MarkJ Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Maybe Elvin can give us some more information about his 55 Ford build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 That is awesome! Great patina, love the 6-banger. Was this modeled after a real Junior car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mredjr Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks to Mark J for posting this for me. I cut the top off the AMT 56 Ford raised it about 3/32 and made the c pillows used the grille out of the Jukebox 55 Ford and made the front pan to hold the bumper. The 6 cylinder is out of Moebius 69 Ford truck. I made the 4 barrel intake and distributor the grease rags on the breathers is a red party napkin. This is a model of a hobby car the Jr. Johnson ran at the New Ashville Speedway in 1965 when Ford boycotted NASCAR. Jr's Mechanic drove the car. The only picture I could find was a news paper picture of the car on a ramp truck. It is not a super detailed car but I enjoyed building it hope you enjoy.
