Rick Schmidt Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I wanna see yalls 34s I have an Amt 34 5 window street rod. I'm fond of the fenderless channeled look on my rods but am kinda stuck on this 34. I got the body channeled down some my go lower. where I'm having an issue is the Grille. I want to keep the 34 grille. I could take the easy way out and run 32 grille but that is no fun and not the look I want with a 34. Only way I can see this 34 grille working is with the hood top and sides but the shape of the sides clash with the frame shape. Can I get some pics of your 34s fenderless and channeled with or without the hood. Must have the 34 grille lol if ya have a hoodless setup could I get a pic of how the grille and radiator is setup ?
Greg Pugh Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Here's two of mine. The '34 Coupe has it's fenders and the top of the hood but it's sides are off. The '33 Tudor Sedan has got fenders but it's running with no hood. Edited August 30, 2012 by gpugh1976
Draggon Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Here are 3 views of a Revell 34. Note how the splash aprons form a transition from the frame rails to the hood sides. I checked the AMT 34 instructions and it includes these parts plus a radiator splash apron that would make the front end look more finished.
Junkman Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I really like this one. Which kit is it based on?
John Goschke Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 The ever-popular Revell snap kit with an early '60s Larry Watson-style treatment....
Greg Pugh Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I really like this one. Which kit is it based on? That's AMT's
Dennis Lacy Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Here's an AMT based '34 Coupe I finished a couple of years ago. It has been channeled, '32 grill with custom insert and re-worked hood with '36 Ford louvers. Also has a rear rolled pan created from the gas tank cover portion of the fenders. Painted Testors 1-coat Rootbeer. I was going for an early 60's Rod & Custom Magazine look.

Dan Helferich Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Beautiful Ford Dennis. It has that great " East Coast" look I love! That profile shot says it all, pure hot rod.

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Man I LOVE '34s. That is just one beautiful hunk of metal, and no matter what you do to it, it looks good. Gotta build more '34s........

Jantrix Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Even in scientific terms this is bloody beautiful. Thanks so much, it was a very fun build with all the woodwork. I have this one waiting on the shelf, I'm thinking about a highboy on a Revell deuce chassis.

SSNJim Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Here is one of my favorites, based on a yellow full size one I've seen. I looked again for the yellow one online with no luck. The full size one had widened rear fenders, wider rear tires, the running boards were a little more graceful than mine, and sat lower. This is the Revell SnapFast kit; I used both chassis for this car. I cut the fendered one to where the running boards ended (using the rear part) and the highboy one for the front. I bobbed the rear fenders and rolled the rear pan. The front fenders are Prowler fenders. The rest of the kit is box stock, except for the slightly lowered front end, and the upside down radius arms.
