1934 Ford Cabriolet - Early 50's SoCal Hot Rod

Thank you, everyone, for your generous comments and compliments. I'm very pleased with how this car turned out. Definitely my favorite, and possibly my best workmanship-wise. I have seen a couple examples of this kit built into cool traditional hot rods over the years so I knew it was possible. I've had the general idea in my head for quite a while, just had to wait for the right time to where my abilities would give me half a chance at doing the project some justice. It came together surprisingly fast too. Under a month start to finish. I must have been in "The Zone."

Thanks, again!

:)

It's interesting to me that, on another thread discussing which models Revell might think about bringing out next, when the subject of an accurate '34 Ford was brought up, several guys were of the opinion that its appeal would be limited, and that these "old cars" were somehow past-it, and only of interest to "graybeards".

What makes THAT interesting is the very strong positive response this model of Dennis' has on the forum. Obviously, well-built models of hot-rod icons still have quite a broad appeal.

Somehow, I thought so.

I feel that if Revell were to create an accurate 1933 or 1934 3-Window kit along the same lines as their 1932 3-Window kit that it would be a huge success. What makes the '32 so good is that it is a solid middle ground that looks good built out of the box and can also be easily backdated into a traditional hot rod or into a very modern street rod. And, like the '32 kits, a whole bunch of future '33 or '34 variations would be possible. I'd pee down my leg over a good '34 Roadster kit!

At this point there has yet to be a truly good '33 or '34 kit so it's easy to understand some peoples apprehension but if that were to change, so would a lot of peoples attitudes.
