I bought a lot of '36 parts from Evilbay, and whilst there's not quite a whole car there's enough to make me to start mocking up and seeing what's what...

This is the AMT body - not sure what the wheels and tyres are from but they look too nice to be AMT ones.  Not SUPER keen on that grille, but its the only one in the box so I'm gonna make it work...

This thing is gonna take some serious amounts of bodywork!  Here's the kit chassis - I didnt like the moulded in exhaust so I carefully scribed the floor to remove the detail that I didnt want...

A quick mock up with the front and rear axles in place:

There wasn't an engine included in the parts lot I bought, so I made a mould from another AMT Flathead block and cast it:

And that's where we're at so far!  No real concept or idea - just use whatever I can from the parts that came with it and making or kitbashing everything missing!

Great start. I love the 36 Fords. Your wheels look like they might be from the old issue of the 53 Ford pockup, given the color of the plastic.

I'll keep an eye on this.
