  1. I picked up around six of these trucks built with the intention of using a couple for parts but we're too nice for that,been using the stock rims from the 60s versions and the hopped up engines in Monogram 34 Fords to build early 50s hotrods.
  2. Picked this one up locally falling apart so it's going back together,looks like someone put the 60s body on the 70s chassis.
  3. I got this one off eBay falling apart just for the engine for a 34 Ford project,decided to put it back together using some 60s parts I accumulated since getting it. Stock engine,hood and tailgate came from the 60s parts and the missing rear fender came from the latest version,need to find decals to make it a gas station shop truck and a smooth bed cover from the 60s kit.
  4. Does anyone make decent trailer hitches.
  5. It's not Testers metallic green as the fenders are painted that color now,going to soak that body and just paint everything metallic green and be done with it. I would loved to match that paint but just too old.
  6. Will take the body with me to the hobby shop and see what is closest as it most likely was painted in the 60s but would be nice if still was available.
  7. I picked up this body and would like to match the paint, going to make it full gendered.
  8. Picked up this 60s Monogram 34 Ford body that was most likely painted in the 60s,going to make it full gendered and trying to match the paint if possible .
  9. If I am not mistaken the 51 Victoria body is a convertible with the hard top bolted on so the 50 convertible would be the easiest to convert.
  10. I picked up a molded in black AMT 49 Ford and since it survived this long without being painted I would like to see if I can make it look like paint so what do I need to do as I have never done it before.
  11. Picked up this started but not all glued together 49 molded in black,it does have some gray parts in it so I am wanting to know if it was first or was it the gray one. Miss Daisy gives her approval.
  12. I can imagine the trunks in the later 30s coupes were wider then a 34 so I will have to cut on the body some,planning on using a model A bed.
  13. What I will make it from is a 3 window coupe and do like the ute but since my parts are on the rough side I am going the home made look,I have seen beds that slipped in the trunks so that is what I will try first.
  14. I have plenty of rough Monogram 34 Ford parts and got the idea of making a depression/,WW II home made truck. Thinking about cutting down the bed from a model A or similar era bed to go in where the trunk lid was kind of like some of those kits that were sold back then. Anybody ever build one.
  15. Looking for the stock engine parts for a project and all I have are the hotrod parts.
  16. After further investigation I do not know what I will do with it,I prefer a stock looking Camaro so it might get traded.
  17. I picked up a built original that has custom parts on it and would like to make it look stock so is there a newer kit that I can rob parts from or do I need to find another original for parts.
  18. Now that I think I have all of the 34s its time to start on the 36s,I do have the 60s version built in a coupe and convertible and back in the 70s built both the coupe and convertible in the early irons series. A few years ago I built what I thought was a 90s version of the coupe molded in a metalic maroon and do not think it was a early iron series,I recently picked up a early iron series 36 convertible thinking it was from the 70s but found out its from the 90s so am I missing any.
  19. It's the early iron series,I got it falling apart and did not put the side pipes back on. Was thinking about trying to get rid of the 70s.
  20. I presumed the black one was molded in black but after further investigation it has been painted so since it has the aluminum wheels its most likely the green version from the 70s,there is no green showing so its completely painted but the paint is cracking after looking very closely so it looks like I will have them all.
