Very sweet treatment on a 32 Ford. I like the fenders, louvers, grill, and pinstriping. Great article in HRM June 1953.
-
Just so we don't think Corvette was the first fiberglass car, comes this Glasspar from HRM April 1953. Some of these aftermarket creations (later to become the kit car industry I suppose), had interesting designs of their own. I wonder if this one ever became a scale model?
-
Man, that is a good looking truck!
-
I built one not too long ago and posted it here. The paint you chose comes out perfect when compared to the box art. The only thing you might have to do is get a set of decals as the ones in the box are not for the spy car at all. I'll be watching your build with great anticipation!

Along these lines, here's a great shot of another mid-engined roadster from HRM
-
...more to follow tomorrow
-
I think this custom '37 Ford Coupe is the definition of stunning. I don't just want to build the model, I want to build the real deal!
-
Nothing says 50's more than an airplane engine stuffed into an airplane-looking trike, and calling it a "Jetmobile"!
-
Beautiful shot of a dressed 51 Mercury engine (at least I think that's what the article said)
-
A great tutorial on chopping the roof on a coupe
-
BTW; are you all enjoying my snip-its from here and there? And what articles are getting you revved up?
-
A twin engined streamliner. Who wouldn't want to build that?
-
One of the earlier articles I've run across regarding scale model builders. This was about a gentleman named Al Jimenez. Anybody know him or know about him?
-
This Henry J caught my attention from HRM August 1951. These had to be kind of the "hot hatch" of their day, along with their British counterparts. A lovely car I would enjoy building.
-
Charles, here's a great photo of one of these Frenzel superchargers on a Ford engine. I myself have a 3d printed Frenzel on a Lincoln V12 I'm looking forward to dropping into the right build!
-
...but stayed tuned, the really crazy stuff didn't really seem to start till the 50's got underway!
-
And finally, a mid-engined 1927 T-Roadster! Apparently anything went during this heyday of "Hot Rodding" cars. (HRM September 1950)
-
A beautiful Lakester I could totally see building from scratch...
-
Nothing like a guy who takes a Cord sedan, drops in a Mercury engine, and goes racing! I'm assuming he did this for the front wheel drive, but it's a wild ride in any case!
-
HRM June 1950 had just my kind of build - - - crazy engine in a totally incorrect car!
-
And off in a different direction, HRM October 1949 had an earlier iteration of the Pierson Brothers Salt Flats racer. I have seen diecasts of this vehicle, but don't know if any scale models exist. In any case, it would be fun to build this earlier version in "as raced" condition.
-
HRM October 1948 had an interesting article regarding a channeled 1941 Mercury done by Barris Custom Shop. What a beautiful car. I don't know my "Lead Sled" history very well, but may I assume this was one of the earlier attempts? In any event, I would love to build one of these.
-
From HRM September 1965 comes a Simoniz ad with "Casper's Ghost". Just WOW!
-
Came out awesome Jeremy!
-
Apparently, there were no rules back then... From HRM October 1949, I present the "burn yourself on the way in and out" roadster...
