AMT '36 Ford

[Al Hoffman]

I had my camera set at its best exposure so my image size is too large to post many so I'm going to split the post between here and Under Glass. Any way this is my rendition of the latest release of AMT's '36 Ford. Wish I could say it is a good kit to build but as you can see by the images as much correction was required as modification in this build. The kit was built in the roadster version to keep everything down low.

The body was sectioned on a scale 3" to 0" rear to front taper to give it a built rake. Frame was cut loose from the floorboards mainly to clean up everything underneath and make it easier to adapt the Phantom Vicky running gear and Revell '32 Ford engine.

Firewall, radiator, interior shell, hood and hood sides all required modification to compensate for the body section and channel of the body on the frame. Manual tranny is grafted to the Ford engine. Running boards were removed.  I'll cover the finish and post a few more pictures over on Under Glass.

Thanks for looking.
