50 Ford Roadster, finally finished

[oldnslow]

I finally got back to this one and finished it up, makes a nice companion for my coupe.

tried my hand at an eyeball shifter.

the 57 interior worked out OK.

added some polished aluminum tube tips to the exhaust.

added a little wiring.

[Rusty Sierra]

that's real nice man...what's the engine out of?

[crazyjim]

Most excellent, Robert. Looks like the phantom Vicky engine. Would that be a FAST '40 Ford pickup back there? Gotta have it done for the Pumpkin Run.

[W-Machine]

Very cool, indeed.

[rmvw guy]

That is sweet! I love the soft top from every angle, is that a kit part? Love the stance also. Nice model!

[slusher]

Very nice build...

[tooltas]

[oldnslow]

Thanks Guys,

Rusty - the motor is out of the Phantom Vicky, stock with fuel, vacuum and throttle lines run.

Jim - you didn't see that, LOL.

Ron - it's the kit part, shortened to fit the new interior length.

Like the artillery wheels, nice on a shoebox. Cool hot rod stance too.

[H.A.K]

Nice.

[Dennis Lacy]

Nice looking '50 but I'm really digging the Buick powered '40 Pickup in back ground. Can't wait to see that one done!

[RatRodMarc]

Nice build like the paint what color is that

That truck looking pretty sweet in the back to

x2. Looks like a Revell '37 Ford chassis and where did you find a 1/24 nailhead?

[oldnslow]

Thanks again guys,

Marcus - the paint is Malibu Girl nail polish I picked up at the flea market, it's called tequila sunrise, got funny looks when I bought about 20 bottles of different colors for 5 bucks.

Rob - the buick came from the Orange Hauler, it's a drop in, even the mounts match up.

Thanks again guys,

Rob - the buick came from the Orange Crate, it's a drop in, even the mounts match up.

Ummmm, the Orange Crate is Oldsmobile powered, a 1/25 Revell kit. I'm thinking you mean Orange Hauler, which does in fact have a nailhead buick...a 1/24 Monogram kit.

Just trying to help.

Really like your exterior color choices and the late-model power, by the way.

[oldnslow]

Yep, you're right.

Thanks for the catch.

[deathskull59]

cool car are those 37 ford wheels on that 50 ford.

[Helix]

Looks good, like the updated power plant

[oldnslow]

Nathan - wheels came from the 37 pickup kit

[PARTSMARTY]

THE CAR IS COOL-VERY COOL-AWESOME MOTOR AND I LIKE THE STACKS OF TIRES IN THE BACKGROUND.

[oldnslow]

Thanks Marty, Yep, lots of stacks of tires, after 50 years of building and collecting they start to pile up. I've probably got 2 or 3 thousand stashed around the garage in cigar boxes, model boxes, on loops of wire and in drawers and these are just the one's that were easy to get to.
