Monogram 37 Ford Sedan

[Modlbldr]

I just finished this up tonight. I built it to see how it goes together before I build the coupe on Saturday for the 18th annual 24 hr build-off.

Airbrushed LA Colors "Blue Moon" nail polish, lowered suspension, resin/PE LaSalle grill, die cast wheels and tires, Revell Parts Pack Caddy engine, 3d printed Thermador window mounted A/C, modified parts box sun visor, customized kit exhaust. 

The build was a bit of a pain but I had fun.

Well that's one darn cool clean looking '37 Tom.  Great paint job with the nail polish?

If I may ask, what did you thin the nail polish with?

Good-looking build. Nice job.

[Yeah Nah]

Nice job on the 37! 

I'd never come across mention of a Thermador car cooling system till now. Just Googled so now I know. The stuff we take for granted in today's cars!

Thank you! I thin the paint 50/50 with Mr Hobby Leveling thinner. You can also use good ol lacquer thinner.

Yep, early style air conditioner (a swamp cooler). You see them a lot on the lowrider bomb style cars.

I like it! A little custom, a little 'bomb' style build........ The basis for these kits (I've built the coupe a few times....) is really good fodder for many types of build!

[ChrisR]

Very nice!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Lots to love about this one. Nice.  

[XYHARRY]

Very cool 37 there Tom. Colour combo looks great as does the stance and wheels, well done. 

Cheers,

Sweet looking ride! The colors are beautiful.

[happy grumpy]

Great looking build, pretty neat color, I dig it.

Great looking build. Like the custom touches to the front end and the artillery style wheels. I remember those window mounted "swamp coolers" from back in the day. We would stop and get a bag of ice to add to the cooler, they worked very well for the time. 

[karbuildr]

Very  cool build, the nail polish color looks very good, and I like the custom modifications you made. Nice Caddy engine.

[Zippi]

Good looking 37 Ford Tom.  Love that color.

Darn good poking build.

FYI, fair warning, the coupe body to fender fitment isn't nearly as good as this sedan kit. The rear area around the rear fenders and tail panel needs a bit of attention before the body will sit all the way down onto the fenders.

Good luck on the 24 hour build. Buddy of mine did this kit for the 24hr a few years ago.

Very cool looking, love the color!

Thanks for the warning. I actually started one of the coupes at the same time as this one. I just didn't get as far on it. I did see where I would need to give attention to that area. Here is the coupe I started. It is just mocked up on the wheels but I'm liking it.

Nicely done!

I really like the fuel lines you added.

[Zippi]

Love that Coupe.  The wheels & tires and the color look Super nice.

[ewetwo]

That looks fantastic. Love the fuel lines.

[carrucha]

Cool build.  The swamp cooler and visor are nice touches.

[Intmd8r]

Perfect color combination.

Very well done!
