Next on my bench…

This one is next in line for completion. I think I already started a build thread for this one on here, but I can't find it. I have done some heavy cutting to get the rear down, but I think it needs to go a bit lower yet…it’s not quite draggin’ that tail yet!

Go on, cut those tyres. You know you want to...

If only it were that easy - I'd chop them in a heartbeat...

Unfortunately the problem is more to do with the floor pan/chassis rails/diff/springs, etc.

look's cool so far

Wicked colour combo mate,will the interior be white.
Cheers Marshie

looks perfect to me Bryce, but then I like to be able to drive 'em.

Colour combo looks damn fine too, what's she got under the hood?

Thanks Marshie – interior will be mainly ivory with copper inserts/highlights and carpet.

Thanks Carps – I’d like to have those rear skirts parellel to the road if possible...will see how we go. The engine will be the kit Y-block with some chrome dress-up parts.

Thanks John – how the hell did you find that? I searched for half an hour the other day with no luck!

Thanks Chris – your wish is my command...

You're the master of low and cool!! Love the colours and stance.

It's so low at the back because it's carrying 250 gallons of Moonshine - but that's only my guess. Maybe there is another purely creative reason, but I like the bootlegger one best.

Nice job Bryce - the two tone colour scheme really suits this car.

another nice build Bryce it a nice paint job with a Ivory interior that going to be so sweet

well i agree with most of yas aand think the rear should be just of the ground by mere mms as for the rest of her sweet

Thanks guys. I think Sunday is going to be warm, so hopefully I will get out to the shed and get some paint on...

Sssshhhhhhhhh. You'll mozz it...

The weather was nice today, so I did a bit of painting on the interior. Bill was interested in my technique, so I took a few in progress photos.

First I started by painting the whole seat ivory. I was planning to mask it up and paint copper inserts. However, when I started trying to mask off the insert section, I realized that it would be almost impossible to trim around the ‘piping’ accurately, so I went the other way and painted the copper inserts first.

Next step is to apply masking tape and burnish down over the pattern so you can see where to cut. I use a bamboo skewer. Once I can see the shape of the insert, I take my scalpel and cut around to keep the insert masked:



This is what they should look like when ready to paint:



And here’s what they look like when you pull that tape off later:



Now I need to get the BMF out…

Lookin good Bryce

Very nice..................

Thanks for the demo,Bryce. The paint separation lines are super sharp. I just picked up a roll of the blue tape. Going to try it on the Henry J I'm working on. If it comes out good,I'll ask Joe(Clutch) to put up a pic or two,If I can get ahold of him. E-mail's not working right. Hey,if you see him,would you ask him to e-mail me? I'd appreciate it. I'm looking forward to seeing you do the dash and door panels too. Thanks again.Best,Bill

Thanks guys!

Not sure if you're familiar with Australian geography Bill, but Joe lives a LONG way from me. We Melbournites are right down the bottom of Aussie and those Queenslanders are way up the top, so it's pretty unlikely I'll see him any time soon!

But maybe he'll read this post...

Not likely mate, Joes computer crapped itself again and hes waiting for it to get fixed. Theres a chance though because he told me he's been using those internet Cafe's to get his AMCC fix.

Lets hope hes up and running sometime soon

Thanks,Guys. Bryce,I'll have to pull up a map on here. Will be interesting,seeing where y'all are. Keep cranking on that Ford. Best,Bill

If you haven’t mixed up your own flocking colours yet, you should try it. It’s real good fun and a lot less messy than paint. I made up this ‘copper’ colour using red, yellow and brown. I was real pleased with the results.






I also got a Y-block built using kits parts – it’s pretty boring, but I thought I’d show you anyways…

Nice work on the interior and motor.......................

Very nice.
