RatRod Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Built this one many years ago, and amazingly enough it still sits in a dustproof case right here! Monograms Thom Taylor '34 Cabriolet. I always loved this shot....
DanielG Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 My thirty-ish truck, single rod support for the rad housing, it however negates any thought of blower, stacks etc. You could do the dual rod support either side for more stability than just having base mounts. By the way, Greg, that one one pretty red car.
Jantrix Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 John, Daniel, those are two seriously stellar builds. Awesome hot rods.
Bernard Kron Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) 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: Edited September 4, 2012 by Bernard Kron
Bernard Kron Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Here are three of my humble efforts on the '34, two AMT 5-windows and a Revell SnapFast:

High octane Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 This was a resin body with a32 Ford Chassis.. Steve Prideaux Jack Ditmar's "Little Screamer" I remember well from may days at the drag strip back in the 60's.
Guest Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 That's a beauty, Roger. That isn't my build Ken. That's Greg Pugh's great build. Someday, I want to build something similar to it.
Greg Pugh Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 This '33 is still one of my favorite builds ever! You really nailed it with this one Greg! Wow!! Thanks Roger!! You just made my day!
Danno Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 WOW! Great builds, you guys!! They're all great. Greg's red 5w coupe is beautiful, Ken's white 3w coupe and John G's Watson-esque coupe are exceptional, and John B's roadster is just money!
Bruno Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Here's mine, AMT kit; Other pics here; http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=51349&hl=streetrod
jdcar32 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Hope these shots help you. This an AMT '34 with the Monogram '32 5 window Hemi
Chuck Most Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 This one's a little out there. Grain of salt- this is the 'shrunken' '34 body, taken from that awful Revell 'Saints' street rod kit. Remember the underscale '34 body proportioned to fit the Buttera T chassis? Yeah, that one... I used the grille from a Revell Kurtis Midget, but it might look a bit puny with the larger, closer-to-correct-in-size AMT body.
ScaleModelAddict Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Here's my '34 shop truck. That is really, really cool.
Jantrix Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Thanks Scott, it was a lot of fun to build. More pics in my Photobucket. This one's a little out there. Grain of salt- this is the 'shrunken' '34 body, taken from that awful Revell 'Saints' street rod kit. Remember the underscale '34 body proportioned to fit the Buttera T chassis? Yeah, that one... I have this kit too. So I'm guessing this one won't fit on a Revell deuce chassis then? Edited September 6, 2012 by Jantrix

Lunajammer Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Fantastic! These two shots really wake me up. I might have to keep these as references.
Jantrix Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Jon, its always a treat to see your work. You guys should see this in the flesh. Cliff....................WOW! Just beautiful.
