Koellefornia Kid Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 ’33/’34 Fords always were and always will be my favourite Hot Rods. My first model build was an amt ’34 sedan and was followed by three Monogram 3-windows over the years. Now I returned to amt/Ertl and built it’s 5-window kit: I chopped the top and left the fenders in the box. The decklid is covered with a home printed decal showing a pair of aces and a pair of eights, the cards Wild Bill Hickok had in his hand when he was shot in the back. That’s why I called this Rod The Dead Man’s Hand. Velocity stacks, front axle, headers and wish bones are left overs from earlier builds, the grille came from a Monogram ’33 street rod. The ’59 Caddy taillights frenched into the scratch built rear valance are from an amt ’49 Merc. The resin wheels and tires came from ThePartsBox (AUS). I hope you like my little Rod, comments are always welcomed and appreciated. Greetings from Cologne, Germany 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original idea was to mount them to the front axle but I totally forgot them, so I decided to attach them to the grille at the lower position... Nice to know that other modellers like that idea ?

Rattlecan Dan Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Before they shoot this Rod in the back, they'll have to catch it first! Nice job. Wild Kid Rolfsen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
