Erik Smith Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Here was a quick build to get me back in the spirit. Built as a 70's "what's-in-the-barn" hot rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Againmikewins Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I've got the itch to buy one now. Can someone explain why these kits are so expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Nice clean build. I like the engine choice, but what engine is it ? Most six cylinders that I'm familiar with have the intake/exhaust on the drivers side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Thanks much for the comments!Engine is from Moebius '70 Ford - my vision was two farm guys had a wrecked truck and a hot rod body with no engine - voila! 70's Hot Rod!Wheels and tires from Revell 32' sedan and firewall was scratch from flat styrene as I didn't provide quite enough clearance in my original engine layout for the kit supplied part to fit. Rest is from the box. Oh, and tire decals from Fireball Modelworks. Edited December 22, 2016 by Erik Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter31a Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Beautiful work on the 30 Ford Coupe. Love the 6 cyl in there. By decals I assume you mean on the tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Very nice hot rod! Looks so clean, and I like the six! My only nit-pick is that on models with exposed engines, I would add plug wires. Still a great build!Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
