Brandon Miller Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Just started following this build. It is absolutely insane.
djflyer Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Looking forward to seeing more updates on this crazy cuztom build. You are the 25th scale George Barris - and I mean that in a good way. Some wild ideas, some subtle ones added in and some great build techniques. Did you every find where that dash came from? It would suit a project I just got the body for. 1
Impalow Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Remember this thing? to be honest I completely forgot about it.. However I booked my room for NNL East, and I want to take something... I went into my workshop to take inventory and look for a model I can have completed by April and this one jumped out at me. So here we go! NNL East of Bust! There were a few things that I was stumped on back in 2018 that caused this to get set on the WIP shelf of doom, so first things first lets get those out of the way. taillights bike ramp hood So first up were the taillights, I grabbed some parts box bezels and then altered the body line with some thick styrene. I'm going to use some epoxy putty to mold all this together. This helps make those cruiser skirts look less foreign and gives me a nice flat surface to do some 1956 ford inspired copper trim! 5
oldrevellfan Posted February 14 Posted February 14 not sure of the choice for tail lamp but I could be wrong but Ilove the idea 1
Chuckyg1 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 God, I remember this! I was, (and still am.), amazed by what you planned and the the execution. This'll be awesome when completed. 1
Belugawrx Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Hey, there it is.. Been awhile Eric..good to see the Bronco back ! 1
NOBLNG Posted February 15 Posted February 15 (edited) Awesome! Love your thought process.😎 That frame and suspension work is insane! Edited February 15 by NOBLNG 2
Impalow Posted February 27 Author Posted February 27 (edited) Progress! Hood reworked/shortened, scratchbuilt cowl vent, frenched side pipes, firewall detail added, bulkhead constructed, and epoxy putty applied and smoothed… I think I just need to work on a reversed hood hinge and scribe some door lines and its time for some primer!

Impalow Posted Monday at 02:43 PM Author Posted Monday at 02:43 PM A little more progress... primed, hinged , lots of little detail added... some more filler and cleanup to do, hoping to display on the "in progress" table this Saturday in Columbus Ohio for the Buckeye Classic! 2
Belugawrx Posted Monday at 02:57 PM Posted Monday at 02:57 PM At this rate you should have it in paint and polished, nevermind a WIP...lol Just some stellar scratching here Eric !
