getting the trailer suspension finished....


also suspension on the truck.....


and getting work done on the hinges for the doors, I always wait to the very last minute to do this task as it can be frustrating to get them to work right. But in order to get the interior finished I have to get the hinges done and working right to be able to get the door panels attached.....

going to add some button tufted upholstery to this build, been trying to fine tune my take on this technique and have been itching to add it to a build this is the one.....

getting the firewall ready for the hood hinge...

 

[modelsinc1967]

Did a mock up with the firewall with the cavities for the hood hinge, first time for me making a hood hinge this indepth....

 

[modelsinc1967]

well had a little set back on this build and will have to rebuild the walls of the truck around the firewall. I tried every possible shape for the hinges but could not get the hood to open on the hinges with out having to pull the hood up as you open it so i gave up. I will either use this double jointed hinge or no hinge at all. :-\

ok enough of the hood hinge now to get back to work on track, I like to model the engine with actual pulleys and tape for the belt but ran out of machined pulleys so i decided to try my hand at scratch building and think these pulleys came out pretty good.
Only have my cell phone camera and hard to get a good shot of them but here goes.

Ill try to get a better pic tomorrow in the sun light.

 

[modelsinc1967]

got a better pic outside (almost a little too bright now) and the start to my real chain steering wheel this is the start of it then to add the bars......

 

[modelsinc1967]

Nothing really to update on the truck itself however did do some work on statues for the loot....

Thanks guys, its my hobby night all night so hope to have some kind of an update by morning.........

I decided I had to come up with a plan for the 1932 interior, I went from resin to foam with button tufted patterns to this made out of the urethane foam....It made for a wide interior so would be going with a single seat and a center mounted steering wheel. The more I look at it the more that I am not sure if it will stay this way but better than what I had before which was nothing....


rough formed the foam to fit the body...

got it shaped closer to the finished shape.

decided the seat back needed more detail...
