Raul_Perez Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) This is one that I built several years ago that's still a favorite of mine (meaning I haven't given it away to make room for something newer...yet). It's a combination of the AMT '50 Ford convertible with the chassis pan from the AMT '49 Ford (the difference being the '49 chassis doesn't have a molded in place exhaust system). The engine, tranny, driveline, rear end, rear suspension, tires and wheels all came from the Revell '32 Ford 3 window coupe kit. The seats came from a late-model Mustang. The few body mods, including the chopped windshield, are custom parts from the '50 Ford kit. Thanks for looking, Edited June 28, 2008 by Raul_Perez
Raul_Perez Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 Amazing build Raul, will this be at Stockton? Sure...I don't think I've ever shown it there... What are you bringing?
Roadkill2525 Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 If I can get the Grand National finished, it'll be there. I might bring my custom Deora and Focus mock-up.
Clay Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Awesome work as always, I believe I saw this one in our fotki album, why dont you post all the ones youve done that arent on here yet
Raul_Perez Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 Awesome work as always, I believe I saw this one in our fotki album, why dont you post all the ones youve done that arent on here yet All in due time, my young friend, all in due time... You see, by spacing out when I post stuff that I built years ago, it provides the illusion that I periodically get something done!!
Clay Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I am still waiting on that roadster you are building. and the drag car.
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Raul, that's a great take on a modern old school custom. Looks nice
george 53 Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 No kiddin Raul, that interior sure came out good!Great use of kitbashing parts to make a neat lookin ride!Never noticed that the 50 had molded in exhast.Thanks for the heads up!Yer lil chort chures loookeen Goood!!!!
cruz Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Awesome work Raul, love the look of the seatbelts and the colors chosen between the interior and the body, very cool!!!!!
ajulia Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Hello there friend! Your attention to detail is always top-notch amigo!! The engine bay is my favorite apart from it being a drop top!! Excellent build up Keep on wit the keepin on!!! peace ajulia
Raul_Perez Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) Thanks for all of the compliments, guys!! George, I lowered the rear roll pan and contoured the exhaust openings. I also switched the left and right pipes where they exit the mufflers so that they came out in the center instead of the sides. Edited June 28, 2008 by Raul_Perez
8bahead Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 very nice shoe box thank you for keeping it all FORD!
rickr442 Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Beautiful work one of the best from one of my favorite builders, but... the rest of the car is waaaay too cool for that plasticky steering wheel! (Had a Zephyr Z7 for a while, didn't like it THERE either!)
Raul_Perez Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 very nice shoe box thank you for keeping it all FORD! Thanks!! Yeah...I like to Ford engines in Ford cars, Chevy in Chevy... Beautiful work one of the best from one of my favorite builders, but... the rest of the car is waaaay too cool for that plasticky steering wheel! (Had a Zephyr Z7 for a while, didn't like it THERE either!) Thanks!! That's too funny!! I guess that I'd have to agree with you on that one. The steering wheel is way too contemporary for the rest of the build, even though the seats came from the same Mustang kit as the steering wheel...
FordRodnKustom Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Lookin good Raul, Beautiful paint and nice restomod elements. Well done!
