Foghorn Leghorn Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) For anyone lucky enough to own this kit: Please give the part number marked on the underside of the hood. Note that this is request for the part number marked on the hood. Not the part number on the instruction sheet.

Dave G. Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I don't know but I'd like to build one of those. Is it 1/25 or 1/24 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's marked 1/24, but it looks OK alongside 1/25 models. I haven't measured it, but there's a possibility the scaling isn't entirely accurate, as the engine is close to the size of 1/25 Ford flatheads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I missed this one in my many model builds of the late 1950's and 1960's to early 70's.. Whatever the scale I like it. The internet isn't exactly flooded with these things I notice. But I'll keep my eyes open and check ebay now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haigwood Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 If we are talking about the louvered hood it is 98 or 86 depending on how you look at it. But there is a line under 98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) The number stamped into the non-louvred hood of my original kit is "86." On the parts list it's Part Number C86 ("C" meaning "Body Color Plastic," which is turquoise). Here's a scan of the parts layout. A previous owner added the hand-written notes.

Jon Haigwood Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 In the street rod version it is 98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabbysdaddy Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Mine's in a case which isn't the easiest to get in to, but it's very likely I sanded off the number anyways. Here it is next to a 1/25 Chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foghorn Leghorn Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Ah, now i see that i'm on the wrong track. The hood i have is molded in a grayish blue but unlike the Mono 1940 Ford PU hood, mine has half of a hinge device molded in/on to the trailing edge of the hood. Back to the drawing board. Thanks, Men! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchook Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi, it looks like it's part #98 on my original issue truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Good information! Especially the instruction sheet. Makes me wish I had an original issue. Lots of great parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
