deja-view Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) I want to try channeling one of the ones I have waiting, but I've actually never done a full channel. One thing I noticed on the white coupe was the grill. I actually drilled holes and put thin steel rods into them for the vertical insert. But I doubt I can ever do that again with my failing eyesight and arthritis. I have so many projects I want to get back to, but our move from Vegas to NorCal has put me so far behind. Cramming a 3500' house with a big 3 car garage into one with about 2800 and a 2 car just isn't working. We already added a big garage with a huge deck above to the other end of the house, but it's still full of shop tools and boxes of "stuff". Somehow I will get back to these magnificent cars and all those decisions of "how" and "what" to do next......like what am I going to do for the next '34 grill??? Edited May 11, 2015 by deja-view
Tom Geiger Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Another thread back from the dead of 2012. Oh what the heck.... pi A '34 pickup / stake bed that was built by Tom Tremantano from the Liars Club. I bought it from him at a show, I never even noticed the NNL East plate until I got it home. My '34 Ford sedan. It has a Plymouth flathead six and has been sectioned a few scale inches. I built this one from the snap kit. Wanted to create one of those Sears slide in pickup boxes from that era. If I was to get a 1:1 street rod today, I'd rather find a nice '34 than a '32... they are just too common!
wayne swayze Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Not exactly what you requested, but there's a lot of 34s here, so here's my ZZ Top ( Monogram) . Built in 1988.
Dennis Lacy Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Here's a '34 Cabriolet I stuck together last Fall. It started life as the awful looking Thom Taylor kit. I used the body, top and frame then bashed or scratched everything else. I'm still quite pleased with it. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Here's a '34 Pickup I did a few years back as an early 60's Altered drag racer. I was going for a vintage box-art vibe. It was inspired by an illustration of the original AMT instructions showing building ideas by George Barris. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
Dennis Lacy Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 More recently, here's another '34 Pickup I built using leftover body parts from an original AMT kit. It's been chopped, semi-channeled, shortened bed and shortened wheelbase. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
blunc Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 wow, don't know how I missed this thread for so long... http://
jeff f Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 This is a great thread . Have always liked the monogram 33-34 fords. Here are my newest kids. [attac C]
horsepower Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Here's my '34 shop truck. Really like the "hand formed" aluminum hood look you achieved..
horsepower Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Great selection so far. The '34 is such a classic design that it makes a tremendous canvas for a wide variety of ,build styles. It's especially impressive what has been done with the lowly Revell Snap Fast kit.This particular build is one of my all-time favorites and I never tire of seeing it:There's also a great Australian ,hot rod and custom modeler named Bryce Michelmore. Bryce doesn't frequent the MCM board but he builds a mean '34. Here are some examples of his work (the first 2 are Revell snap kits) - hopefully he won't mind my presuming to share them with you all: Love that wine color, and how many noticed the Ford Y block stuffed in there? Excellent job.
horsepower Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Here's mine, AMT kit;Other pics here;http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=51349&hl=streetrod How about some more photos, and a few close up shots of your art work, killer car!!
horsepower Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) That orange coupe is pretty sharp, exceptional quality, only one point, I really think that it would need more than just the center block motor mounts, the transmission mount didn't get bolted in, because I know you made a nice tubular mount, possibly even chromed it that is why it is still in the shop. And coil overs and the old Ford buggy spring? Might be a tad hard on the back on a very long ride. Edited July 4, 2015 by horsepower
moparfarmer Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 There are sure some nice 34 Fords on this post..Great work guys/girls...
Lordmodelbuilder Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Couple pics of my chopped 34 Ford 5-window. Trying to replicate Cole Cuttler's real streetrod.
Mike Kucaba Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Phew! I need a smoke after seeing all these '34's
b-body fan Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 This is still a w.i.p.. I wrapped the grill from the kit with .10 styrene to make it look finished without the hood and sides.
Jantrix Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Really like the "hand formed" aluminum hood look you achieved.. Thanks very much. It's just BMF over the kit hood, distressed with a little 1000 grit.
