51 ford woody

[damodelguy az]

took a 49 merc woody kit and a front from a 49 ford coupe, then i had a resin 51 ford i hadnt built yet so i molded and made me a 51 grille, use the alumilite mini casing kit. whalla,  i make relief cuts here and there sometimes to widen, flatten, shift and narrow. enjoy, ford has another idea.  built on 2/26/17

Whoah- that turned out well! Good job, and great color choices.

[Foxer]

Beautiful job on that!

[Modlbldr]

That is beautiful! I like that you made it a 51. You did a great job on the body work and the color choice is perfect.

Excellent!!

[Rider]

That looks factory, very nice work! 

[TarheelRick]

That is one mighty fine looking Woody.  You have done some excellent work, and as the others have said that color is beautiful.

Very sharp !

[Tom Geiger]

Very nice!  Thanks for sharing the step by step conversion process!

[Davewilly]

great looking Woody!

[Phildaupho]

Very well done conversion. The 49/50/51 Ford Woodies are one of my favourite body styles of all time. I fabed one up over 25 years ago which was no where as nice as yours.

Nice work on the conversion.  Well built and finished.  Good choice of wheels and tires.  I might try this conversion myself.  I was thinking of building a 1949 Ford woody using the Merc kit.

That color scheme is outstanding! The paint really complements the wood tones, and vice versa.

Hi!

Great mash-up idea... turned out well!

If I may... what is the yellow Ford pick-up in the background of one of the opening pix? Looks like the Testor's Boyd Smoothster nose/fenders with a cab... Mash-up or kit combo? Just curious, it looks sharp!
