traditional Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I've just completed this channelled, chopped '34 Ford coupe using a diecast body (originally full fendered) with many handmade parts in styrene, aluminum and brass. The wheels, rear tires, engine (bare block and valve covers), quickchange (center section only), and basic hairpin radius rods are from an old Monogram California super-modified, and the engine detail is mostly handmade....dip-stick, mesh filters,fuel-lines, linkages, wiring, plumbing etc. The exhaust headers and conical motorcycle-style mufflers are turned and fabricated in aluminum, as are the shock brackets and the individual leaf rear transverse spring suspension. The traditional bench seat is handmade in styrene with the pleated inserts taken from a Revell Monogram deuce roadster kit. Louvres were added to the trunk lid, floor and trunk carpeting is in felt, and the paint is custom mixed basecoat/clearcoat
