Just something I'm slapping together to let off some steam!! So far I've only got a couple of hours tied up in this and it won't be nothing flash.

Amt 1929 Woody/Pickup 4 'n 1 kit with a bunch of spare parts, '32 grill from Boyd Duece, Engine bin Nailhead IIRC it's from the AMT '40 Delivery? Rear tyres are '59 Caddy flipped for blackwalls and front are whoknowswhat! Rims from AMT '58 Chevy. Gunna splash some Testors One Coat revving red onto the wheels and motor. I also fitted a Revell '32 kit firewall for clearance in the bay.

How many projects do you guys have going all at once?
Your slap togethers are better than my full builds, nice start.

Ok Nailhead is gone and now she's Hemi-fied, I've fitted some Bryce pipes (Not correct for a Hemi but IDGAF).....and I made up a balsa bed floor. Also new are the rims from a '50 Ford F1 as they look nicer and fit better.

Cool - that Hemi's a tight fit in there, huh?

I got bit more done on this last night, air cleaners still need polishing and some filter paper and I'm leaving this motor unwired for simplicity. Rims still need paint detailing and I may add center caps or just trim rings,still lots to do.....

With my Gas#5 project no where near completion it's been pushed aside and this ones had a little attention.

It's going together with barely any fuss and doesn't have to many hours tied up in it, Front bumper is Monogram old tool '32 and front lights are kit items with clear lenses surprisingly considering this kit is ancient.

The dash has been converted to RHD (Conversions don't get easier than this LOL) and the gauge panel is revell '32 sedan along with a revell '29 mirror that's now black.
