Supernurd Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 What do you do when you have a worn out Model A and your father's wrecked 37 Chevy? Pull the stovebolt out of the Chevy and shoehorn it into the Ford of course! At least that's what Johnny Wholeschott did back in '47 . All he had was a Lincoln welder, a pile of rusty scrap metal, and a JC Whitney catalog, so he went to work. Little did he know that when he decided to do his first channel job, he created a whole lot of extra work for himself getting that mill to fit. The idea was to keep the stock hood length, so he had to drop the radiator support which raised the front end. But he thought it looked pretty cool and that old thing sounded like a B-29 whizzing through the dirt roads of West Virginia. And wouldn't you know it's been sitting in the family barn all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Cool project. I like the subtle touches on your motor weathering, such as the metal showing through on the starter etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I like the back story on this build. The engine is nicely detailed and the finish on the body sure looks the part. You're right about the sound of the exhaust on a Chevy six at full song with little or no mufflers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
