This month is going to be a big build, lots of work to be done, and still only 31 days to do it!! I have gone with the Hotwheels 32 Ford "MILD MILL".. My donor kit is one i chose from Icemans prize pool some time ago, knowing what i wanted it for, as the Hotwheels build idea was mine, so i think i need to rise to the occasion.   Now, to work out how i'm going to do this... RIGHT.. |

Cheers guys, the knives and saws are all sharp, the superglue is at the ready, now to get started.. What needs to be cut. Also, i need to lengthen the front fenders to match the subject, fount these in the stash from an early 30's Mercedes or Rolls.

Already beginning to look like the Hot Wheels! Even more so now Allan.....  Thanks for the enthusiasm guys, now it's way to late to turn back and be able to salvage anything, all that tape has served its purpose, and given me the vision of where to CUT IT UP... !!!! evil5    A bit of clean up and sanding, and it will be ready to move onto the chassis work. |

Thanks for the interest boys.. Much appreciated i must say.. Well, after stripping the paint off the Fuel chassis, i did some cutting, and came up with this, i think it's going to work. With the engine and wheels mocked up..    |

I knew with that fabulous collection you have there was no way yu wouldn't be deep into this one. Hell of a subject and it looks like you have your work cut out for you, but it will probably be a piece of cake for you. Can't wait to see the engine.

Cheers Dennis and John,........ Dennis, not as easy as i hoped, but very satisfying each time i work something else out.. and yes, i was really hanging out for this build.. Got a start on the engine, and had to build some front and rear engine plate to hold the beast in position.   AND THE BEAST !!   |
