Sportabout Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 After a year and a half of modelling, Bad Girl is finally ready. This is my vision of a Hot Rod. Sinister, fast and loud but not a rat rod. On The Workbench: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/147025-ford-3-window-coupe-1933/
alan barton Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Did this one start as the ZZ Top kit? I have a mate who drives a very similar one, just with a flathead instead of a hemi head! Cheers Alan
AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 It's got a HEMI so it sure I love it... just kidding, nice little FORD John! Did you glue 2 tires together to get the whitewall rear tires wider than normal?
espo Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Great looking build style. I also noticed the rear tires. I think it looks good as the tread pattern matches the fronts.

Real Eliminator has Chevy SB 350 + TH350 + Ford 9" rear but the kit has flathead manual transmission, torque tube rear end and Pontiac small block.

I wanted same size white wall and tread pattern to front and rear tires. Edited May 8, 2020 by Sportabout

PS: I'm so sorry, I just realise that I put the wrong name in my previous post... I'm not proud of me!
Koellefornia Kid Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Awesome! I love this kit, built 3 times in the last decade. You give me inspiration for some more!
