"One Way Ride" updated

[robert1]

I really like your take on the changes you are making on this kit!!! I have the same model that is missing a few minor parts parts. Maybe.......I can re-purpose it.

Thank you robert. Get it out, and start plotting on it.... ;D ;D ;D. It would be cool to see just how many ways this kit could be built, cause as the paddy wagon, it is so-so LOL. I still have another new one to build box stock for my shelf. LOL.

Here are the updates to get you up to speed. I made a sliding tray to pull the coffin out on, i put a ford rear under it, and lowered the rear suspension, built my driveshaft, had to re-work the rear steps, due to the leaf springs. I used a parts box cross member, and i cut it down to size. I done a mock up assembly to give you an idea of how it will set.





























Thank you,
Virgil

The slide out looks great and I think the stance is much better now!!

[virgil]

Not much of an update, but i got my headers figured out, built, and painted. I hope you like them.













I am still deciding if i want to add something to the outlets of the headers to make them look more cool. Thanks for following along on the build.

Wow Virgil! This project has really taken off. The slide out as well as all your other innovative features is asstounding

[virgil]

Thank you dogfish!! Lets see what you think of it now.

It doesnt look like i have made a lot of progress, but i have about 12-14 hrs in getting it to where it is at now, with the painting, carpeting, and detailing. The carpet i got in a trade with moggy. It is fairly easy to work with. I like working with it better than flocking, however in some situations, it might be considered out-of-scale. But for this project, it works perfectly. I used gold BMF for the dash, and firewall. I used detail master gauges. I made windows from some plastic i bought off of ebay. The paint on the motor, rear diff, and the brake drums is 1993-1999 Ford "Mocha Frost" automotive acrylic enamel. Since i have made a lot of progress, i am better than 1/2 way done with this build. I have part of the sliding casket tray painted, i will get the rest of it painted today. Take a look and see what you think so far.



































I hope you like what i have done to it so far.

Thank you,
Virgil

I have some update pics for you. Now you will know what i have been up to for the last 2 days. I could describe everything i have done, but i believe it is mostly self explanatory. If you have any questions about this build, please feel free to ask. Thank you. As you will see, i changed my mind on the wheels again ......for the 3rd time..... ;D ;D































I hope you like it.....

Thank you,

I was a building fool yesterday...LOL. I am going to throw some " teaser" pics out to you. It is further along than the pics, but i am needing the decal sheet from the paddy wagon to help get this thing finished. I also have to get some decal lettering in gold. I was going through some parts and found a set of wheels i had forgotten about, so i finally have the wheels that are "perfect" on it, but you will have to wait for update pics to see them....tee hee!!! Here it is, let me know what you think of it.









I hope you like it so far.
