bluestringer Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I built one of these a couple months ago but my grandson saw it and wanted it for his shelf. The first was OOB build, this one I'll do a little different. I have lowered it a little and like where it's at, but I think I can get it down a little more. I've got the Hemi engine from the 32 5 window kit I want to put in it if I can find some heads for it. Seemed to have misplaced the ones in the kit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Back on this one. Stealing some of Dennis Lacy's ideas from his build, I'm using the front and rear suspensions from the 32 5 window coupe. I'll need to fabricate a driveshaft. Also using the tires and wheels from that kit. After some modifications I got it down about as low as I can get it. Looks ok to me. I also want to use the hemi engine out of the 5 window kit if I can make it fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 I'm ready to paint. Using Tamiya x-13 metallic blue for body parts. Could not get a good photo of it. It actually looks better in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Got the Hemi tucked in there. Now to find some headers and get a exhaust system on it. Then I'll get started on the interior, not sure what color I want for it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestringer Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 Been too cold the last few days to spend much time in my work shed. Don't have much heat out there. Not getting much interest in this build anyway, I'll probably not update anymore on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
