Kit Karson Posted July 25, 2017 Author Posted July 25, 2017 This model is reaching epic status, Brother! It will, no doubt, be one of the best '34 3-Windows ever built in scale. Maybe not the best ever, best for this ol' country boy... -KK
Kit Karson Posted July 28, 2017 Author Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Today's Koncern!?. '33 Coupe Hood Fit. Body checks out so the gap at the back of the hood at the cowl maybe caused by the frame. We'll see... -KK Edited July 28, 2017 by Kit Karson
Dennis Lacy Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 I think that hood top needs a few rows of louvers added. Making more work for you. You're welcome! 1
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 HA! Good one ADL...now this thing will never get finished!!!! -RRR 1

Kit Karson Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 Well Kids, this has been my weekend mornings to be at the bench... The plan was to mount the rear cross member. Easy, right? Took it down to the bones and put it back together with white glue...
Kit Karson Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Looking to establish the center of the tire in the wheel well opening... and, ride height out back. Now, mount the rear cross member. Install the QC, Axle Housings and Model A Rear Spring. And, up on the rear wheels and tires... -KK 2
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Perfect. As we talked about, you do need to re-arch those rear wheel wells. Keep on plugging away at it. You might get this done by the end of the century at this rate!!! -RRR Edited October 16, 2017 by Rocking Rodney Rat 1

You might get this done by the end of the century at this rate!!! -RRR Just because you think the top is flat? Maybe this could make a land speed record on the salt, but it's not turning out to be a speed build record, is it? Then again, what have I ever built that didn't take forever to build? -KK 1
Kit Karson Posted October 20, 2017 Author Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) So, I'm putting the front axle together with white glue... -KK Edited October 20, 2017 by Kit Karson 2
OldNYJim Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 This whole build is a masterclass in building a 30s Ford hot rod. Brilliant! 1

Foxer Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Where have I been on this thread ???Here now and fascinated with your exquisite work! 1
Kit Karson Posted October 24, 2017 Author Posted October 24, 2017 Thanks, Guys! Having this up on all fours is a big accomplishment! I appreciate all of your support!! 2
Kit Karson Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 Let's see who's paying attention... Shaping Plastic is just a cut away. Keep your eyes on the cut lines and notice the improved area of gluing surface gained just by cutting sideways instead of just saving the upper edge of the apron and filling it back in to smooth out the bubble flair on the stock apron. 1
Kit Karson Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 Now, just a small filler piece... a bit of sanding... 2
Joca Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 This is awesome. Small details, big changes...!!! 1
Dennis Lacy Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Wow. Just, wow. The lines and flow of the body work with the new front aprons is just, ....Wow! To quote one of my favorite customers, "This makes my sticker peck up!" 1
