I have a unbuilt 65 kit and it has a convertible top and that is what I was wanting but the 66 top will do until I find one.
-
Did Monogram make anything with a Y block,I think my latest 34 Ford coupe needs one.
-
It looks like the top is not correct for this year but I like it,I was hoping to find a convertible top but the hard top will work.

Looks like one more Monogram 34 Ford

I do have a couple of the 90s versions chopped tops. -

This will be my fourth one in the last couple months,since it's mostly used parts it will have primered parts for a beater hotrod. -
I have almost enough parts to build another and since this one has been glued together it's a little rough so time for primer spot hotrod. This one will be mostly built with vintage parts.
-
This came from.a thrift store missing parts and had some incorrect parts too,I had to get correct hubcaps as it had Pontiac 8 lugs and was missing the top, radiator and had a incorrect engine. Left the paint alone and just done some detailing.
-
It's apart and must of been in a damp area since I had a hard time getting the screws out and were rusty.
-
Probably just use the whole 65 engine but are the optional Buick engine in the 40 Ford kits similarly made. I noticed all the Ford FE engines of that era were similar except the trans.
-
I do not have the parts to fix it but have them on the way,I have a complete unbuilt 65 engine on the way that should have the parts I need.
-
This was with that bunch of parts I picked up early last year and is going to get restored,going to remove the side pipes and repaint and the chassis is definitely going to be painted. It has a incomplete engine and have one coming and might see if I can get a nicer set of bumpers. I am also going to see if I can find some stock wheel covers or ralley wheels.

Plain Jane 56 Chevy
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I was told they were a pain to build so I am going to get the later version and build it,the guy at the hobby shop said he never seen anyone build that version. -
I have a old Revell 56 I started on last night but after looking at the trim that goes down the side I doubt I can get them off the trees without destroying them so did GM ever make one with no side trim.
-
If it did not have that decal I wanted to save I would have painted it and done a better job of painting the trim,it was originally put together by a teenager back in the 60s.

This is one of the bodies in that batch of parts I got earlier this year,it has been built with mostly vintage parts except for the Atlantis/Revell Caddy engine. Since it had that decal on the trunk I left the body alone and just painted the chassis and interior.

50s Caddy engines
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I ended up making that 4 carb intake into one for a single 4 bbl. -
Do I build it?
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I do have around 30 built 40s from all manufacturers. -
50s Caddy engines
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I am going to use the Revell engine with the AMT 3 carb intake on this build,might look for a stock looking air cleaner that will cover all the carbs. -
This is my fourth one in the last couple months.

50s Caddy engines
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think the one I have is from the 59 kit as its slightly larger then the Revell. -
50s Caddy engines
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I found one that I think is the optional engine from the 59 Elcamino that has stock valve covers so at least I will have those. -
I am putting the Alantis/Revell Caddy engine in a AMT 40 Ford and would like to make it stock and like it was just plucked from the junkyard so are there any kits out there with a stock 50s Caddy engines. The AMT threw carb intake fits so this one will most likely be put together with it and aluminum valve covers but would like to build a stock looking engine in the future.
