Hello, I promised Iron Mike I would do a WIP for this build a couple of months ago and now that the weather is decent (its finally under 90 degrees!) its time to get going. I bought this kit as a Blueprinter Special in the 90's and never got around to building it. About 5 years ago I traded it...

That's a nice looking rig! :thumbsup

Wow, that is really sharp. So much detail to take in. :thumbsup

Sweet, it's looking like a real race car! :thumbsup

Nice job! :thumbsup

Wow, those wheels look so realistic. So does the interior. Rock on man! :rockon

That is some nifty paint, and the painter guy did pretty darn good to! :thumbsup

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the support! :)

My First completed Campaign on MA! 1966 El Camino AWB Dragster.

Thanks for all the comments guys! This one is now complete at last. I finished off the decals and shot a clear coat to seal them up. The red portion of the decals were so thin and brittle that they were starting to flake off already, so there are a few spots that I had to repair. But that's...

Re: 1934 DUESENBERG "ALMOST FINISHED" Wow, that is a beauty! Well done Terry. :thumbsup

Thanks Mike and Dave. Dave, I did cut out about about a third of the bed so the wheel tubs from the Chevy II frame would fit. Hacking up plastic is fun. :laugh:

It's been awhile since I've posted any updates but I'm still working on this beast. I've struggled with the body work and paint, I didn't like how the rear wheel openings looked so reworked them several times, then didn't like the paint job. So after 3 tries I finally have the look I want. You'd...

Looks fantastic Mike! Definitely a classic Hot Rod, a real old school feel to it. The gold paint job looks amazing, it's good to,see you still know how to do the shiney stuff!

Oh yeah, I'm hungry now. I'll bring the beverages! :drinks

Man that is COOL. It has a real classic hot rod feel, I really like the plug wires and how you drilled out the distributor cap. :thumbsup

Very nice, I like your flocking method. I need to try that sometime. :thumbsup

Time for this weeks progress report. I added 1/4 pieces of spru to the frame to lengthen the wheel base to fit the El Camino. With that completed I can do a mock up and see if everything is going to line up. I'm liking the stance and think it sets about right. I also made a bed cover and wired...

Re: 1934 DUESENBERG "WET PAINT" Great color combo. :thumbsup Very classy looking.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I appreciate them. I've been working on the body this last week, I used sheet styrene to form the new wheel openings, then filled with putty and lots of sanding. Many layers of putty to get it smoothed out. Still a little more to do but getting close. I also had...
