1936 Ford Roadster

[crazyjim]

Here's my '36 Ford Roadster. I used HOK stratus blue as a basecoat and then several coats of HOK oreintal blue, and then some clear. The original chassis had an exhaust system molded in so I cut away everything from the frame rails and glued Evergreen sheet in its place. I used solder for the exhaust and polished aluminum for mufflers and exhaust tips. Frenched the rear license plate and taillights. The engine is wired & plumbed and has a oil level dipstick. The original interior tub was sanded smooth and new panels made from Evergreen sheet. The seats are my castings and the console with gauges is more Evergreen.

Beautiful! I love the wheels and engine but never cared for the old AMT knobby looking tires. Not meant to bea criticism of your build.

NICE move on the chassis,Jim! Cleaned that rascal right up! It came out nice in all, My big budder had a freind who lived at the end of the block, Mark, who owned one like it, only a deeper blue with white interior. I'll NEVER forget THAT car cause it was the first one i EVER saw a rolled and pleated wheelwells!!!

Thanks fellas. If I had more time, I think I would have tried to widen the fenders and put a set of Pegasus wheels/tires on it. There's a show Saturday and I wanted to complete this and another build for the show.
