Revell 1937 Ford

[JohnnyK]

One day my wife and I were at the Volo Car Museum and Store which is about 40 miles north of Chicago. They have a lot of nice classic cars for sale: www.volocars.com   I spotted this 1934 two-tone Ford for sale ($67,998). I thought that that would make a nice mode car. 

First I painted the Revell 1937 Ford with Testors' Diamond Dust.  Then I painted the top of the car with Testors' Sapphire Blue Metallic.  You may be wondering where  are the rear view mirrors and the tail lights? I lost those during the build process.  I doubt that the new Revell would have replacements.

Dang fine looking Ford. Great color combo! It looks sleeker w/o the mirrors. ?

Good looking build.

[cobraman]

I agree, nice looking model.

Nice coupe! Like the color combo!

[JohnnyK]

Thanks guys.

The two tone paint treatment looks good and I don't recall ever seeing the way you did the rear using the trunk lid. I like this better since most I have seen have the upper color go all the way to the bottom of the body.

I used masking tape to follow the contour of the trunk lid. It is too bad that the two colors that I used for the model are no longer available. Testors made some nice colors a few years ago until Rustoleum's greed killed them off.

The wheels and colour combo look great. Looks good without the mirrors, they cause drag anyway, haha.

[JohnnyK]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Really sharp looking 37.  I love the ole fat fender cars/trucks.  I had a 1:1 37 Ford truck street rod.

[JohnnyK]

I'll bet that the '37 truck looked really cool.

[Zippi]

It was a hoot to drive.  It was an old school Hot Rod.  High HP, no PS/PB/, 4 speed, arm out the window.  

[JohnnyK]

Nice color. What engine?

[Zippi]

It was a Chevy 302 solid lift.  That was a 350 block with a 283 crank which destroked it to a 302 pushing 400 hp.  Sanderson headers, Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed, 411 gears.  It would get from A to B in a hurry.
