34 Chevy coupe #3
I keep giving away my hot rods so lets try it one more time.
I hid the big motor on the last one so thought I would leave the hood off this time to let it be seen, will also be putting the fenders on it, adds a ton a work but really makes for one sweet looking ride.
Lowered the roof about a half inch and lowered the body to where the frame is covered, there’s a name for it but ain’t coming to me right now.
These are Toys and Joys plans and one from way back when they weren’t putting frames on their models which make for a great first time build, you don’t have to worry about the frame not lining up or other problem that can get a new builder in trouble.
That being said I had to cut out for the motor.
Already have a motor for it, so we’ll see how that works.
Had to get the inners made and finished so I could close it all up.

Worked on the radiator and front fenders.
Added a smaller bearing to my flush cuter bit.
Adds just enough lip to get er done.
Then on to the front fenders.

This fir sure make sanding quick but the dings it gets are a pain!
Going to have some really wide tires on the back so needed to cut some more out.
These quality hole saws make quick,clean work of it with very little sanding a big plus in my book..
Then need to figure how the radiator will fit in, really took my time with this as any part of it buggered up would mean tons a redoes. [
I just build for the fun of it so don't sell them, For me once you add money into the mix the fun or joy of building goes way down for me.
I have been known to give them to those that have helped me in some way, but more for the joy it gives than anything.
It’s coming together now. #4 over and out.An Index Of My Model making Blogs on Lumber Jocks.

yep I can relate to making for fun and giving finished product away I do the same not to every ones liking but if they want to make a living from product I think it takes the fun out of it unless its for business of course.

Just about there.
Played with some wheels and had forgotten but all ready had some rims made up, thank you very much for small favors.
Just a quick simple set a tires fill in between the wheel wells with a toe board and some touch up sanding.
Still want to make some head lights and we’re just about there.
Using left over scrap fir for the wheels makes it all match up but couldn’t try for a very fancy wheel tread the wood is way to soft.
