The Roller doesn't really need much to finish it off.

The rat rod needs a tad more work to complete it..
Posted Image

Posted Image

The '32 is 90% completed,so doesn't need too much.
Can you tell what the roof is off?
Posted Image

Posted Image

Or the '57,it still needs lots of work but I actually would like to see it finished...
Posted Image

Posted Image

I will leave it up to you guys to decide which one I finish.

is the '57 Chevy a "Christine"?

If so, you can never do your usual 'wreck-a-car' build - you would come down in the morning and would be all fixed up :woo: :lol:

OK to give you an idea of where I am with the 57 here are a few pics.
Posted Image

It is sitting on Jaguar XJ220 wheels and tyres.
Posted Image

Posted Image

To make these bad boys fit a 1957 car meant cutting the rear end away and making a new chassis and wheel wells ect..
Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

While the engine sort of fell out of the Jag and jumped into the Chevy...
:rolleyes:
Posted Image

That's pretty much where it's at right now,will see if I can do some shortly.

Got a little bit done tonight,the big nasty mold lines on the front wing tops have been wet sanded down and look a lot better.
It's only a small step,but still a step closer. :D

Been busy today,I got the body ready for paint.This involved filling a sink hole in one rear fin,a big sink mark running up the front of a door.Sanding the doors so they would have a gap all round once paint was on and doing the same for the bootlid.Then the front and rear window rubber edges were scribed to give me a clean line for foiling later on..

Then it was primer time,followed by a generic silver on all the panels.
Posted Image

Then it was out with the cheapo Humbrol airbrush (perfect for car shells.. :D ) and on went six coats of Zero paints Plum Crazy and four coats of Ford clear lacquer.
Posted Image

The wheels are Plum Crazy too,I ran out of lacquer so the rear wheels still need doing! After taking a brave pill I intend to foil the rims...
Posted Image

Posted Image

Just realised I missed a piccy,so will pop it in later on.

Got a few colours onto the engine today.

Then I started foiling it,it will take a while as there are about 20 parts to be foiled...
Posted Image

Quite pleased with the windscreen frame though.
