1933 Dodge !

[fractalign]

Hey.

I started this one back in February and its been an on again off again project, more lately off than on.

I had been wanting to build up a 1933 Dodge model for a while but could not source one. I knew that Early Racing Classics

made a 1933 Plymouth coupe body but i wanted to build up a full model with accurate fenders, grill and hood. After asking several guys on different forums for measurements i was able to get the measurements i needed from a guy over in WESTERN AUSTRALIA. After sourcing an image of a 1933 Dodge Pickup courtesy of Google, i inserted it into publisher and added the measurements i needed before emailing it over to the guy in Western Australia. Once he emailed the document

back to me i was able to begin work. I should add that as well as the pick up pictured here i am also working on a roadster pickup version as well as a coupe and roadster version.

Even though this ones on hold at the moment while i finish off more pressing projects, when i do recommence the build i will put up some more photo's as i have some interesting ideas for this one that i would like to share around. STAY TUNED !

Nice stuff! Are the grille and fenders modified 32 ford parts?

And I just remembered I COMPLETELY dropped the ball on sending you the measurements for the '33 Plymouth I had access to. I sincerely apologize. It's in the paint shop now, and I won't have access to it until who knows when...it's already some months overdue. Sorry again.

What you've got going so far looks really good.

The grill and fenders are indeed modified 32 parts, although they are from different kits. The fenders along with the upper part of the cab are from the MPC switchers kit while the grill and firewall are from the Revell 32 kit.

Hey Ace !

No need to worry about measurements at the moment i have plenty but if you could get me measurement from the Plymouth Grill further down the track that would be great. I have decided that once i have completed the Dodges i will be doing Plymouth versions as well !
