2 for1 34 Ford projects

[junkyardjeff]

Picked up a partial 60s Monogram 34 Ford and then got the 90s chopped top coupe for the chassis and other parts but since I have two frames going to make the coupe body fenderless after I get the parts to finish the other chassis.

Build on... I look forward to seeing how this goes.

Convertible will be first and then the coupe.

I did not want to paint the body but I will have to so the fenders will match, its going to be painted Tamiya TS 11 which should be close with a black interior.

In primer now and using the motor from the 40 p/u.

Who would have thought two of us would be working on a pair of these at the same time? I find this rare kit beats tbe pants off the AMT version. I'll be watching yours with interest.

OK, my turn!  A couple of years ago,  at the Detroit NNL, I scored a MIB 2nd issue of the Monogram '34 Ford (the shorter deeper box, stock parts only kit).  Over this past holiday break from work, I decided "it's time".  So into it I dig.  The first thing I noted on the body, and coupe roof  were some incorrect shapes (Monogram did the coupe roof with a considerable overhang at the sides, with a molding above and behind that speaks more of drain moldings (which those bodies did not have,  and the belt line moldings looking more like a couple of "rounded" steps, rather than having a prominent indented crease between the large molding and the the window surround.  So, a whole lotta filing, and the adding of some strip styrene.   Here we go, stock kit roof, to adding some .025" styrene strip stock, to the final shaping of the slightly flared-then-rolled-under edges of the A-pillar, above the door, and down the B-pillar/upper quarter panel:

All the shaping was done with assorted needle files,  the filler used is Zap-A-Gap CA glue, filed and and sanded to shape with bits of 400-grit sandpaper and a lot of patience.

I am glad to see there are more being built,here is a picture of all that I have. One stock coupe and another coupe  with the custom grille on the 90s chopped top street rod chassis with the Pontiac motor,the stock chassis from it went under the 90s body with the 60s convertible parts. There is another 90s version with the 60s convertible parts and a ZZ Top coupe.
