Revell's 37 Ford Coupe

[Robert81]

I've been working on this one since the new year. I ditched as much of the modern junk as I could.

I built a front cross-member for the drop axle and swapped a quick change for the corvette rear axle. I built new door panels from sheet styrene, swapped a 4 speed for the Automatic transmission and added a a floor shifter. Narrowed a bench seat, added a third petal and a 66 Mustang steering wheel.

I did keep the Small Block Chevy, but outfitted it with early finned valve covers and a plain chrome aircleaner.

The I shaved the bumpers and fuel filler door. I replaced the taillights with 39 Pontiac.

The tires received pinner whites and Cragar S/S wheels.

Most of this you can only see in the progress thread, found here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.p...ic=16930&hl

On to the pics.

Hope you enjoy.

Very nice. Clean, simple and to the point. I especially like the rear 3/4 view and the pinners and Cragars setup.

THAT IS ONE GORGEOUS HOT ROD! MY GRANDFATHER HAD ONE OF THOSE BACK IN CONNECTICUT AND DROVE IT FROM THERE TO HIS NEW HOME IN SAN DIEGO, CA. THANKS FOR THE GREAT CAR PIC AND THE MEMORY!

Looks great, how was the fit of the parts on this kit? I was looking at doing one sometime.
