REV-AMT a mix of 34 Ford Hot Rod Parts

[James2]

Thanks Ed, I find all your parts to be top shelf. IMO, the AMT 34 Ford is overlooked quite often. But is like the AMT 40 Ford. Nice kits to bash a nice model. I also feel the 34 Ford in general doesn’t receive the attention that 32’s do, both in 1:1 and scale. As far as complaints go, we all need thick skin in this hobby. 
Here is a little cold evening update. I added some ribs to the firewall area. 
and then made up my own headlight mounts. Loosely mocked up of course. 

[James2]

As a side note: I believe I found a good use for the printed wheels. Model Haus tires mounted….

[James2]

Sunday mock up….

Nice work so far James!👍 I do like the looks of that body and the wheels are fabulous!😎

[Steve H]

Great looking build James. And those wheels DO look fantastic, also like the mock up with the wire wheels, looks like you found a good home for them.

Looking Terrific Rooster 🐔 I like those wheels and tires! 🛞     Did you source the wheel and tires from the Rat Rod!

What’s the story on that body? Is it a resin one?

I was referring to the 3 window in the foreground!

This is looking really good James. I love the wheel/tire combo and Poncho. Any thoughts on color yet?

And yes, inquiring minds want to know about the 3W. Looks older, like possibly Mill City or Ron Cash?

[James2]

Where were you guys when I posted this back in January?

 

[James2]

I did a thing today, tomorrow I might do some more….

[Steve H]

Keep the “things” coming Rooster! Looking good. Man those wheels look sharp…

[Zippi]

The ole 34 Ford is going to look pretty sharp with those wheels Rooster.  

[James2]

Well I did do some more today. Chassis is assembled, engine is wired and installed. Still need to add fuel lines, paint the interior and finish final body work before paint. 

 

[James2]

Well I miscalculated the wishbone and had to switch to some hairpin braces. I also got the exhaust made and installed along with some fuel lines. 

[slusher]

Terrific work Rooster,🐓 I really like your engine!

[James2]

Thanks Karl, I had to work this morning but I did some building last night and this afternoon. Body and paint next. Need some dry weather though. 

[James2]

Pretty nice weather yesterday so after work having pre-sanded the body over the weekend. I got things set up and spayed a little Seamist Green and 2x clear from Splash paints on the 34. Now to cure. The chassis should really pop now.

[James2]

I couldn’t resist a quick test fit, obviously the roof and running boards are still primer. 

[NOBLNG]

That is a beautiful paint job Rooster! Excellent work on fuel and brake lines….and the headers too.👍😎

[James2]

Getting close….
