Mr. Metallic Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Thought I'd share my latest completion with you guys. Feels good to get it off the bench so I can start something else(funny thing is, since I've finished it all I've been doing is re-arranging my hobby room, lol) It is Revell's '37 Ford Delivery kit. If you guys want details let me know. It's got a wedge cut section out of the bottom of the body to make the attitude more aggressive. Opened up the side windows to show off the wares of the "Longview Custom Boards and Repairs" Co. Engine is kit block with heads from the AMT '34 Ford coupe 2n1. Intake is parts box scoop atop "S.C.O.T " looking blower from AMT old tool '57 Chevy Interior rack is scratchbuilt from evergreen styrene. Boards are sourced from various kits except tri-fins made by Brian Hensen. And here are the boards. Follow the link to more pics http://public.fotki.com/crstan/finished_mo...ngview_37_ford/
Wildrice Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 That is a sweet street rod. Where did you get all the surf boards at?
Stingray69 Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Very cool custom! The surf theme is just awesome dude 8) Job well done man!
Mr. Metallic Posted August 28, 2006 Author Posted August 28, 2006 That is a sweet street rod. Where did you get all the surf boards at? When I originally started the project I figured I was just gonna use a bunch of the Johan shortboards(available in many of their kits, most recently the rambler wagon) but I knew there were more out there, so I decided to dig deeper. These are the kits I sourced my boards from, but I know there are more out there AMT '41 Woody AMT '64 Marauder Revell '31 Model A sedan "rat rod" The 2 tri fin boards were handmade by Steve Hensen
jbwelda Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 yes i love that rack and the side windows to see the inside!
Irvin Arter Jr. Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 that is really cool, great idea and clean building!
Matt T. Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Craig that is one imaginative build! And a great advertisement for that kit - I doubt the box art ever sold it to the hot rod crowd, but this should do it. Congratulations on your well-deserved award it garnered too!
