Very cool. I have a deuce that started out very much like your original one did, and I've reworked it to retro it out also. No pics though. that frame is killer!

Hi there, I used the basic measurements from the kit frame for my drawing.After that I made the Z sections. I milled it out on my machine. I´ll take the measurements tomorrow and make a picture of the drawing. And thank you all for the compliments. Cheers,Chris

Hi, Bob,I bought the machine last year and started to do some things for my modeltrucks like framerails and an flatbed...want to do a lot of more things and I´ve done that rodframe for a friend of mine,too so why not make parts for others,too.That´s one of the reasons why I bought that machine....to make individual new things in modelbuilding.I have still to learn a lot on that machine but it´s going on.
Cheers,Chris

Hi there, Thanks for the nice comments.The machine costs about 3000,- EURO with some software etc.....I made some things for trucks,the frames are a new thing,the ones on my 32 and 29 are just prototypes and I just changed some things on them...I let you know when the development is finished So let´s go back to the 32. I made some more work on the frame and engine.I use an 49 AMT Mercury engine and added an frontpanel from an maybe 37 Ford engine.Added some engine mounts to the frame and new scratchbuild shocks to the frontaxle.Sanded the body a little bit and have to sand it some more for the desired look.After that a friend told me to try some preshading to the body to make the paint look more faded.Painted the rims semigloss black and added the hubcaps. Thanks for looking, Cheers,Chris
