1937 Ford Street Rod

[Zippi]

Just finished this Monogram 1937 Ford Street Rod up this morning.  Paint is Tamiya Maroon with Splash Paints 2K clear and polished with Meguiar's products.  It has a Rust-Oleum Satin Charcoal Gray interior.  The business end has a 572 BB Chevy that I printed out.  I opted to leave the hood side panels off so the BB Chevy can be seen.  The stock wheels and tires were used as I liked the looks of them.  Funny story on the rear taillights.  I lost one while trying to install them so I opted for the taillights from a 61 Impala.  Once I had them glued on my wife found the lost taillight in the house.  I guess it stuck to my shoe when I went into the house.  Hope you fellows like this one.

G’day Bob, very nice looking Ford there. That paint came up nice and glassy. That big block is a tight squeeze, but looks good. Top stuff. 👍🏻

That's beautiful, Bob. The engine looks real, and the paint is gorgeous!

Love the smooth dark maroon paint finish. Great looking engine and details on the chassis.

Thanks.  It's a Great color for the right build.  Be careful as the paint likes to pull away from sharp edges.
