1958 Edsel Gasser Working On The Details!??
Thanks guys! I think the seat is going to be part of my hot rod arsenal, it is well detailed and proportioned for 1/25 scale. I have a couple Ford roadsters to build, stay tuned for those.
Nope, no Cammer this go. I borrowed the Y block engine from the '57 Ford kit, it fits without modification and is kind of unusual at the same time. The headers came from the same kit, they are SWELL! Wish I had a few more sets. :drool
I've got a few more update photos to post, just not enough hours in the evening lately. :frantic
Thanks for coming by.

Thanks Warren! Where have you been ?
Last weekend, I made a little progress but didn't get to post the pictures until today. I had turned a fire extinguisher from scrap sprue earlier, so I added some paint and details to it.
Handle was made from scrap PE fret and soldered. The nozzle is brass pipe.
Got a couple more parts to add to it, then decals and the hold down bracket.
One of the cool things about building cars is you can find all sorts of fun details. I knew I wanted to add wheelie bars to my Edsel and found a bitchin' set to copy.
I broke out the 1/16" and .025 brass rods, scrap PE frets and the soldering iron!
I'm not the most proficient solderer, but managed to get this ginned up on a Sunday afternoon.
Still need to add the triangulating arms, but won't do that until closer to final assembly. I plan to make my own casters for the wheelie bars, we'll leave that for another day.
hyeah
Only five more weeks before the Southeast Gassers run at Shadyside again! :frantic
Thanks for coming by, more to come!

The sheer amount / level of detail work going in to this project is breathtaking ! - Here's a little 'inspiration' to help you on your way, Mike:
Just finished by one of the guys on a Facebook page that I'm a member of (NZ Model Petrolheads) - great minds thinking alike and all that. Looking forward to seeing this unfold.

That's a gas man... :coolio
Love the wheelie bars, the original looks like they are made out of jack stands or something.

Thanks, guys! Having a back up kit makes one brave! Right, Pup?
The Hakko does rock, although I had a little help from Mr Mini Torch on the heavy stuff. :evil:
Is it Saturday yet? Oh wait, I have to work this Saturday. :pinch:
Holding out for Sunday. :frantic

Still slicing and dicing on the Edsel, working on more of the small stuff. How about an Optima battery?
Using stryene rod and sheet, I made one.
I used my straightedge and a putty spreader to keep things lined up while gluing.
Sending a master copy to Rhino for TLAR to add to the offering.
More to come, thanks for coming by.
