Monogram 1937 Ford Sedan - 1990 style

[Karl LaFong]

I had some late 80's/early 90's paint and parts taking up space, so in a fit of nostalgia, built this 1990 - era street rod.  It includes the cliches  styling cues of the era -pastel paint, billet wheels, smooth running boards, no bumpers, etc.  

In progress info here: 

 

   

 

        

 

I wish Revell/Monogram would re-release this kit- it's a cool period piece!

This looks really good! Totally late 80s-early 90s street rod stuff right there.

Me too, and I keep hoping they will do it with the original (1987) kit wheels, instead of the rollers found in the original convertible kit.

Cool build.  I remember seeing these billet rods at Good Guys shows in the 1990s.

Turned out really nice looking Keith.  Love the ole fat fender cars.

Great looking street rod,reminds me of every magazine cover from my childhood. You nailed the look.

Vintage 90's, you nailed it!

Been wanting to build one of these forever, just needs a 5.0 Ford in it for me. These kits are all over on the Bay, I probably have too many.

Beautiful build. Very clean work. Nice job.

Yeah, not only did they change the wheels and the frame for the dropped front axle, they also made the exhaust system one piece (instead of the separate mufflers).  I had some NSFW comments about the new front suspension!

Well done, I can hear the billet from here... throw on some ZZ Top or some Tom Petty and it all comes rushing back.

Very cool street rod. Definitely fits the era, nice details as well.

I remember seeing these at shows, great job capturing that time!
