Superb build, ADL! Your 1:1 mechanical experience truly comes to life in scale! -KK -
Wow! Put your socks back on, Bill! You're right... when it is finished and all is said, few will even realize what went into it or where it all began. I truly appreciate the observation and kind feedback, Sir! ACME is alive and well... our monthly meeting is this Sunday and I will be attending!

Thanks, guys! There's so much more to share with you on this build! Combining the AMT '34 5ive Window Coupe and '34-Monogram Chassis together was another major task in preparing the '33's stance. The Monogram '34 Chassis had more of a arch in the forward rails than the AMT's and offered a bit more frontend drop. Every inch counts! Then it was on to the '33 Coupe K-Member Mods by adding the Revell '40 Ford K-Member. And removing the stock battery box, too!

Thanks, Bill! It's a labor of the love, replicating the '33 3hree Window Body and chopping it to its final glory!

The AMT '33 Ford Street Rod 2dr Sedan Grilles‏ fit the AMT '34 Ford 5 Window Coupe without any modifications...

It all started with the '33/'34 Ford 3hree Window Coupes from Monogram/Revell & the AMT '34 5ive Window Coupe bodies. The Monogram greenhouse is wider and a bit too long to fit the AMT body, but the upper rear corners of the door frame (lite openings) are far more correct than the Revell Snap Kit. So, to get the right contours meant some slicing and dicing had to done to combine the varying components together to create the chopped '33 3hree window greenhouse. '33 coupe A pillar reconstruction and redoing the bracing was an integral part in assuring the body remained structurally sound during the reconstruction of the chopped top.

There once was a man from Greenville He created art with inspiration from Freedomville The results were always exciting and full of detail He will be missed and not forgotten in Modelville... There are boxes too many live, work and stay in But Ricky, you always thought and built outside of your box And, you always said you loved my work and encouraged me I'll miss you, my friend and your inspiration to our hobby I always felt the desire to better my skills to catch up with you My models all pale in comparison to your artful creations Know that you will be one of my All American Idols
