holiday season! it's among us Nov 22, 2024 22:57:44 GMT -5

EchoBravoSierra: Everything on FB is ephemeral. I'm sure it still exists, but finding it is near impossible if it was posted in a group. I had an idea bumping around in my head and realized it was because of someone's build here, and I found the thread to re-read through Nov 27, 2024 12:31:14 GMT -5

EchoBravoSierra: Good luck finding anything more than a few days old on a FB group. Nov 27, 2024 12:31:44 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: I swear, I prefer this forum over facebook. I can't change everyone's mind, but this is where it's at honestly. Quick fix facebook likes doesn't compare Dec 1, 2024 0:48:24 GMT -5

Mr409: Yep, if these forums would die, then I guess I'd continue modeling by myself, not posting anything anywhere. Personally I have zero desire to go to Facebook or some other similar platforms. Dec 1, 2024 14:25:48 GMT -5
