1937 Ford slant back

[m3fan]

Hey fellow modellers,

This is my first works in progress and hoping that by posting it makes me finish this kit.

It is the stock 37 body and fenders but the twist is I’m using the Boyd Smoothster chassis and running gear. It is also going to dressed in Pegasus wheels and tires to fill wheel wells better!

As for colour it will be inspired by the Impala in the pics, so grey body black roof with red interior.

Thanks for looking.

Your slant back looks pretty kewl.  Ill be watching this one.

Congrats Russ for taking the plunge and offering up a WIP with your 37 Ford! I had never realized what a cool chassis is under the Smoothster; give me all sorts of ideas. Looking forward to following your build all the way to final colour and assembly.
Cheers Misha

I like the modern chassis and suspension with the fairly stock body.

What a great idea! For some reason I thought the Smoothster kit was 1:25 but I must be wrong because it looks like the wheelbase is perfect. I especially like how you integrated the rear filler pan and scalloped the body for the exhaust.

So a little update. Thanks for all comments.

R&M replicas Cadillac taillights frenched into stock position. Redo of interior floor pan to accommodate larger trans and engine assembled into chassis.

next should be primer stage!

Great project. I have been wanting to use one of those chassises under something. It sure gives the slant-back a great stance and the exhaust exits really look good. Green and red are a great combo.

Great Fran choice for your project..

Hi Russell,  this is a great looking project. The stance is perfect! I have both of those kits on hand, you are providing some inspiration… Your paint work is always flawless, those colours should look killer on it. Tucking the exhaust up into the body is a nice touch, polished aluminum tips?

Cheers, Steve

Small update.

A mock up of colour combo, just to make sure I like it.
