Rocking Rodney Rat Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Howdy folks, it's RRR, I haven't been doing much building as of late, I have been lurking here from time to time. I finally got my cataract surgery done in March, quite a process. Now that I have my new eyes settled in, I'm back at the bench. The fabled 33/36 coupe is a long term project KK and I started about five (!) years ago. We took the AMT '33 Ford five window coupe body and grafted a cut down greenhouse from the AMT '36 three window coupe. Many other mods ensued not least of which is a tuck in the rear trunk area to reshape the back end. Power comes from a blown Y-Block. Paint is Tamiya black with an overcoat of semi-gloss clear. The accent color is Tamiya Intermediate Blue (military color). Lots of buildup pix here: https://public.fotki.com/jferren/3336/ Thanks for looking -RRR (&KK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Wow! Stance, colours, gloss, all are in harmony. Bravo! The roof choice is striking, the more rounded rear even more pleasing than the usual 33/34. And the "packaging" in the engine compartment is impressive. World-class design and execution. For a guy who had eye problems, this creation sure shows your eyeballs are at the top of the game! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Looks like perfect workmanship to me! I like the back tires, that's what they used in the day; what are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The finished product looks so good that it makes it look like everything fits like it was made to - checking the build photos shows it is far from it. lots of work well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The tucked-in tail is very effective, fixes the awkwardness of a stock '34...very cool engineering here Did you dullcote the tires? They look very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Thanks for all of the compliments. Rear tires are from the Revell Model A series (that we may see again???). I sanded them with 2000 grit paper to knock the sheen off of them. -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I like how you made it into a three window, looks very natural. Great engine choice, you don't get to see a blown Y block very often if not ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
