36 Ford Truck, swapping sheet metal

[Tony N]

I was just looking at the latest car culture Deluxe and saw this 36 Dodge truck and love the sweeping fenders on it. I thought they looked a lot like the 36 Ford car sheet metal.

So I grabbed an old Monagram 36 ford kit and cut the fenders off at the part where the running boards glue in at. Then removed the 37 Fords front fender at the edge were its running board stop and a little super glue and tape and got this.

So this was to easy and I am sure this has been done before. So now if I could just stop starting new models and never finishing them. I have two models that are almost finish, but I have just little things to fix on them to get them done. Must be that ADD or that other problem many of us have.

This is interesting, walked into Ron Andrews' basement( owner Race Motor Replicas), and Terry Kinnear (of Machined Aluminium Specialties) had a VERY similar project on the bench....De'ja vu ?

Tony, I REALLY think you shoud go ahead with the Dodge. It's a killer looking truck, and entirely different from what I'm doing with my '38 Ford. Just my opinion, but that Dodge would be really something spectacular.

Bill,

I am going ahead and building it as a 36 Ford truck with a passenger car sheet metal. It won't be the Dodge but hopefully the same feeling. I don't want to go to crazy with it. I have three other models going right now and need to finish one before really getting into this one. I put it up on the form because, no one else I thought had build one like this yet.
