Jantrix Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Sort of a mixture of flavors in this one. It's going to be a nice shiny hot rod, with some rat rod attitude. The body will the same color as the engine. I'll be using the clear hood from the AMT '37 kit. Edited March 21, 2021 by Jantrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I like the duel blowers. Man that's a looong wheelbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Definitely cool. Big fan of rat rod style but nicely finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I like the duel blowers. Man that's a looong wheelbase.Yep. Out of curiosity, I measured it at 142mm. It's on par with most of the big Duesey/Linc/Cady luxobarges of the era or a big extra cab pickup of today. I've added 30 inches total. I spotted a '37 coupe done this way somewhere online. I have no idea where, nor can I find it again. No idea if it was an art piece, a photo, or a model. But it sure got the idea firmly stuck in my noggin.

Jantrix Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Quite a lot done now. Body ready for paint soon. The seats are the rear bucket seats from a Revell 67 Charger. They are narrow enough that they fit very nicely in any old hot rod. Edited May 7, 2018 by Jantrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Lacy Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Usually later 30's cars don't lend themselves to being fender-less but this works pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks guys. Dennis, I quite agree. She needs a couple of specks sanded out and maybe another coat, so I'll have to give it a few days to gas out before I try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Tuttle Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Oh, cool, I did build a fenderless channeled 37 Chevy back in 2009, nice to see another one being built! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
