Damn fool's trying to build a Surfite.

[DAVE "BIG DADDY" KAPP]

Took me hours to pick it out to build. Just like a trip to a hobby shop.

Remeber how I was kvetching about not liking finicky chrome? Glutton for punishment.

I mangled the body taking it off the tree so a bit of baking soda was used

Here is the steering column. It took all night to build and I left off one part!

Then looking at the instructions, it was supposed to have 4 metal axles (for each corner) but as usual something was amiss. And it was a sealed kit. Talk about roadblocks.

[KRAZY RICK]

Nothing like picking the most intricate kit, to test the nerves !!!

[DAVE "THE DUKE" ARMSTRONG]

Go for it Dave!

I'm trying to figure out what's next, myself-

[DAVE "BIG DADDY" KAPP]

Here is the chassis. I lost one of the lower A arms and was ready to give up. Or maybe even crack open my spare kit. But while I was out of town my wife found it. She had the good sense to put it aside for me. So now I have it built up to where I need the missing metal axles. I will keep forging ahead with this all weekend. I hope to somehow have a "roller" by Monday. I have also been working on the body and interior tub but i will save those pics for later.

looking nice there Dave

[KRAZY RICK]

Hmm .....Maybe I'll toss the kit & keep the Hut !!!! ;D

[DAVE "BIG DADDY" KAPP]

The roller as promised:

My compressor just died a premature death putting a halt in my progress.

those sixties revell are real fiddily but l think they are worth the trouble yours is starting to good keep at it Dave l would love to see the finished build

[KRAZY RICK]

If you just would've waited for me to announce the Challenge ...... You could have left a tire off & called it a Trike Dave ;D ;D ;D ;D
