'32 5 Window 3scale inch chop

This started out about a year ago as part of a small group build. I am back on it now and thought I would post my progress up here.








Worked on the frame today.

Fabulous chop Curt boy!

Really liking the detailing Curt.

Cheers guys.

The 'chrome' step is done on the frame, next will be a heavy black wash.

Interesting!

Thanks Mike

I am going with a fantasy motor. It started as a 440 Mopar. I am going to mod the tunnel ram so the intake runners are not the siamese style, going for a Ford style. I think I am going to use BBC valve covers and tweak them a bit. Using Ford FE headers from a Gibson resin motor. The last pic is the style of tunnel ram I want to replicate.

That frame looks fantastic Curt!

Nice clean chop !!
Like the intake.
Really kinda wondering what you had to cannibalize to get all of those gears. I like that idea on the frame! Going hi-boy, I take it?
Cheers,
Clay


Thanks Clay,

I got the gears from evil bay. Old watch parts.

Where did you find the headers Curt?

Shay, I got the headers from a Gibson Resin Engine. Read man.

The heavy wash is complete. I still need to finish painting the frame.

Clay: Hobby Lobby here in Utah has bags of watch parts in the bead section. You might want to take a look there.

Really unique Curt. I'm filing that under "steal that idea one of these days."

Cool! Loving the mods and customization, the frame is developing just beautifully.

Lovely work Curt, this is going to be a stormer.

Cheers guys for looking in on the progress and for the kind words.

Stance/mock up shot. I will be changing the front wheels for sure perhaps the rear as well.

Lookin' good, Curt.

The stance is great, its coming together beautifully.

Thanks Kats.

Worked building up the windshield frame and making it into a split window. Also messing around with wheel ideas and carriage on with the gear theme.

Wow that's looking amazing.
