Zippi Posted July 14, 2024 Posted July 14, 2024 Very creative idea. I'm liking it. It's going to be a Looker. 1

Bullybeef Posted July 17, 2024 Posted July 17, 2024 I agree with you the stock windshield frame will lend to a classy look. Probably even the one from the monogram roadster with the “wing “ windows. 2
Bugatti Fan Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 Brilliant conversion/ kit bash Kit. You really do have a bit of a whacky sense of humour making a chauffeur driven town car from a FORD? Normally you associate those sorts of cars with the likes of Rolls Royce, Deusenberg, Hispano Suiza, Packard etc. I like to see 'off the wall' builds like this one. Neat! 1
stavanzer Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 From the Henry Ford Museum Collection. https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digital-collections/artifact/126521 and Found this too. 3

Bugatti Fan Posted July 19, 2024 Posted July 19, 2024 (edited) Neat ! Both the pics you and Alan placed are interesting. Edited July 19, 2024 by Bugatti Fan 1
Kit Karson Posted July 28, 2024 Author Posted July 28, 2024 Spent a little while at the bench... 1st fill in the cut lines... ...add the back stop... Each side ready to set in place... Again, one side at a time... ...then the other side! Line up the roof sides... inside & out! Ready to fill in the gap!! -KK 2 1

espo Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 Very impressive body work. Sort of like a Jig Saw Puzzle. 1

Going to use the aftermarket instead of the kit version -KK
stavanzer Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 I hadn't noticed before. Those are the '34 Fenders. Using them for the sidemount spare? 1

Bullybeef Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 Tidy work as always KK, loving the coach built look of the whole affair. 1
Rattlecan Dan Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 I don't always comment on W.I. P's, (many are never completed). But I'm very impressed with your planning and effort. The lengthening and detailing are bound to produce a handsome build for sure. I hope you'll manage to bring this one to completion. I think it's going to be a beauty! 1

jaymcminn Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 I've been massively enjoying this build from the sidelines. Question... Town cars tended not to have the rear quarter windows, largely for the privacy of their passengers. Are you keeping the rear quarter windows on yours? 1

Although, after I started this project, I found this 1932 Ford Town Car... look closely and you'll see a small oval rear quarter window. Not sure, yet! -KK
