REVELL 48 FORD CUSTOM

[oldscool]

a set of fenton heads and a scott blower with 2 carbs would be ideal..

I was thinking scott blower also or a wild six carb manifold.

i know that Norman has that market pretty well cornered and covered very nicely but there are those out there who do not use resin parts. something in a kit from Sharp, Offenhauser, Grancor, etc. would be a refreshing change.

I'll second that! A Frenzel blower wouldn't kill me, either!

Well, I would be a little more interested in this if it wasn't for the chopped roof. I might, however, pick one of these up to use as a conversion for the fastback that Jerry Koszut offers. http://resinrealm.net/-MCM/FORD/48Ford2dr/48Ford2drsed.html

As for that Olds grille.....I NEED to figure out how to make a '46-'48 Olds. The Galaxie Chevy is definitely the starting point, it's figuring out how to do the job properly.

a trad. hot rod versen with a corvette v8 motor and a scotts blower. and a finned air scoop with flames doeint sound too bad neither. that would be perfect for a chopped versen than a kusom. or maby a rat rod type of car.

The optional engine parts appear all new. The cylinder heads are Navarros. TB

Yes, your humble editor got a early present today.

[Jantrix]

Yeah. I spotted this on one of my FB modeling page. It does look VERY promising.

[Dr. Cranky]

I don't know, but I want one NOW too. Wow, that looks fabulous . . . and the brain fills with lots of ideas! Can't wait to see it in the stores.

[my80malibu]

I hear you Virgil, I want one too.

[Sixx]

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! man, I'm chomping at the bit!!!!!!!!!

[Gregg]

I don't know if I would build it with the side skirts or not.

But after mocking it up, maybe yes, but no to the rear fender skirt?

[Sixx]

Oh man, no fender skirts. I'm geeking, waiting to git a few of em!!!!!

[Chuck Most]

Not sure on the skirts- if they were a bit longer it would be a definite yes.

[Nick Notarangelo]

Dear Gregg I know you have a very busy life to lead,being the boss and all.....So it would be in your best intrest and well mine if I build that kit for you since you are to busy building other things and enjoying that wonderful lifestyle you lead.

what the hell I had to try something.

[Gregg]

Nick, that is very original. I love it!!!!

But, you never answered the question: Skirts, or no skirts, that is the question (keep everyone's dirty mind out of this one please)

And the rims, Bob Dudek's Cadi Sombraro ones, yes?

Two-tone?

Redish?

Flat head of course

or ????

Maybe some wild nail polish paint?

Nick, I'm still laughing....

[Kris Morgan]

Skirts or, no skirts? Easy, build two. One with, one without, duh(LOL).

[Chuck Most]

Not to knock the Dudek Sombreros (which are undeniably cool), how about those Replicas and Miniatures '61 Buick covers?
