Just having some fun with a flea market find.😜 Stock roof, luckily not glued to the body! With a 2-3/4” chop and 12-3/4” roof stretch. Lots and lots of filing/sanding later. Assessing the potential? Decided to slant the B pillars like Chevys and Plymouths.😳 I think I see potential now? Gotta work on that seam!😬 That blended better than I had hoped. Roof looks a little bulbous so it needs a pancake job. Eeewwww!😬 A bit of primer makes a huge difference. And finally…4-1/2” sectioned off the bottom of the body and hood sides. Rear fenders separated and lowered with the body. That’s it for now. 🤪

I want to make a cool late 50s or early 60s hot rod/show car from the venerable AMT '36 Ford kit. 1: First thing I did was to remove everything from the frame, this was easy, drag the backside of the blade until through, we all do this opening doors and trunks. 2: Then I needed to replace what I removed but add it to the fender unit. I used styrene as thick as the kit floor. 3: To make the bend in my new floor panels, I filed a groove into it where it will bend. 4: Here's how it bends, I held it at the angle I needed then ran some Tamiya thin glue into the groove and held it for a minute or two. 5: Now it's part of the fender unit. 6: Here's how the interior tub will fit over it.

At some what of a request, I put this together from a 1/25 scale AMT 36 Ford. Quartered and sectioned, reworked the fenders and of course Deal himself for that short track attitude!
