Wow, you did a lot of work to correct some blemishes of the time honored AMT 40 kit. I like where this is headed!

I like where you’re going with this. The pictures are of a 39 Mercury. While the Fords and Mercurys looked similar no body panels were interchangeable between the Ford and Mercury. They also had a longer wheelbase.

One I'am working on and one I did before the 2dr sedan came ou.t I used the speedwagon kit
Is the top one supposed to be an early version of Dave Stuckey’s Lil Coffin? Because I have been thinking of trying to build that car.

Really cool Tim. I’ve only built the convertible and woody, and only the convertible has survived. I have the custom chopped coupe kit but I’ve already robbed the tires out of it so I need to stop doing that and build it. You mentioned others saying the chop was funky, and I concur, probably why I haven’t built it yet but your builds look great so I should just dive in.
I painted this vert Testors green from an airbrush, Corvette FI small block, I used 1/24 32 Ford bumpers to replicate those 3 rib “Briz” bumpers that were so popular 20 years ago.

A piece of styrene rod down the middle of the grille makes it resemble a Pines Winterfront. The Pines company made grilles for various makes that had shutters you could open or close depending on the weather. They are rare and expensive if you can find one. The ones for a 32 had a piece of stainless down the middle.

Body and frame are in paint. Ts44 Brilliant Blue over black. No clear just polished the paint. What do you think the interior color should be? Gray, tan, black, red or?

Really cool! I had hoped to get one of these someday but I think it might be the most collectable kit out there, especially with the renewed hype! Thanks for posting.
-
Thanks guys! It was a fun and challenging build but I’m done with F-100s for the foreseeable future.

Ed makes nice stuff. I've built the Fordor, have a 5w and 3w in stock, and I recently ordered the 34 and the Deuce Tudor.. You won't find a nicer quality product in the aftermarket.

That was I saw too, they have done a lot to preserve and/or restore a lot of customs, rods, and show cars from then. Think if I were in the owner’s shoes, this is the group I would contact too.
I do wonder how Steve Scott May respond to this news, is he still at least a bit off his rocker?
I've talked to Steve Scott on Facebook a few times and through email. He did seem a bit "off" to me. Nice fella, but some of his story didn't add up. I think he knew where the car was and who had it but was told unequivocally that he would never get it back. Bad blood I guess.

Looking good Jeff! I'm working on one of these too.
-
It's my understanding (from a couple guys in the know) that the location of the Uncertain-T was known but getting it out of the hands of the owner was the issue. Looks like the owner approached the Boeckmans, and that's how it was "found".
-
Killer detail! Can't wait to see more. I've built several of these, and have another unbuilt one. The only thing stopping me is lack of shelf space for these big models!
-
Nice! I love this kit, probably built it 10 times over the last 40 years. I have another one on deck I've been thinking about digging out.

Lookin good!

I love this because it's subtle. Unless you know Rivis one might not know what has been done. Really looks cool!

Thanks fellas! Yeah the kit is a turd, but it was a good challenge and a reminder than you can polish a turd!

Dang, I'd brag about that all day! Very cool Dennis.
It was definitely worth revisiting this project and pushing it through. I was bummed when you boxed it. Turned out really cool. Like others have said the Baskerville inspiration is unmistakably there without being a full-on copy. Nice top!
And not to brag (😁) but I’ve actually worked on and driven the real deal. Here it is at the shop. 😉

A long shot, I know, since the part I need hasn't been produced since the 70's...
The old monogram 34 Fords (Coupe or Cabriolet) had a full, 3 piece hood, and the side hoods had the stock louvers. This is not the same hood from the ZZ Top Eliminator kit. I need the hood top and both side hoods. Be happy to trade for something. Thanks for checking guys. See the hood on the model in the pic for reference.

This kit was the subject of a YouTube Group build. It's chopped, sectioned, front wheel openings moved forward, and other custom touches. Tamiya maroon and clear on the roof, Testors Extreme Lacquer Gold and same brand clear on the body. 59 Chevy front bumper, 56 T-Bird hood scoop, Y block from same T Bird kit, Decals inspired by Dennis Lacy

This is amazing! I love these “what if” style builds. Someone should build that in 1:1!
