Chopped ‘34 Ford 5 window - The dead man‘s hand

[Koellefornia Kid]

’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.

Thanks, Mario. 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 ?

Outstanding! Love the look and the decals

Before they shoot this Rod in the back, they'll have to catch it first! Nice job. Wild Kid Rolfsen.
