jeff f Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I have seen pics of a chopped 32 3 window Ford at 2017 SEMA . It's British racing green with black Dayton wires . Looks to have an 8 stack 312 Ford engine also . I think it's just too cool ! So here goes . Thanks Jeff .

Jonathan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Sweet! Is this inspired by the Brooklands Special w/ the Right Hand Drive? Looking forward to seeing more - nice work on those wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff f Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Wheels & Tires . My favorite way to start a model . The wheels are from Monogram 1/24 30 Ford with aluminum rings at the rear . I made the two bar spinners from aluminum also . The rear tires are 32 kit generic Goodyears . Fronts are Monogram frontrunners from drag kits . They are bored out to a scale 20 inches . I have a can of Tamiya AS - 21 dark green I'll use with clear . Working on the motor - trans , and top chop . This will be a shelf model only . Thanks for looking in , Jeff .

jeff f Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 This weekend I got the Y block mated to the 302 auto trans and worked on the roof . Pretty happy with the stance after moving the axles up a bit . Things are looking ready for paint I guess . Thanks again Jeff . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff f Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 After three rounds of detail work , sanding and priming the body is ready for color . I found another pic of the car that shows a LS with old valve covers , no thanks . Still thinking about the injection manifold as the intake ports are in vertical pairs . Jeff .

Phat 46 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Excellent job on the chop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Metallic Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Man, those wheels and tires are sweet. And that chop is really nicely done. I'm following Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff f Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm still working on the 32 , flat out strange for me . The green AS- 21 is done with Wet Look . I don't see any blue tint in it though . But it probably matches 1-1 car better . Hope to rolling stock under her this weekend . Have fun Jeff .

Draggon Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 This is the singular exception to my #1 rule that big-wheel 32's do not look right. I really dig this. The 3/4 rear shot is outstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Very impressive chop job. Putting that extra piece in really helped. You also did a great job blending it in and making it disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
