Ramfins59 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 In case anyone is really interested, here are some pictures of other Street Rods that I've completed over the last 15 years. The 32 Ford Phaeton was a side build while I was working on anther car that was giving me fits at the time. It came out pretty good and gave me the inspiration to continue on with the troublesome one. The 32 Ford Full Fendered Roadster was a fun nostalgic build. I don't remember which flathead engine I put in it, but I had fun detailing it. The seats are flocked in a flame pattern, and the model is named "Hotseat". The 32 Ford Chopped Sedan is my version of Hell Rod. The body is from an old Orange Crate kit. The engine is a tunnel ram 426 Hemi that was also a lot of fun to detail. The theme was flames and skulls. The interior has scratchbuilt flocked, flame patterns on the dashboard, door panels and headliner. The 34 Ford Cabriolet was a Monogram kit that I put a Chevy 409 engine in with a photo-etched MCG grille. The 34 Ford Pickup was originally part of a before, after and after that theme. I buit a totally stock 34 Pickup, then built a completely abandoned and rusted out 34 Pickup that had been converted to a flatbed after years of work and abuse (a Junkyard Dog), and the 34 Pickup Street Rod was after the rusted up one had been rescued and then rebuilt. The 36 Ford Convertable was a sMonogram kit that was also a "quick build" while I was working on something else which was more involved. Lavender and Purple seem like perfect colors for a 36 Ford. The 37 Ford Cabriolet was the first "decent" Street Rod I finished back in 1996. It is basically what I call a Box Stock build with wiring, flocking and a photo-etched grille. The 39 Chevy Coupe is my attempt at building a Lowrider "Bomb". I used the chassis and engine from a Monogram 37 Ford Coupe kit. Lots of extra chrome doodads and trim. It was a fun build. The 40 Ford Convertable is again, what I call a Box Stock build, with engine detailing, flocking and photo-etched grille. The paint is metallic blue with a urethane clearcoat. The 40 Ford Pickup tested my flocking skills on the interior, with the yellow and green diamond pattern. The chassis and engine are from a Monogram 37 Ford kit. The pickup bed is scratchbuilt from balsa wood. It also has a photo-etched grille. The 48 Ford Woody has an Oldsmobile grille from the Modelhaus, chrome reversed wheels from a 59 Corvette kit and the interior is flocked in a 4 color plaid pattern. (My wife challenged me to flock an interior in a plaid pattern after I did the yellow and green diamond pattern on the 40 Ford Pickup, and the flames on the 32 Roadster. It took me awhile, but I did the plaid pattern.) The 34 Ford Junkyard Dog was my one decent attempt at making a rusted, worn out, abandoned vehicle. I used a lot of Rustall, and some Weatherall on the wood. I tried to weather, dent or ruin almost every part on this model. The dog on the flatbed was a resin, running German Shepherd from a train accessory pack. I cut off the legs and repositioned them, along with the ears. The bone that he has is a leg bone from a Little Coffin skeleton. This was a really fun build that I did about 12 years ago. I didn't have to worry about making it shiny. The worse everything looked, the better. As you probably noticed, I really love using photo-etched metal grilles. They look so much better than the kit grilles with blackwashes. I hope I haven't bored you all with my stuff, and I thank you for looking. I will also be posting some pictures of Customs that I have finished over the years. I really enjoy building traditional Rod and Customs.
scalenut Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 post away ! ,, great job on the old junker, it deserves a nice dio for display
jaymcminn Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Nice work, Rich. I remember some of these from old issues of SAE!
deathskull59 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 there all nice cars i like the hell rod more though.
Bobdude Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Rich,Whose photo-etched grille did you use for the '37 Ford?
Ramfins59 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 Re the 37 Ford photo-etched grille, (back in 1996) I think I used a piece from Accu-Pro who is unfortunately no longer in business. I think that MCG makes a photo-etched set for the 37 Ford though.
