Chopped ‘36 Ford

Fantastic work on that 4 link! And you've absolutely nailed the stance, with the perfect wheel/tire combo, oh man that is looking so sweet!

Glad you decided to get back to this one, Greg. The chassis work looks terrific.

I modified and relocated the steering box and got some linkages made. Still have to run a shaft up to the firewall. And I need to fab up some front and rear shocks and that should be about it for the suspension.

Well I have it gooped up with some sprue goo, so we’ll see if I can get that roof blended in nicely….someday.

Looking good Greg.  I had trouble with both the 36's I build getting the sprue goo sanded down nicely.  Yours should turn out better than mine did.

Greg, the black body looks like you could put jump-seats in the back. A sort of phantom, maybe? It kinda reminds me of the '39 Chevy coupe. Sanding it into shape should be fun 🙂.

I am actually using the Boss 302 engine from the Revell 2013 Mustang kit. So I decided to scavenge the exhaust system for parts. I used the catalytic converters, then a short pipe made from 1/16” Evergreen to connect to the mufflers. The mufflers I narrowed to get room for a driveshaft and then made the rear pipes from .080” Evergreen. I’m not sure if I will dump them there or fab up some tailpipes yet. I also made a driveshaft using the Mustang ends, some 1/8” tube and .060” hex.

Don't forget to put some O2 sensor on for those CATS, don't want you throwing any codes.

It’s Ok, I put some tape over the dash light.🤓

Great work so far, I enjoy checking out your builds. The scratch building you, and other members here, is awesome. Nice job on the 4 link.

I added the cross-over pipe and that’s it for today…I’m exhausted.🥴

Well you shouldn't have put in a CEL in the first place.🙄

Did you scratch your converters ant the beginning of your exhaust or is that something else?

The converters and pipes until just past the first bend are from the Mustang Carl.

Very impressive modifications to your frame, right down to the pins for your engine mounts - very nice!
