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 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
