Steven2 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Done at last! This took far longer than I ever thought it would even though it wound up being a curbside. I badly miscalculated what it would take to channel the body and that's why the engine (and most of the chassis) got left out. It's built from the AMT coupe kit with the roof cut off, lots of filling in and vacuformed side panels for the bonnet. The windshield is scratchbuilt. The paint is HOK snow white with duplicolor aqua scallops. I wish I had made the ghost scallops a little darker but they are supposed to be "ghosts".

Sixties Sam Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Wow! That's just about the best looking '34 Ford I've ever seen! REALLY well done. The body changes are subtle, but add a l ot to the looks. Great finish, too! Excellent work! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Very nice! Clean, crisp, and uncluttered. And the color scheme and scallops are beautiful. Who needs an engine and chassis when the top side looks this good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Great modeling and craftsmanship. Really quite ambitious at every level and a completely successful outcome! Bravo! Great lines and proportions in the modern rod style. And the scallop job is super smooth and tasteful - love the colors, the gold trim and the ghost flames (which aren't too faint at all...)

Steven2 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thank you everyone. I'm glad the scallops look right to ya'll. I guess it's just that my test sample was darker and that's how I expected to see the car so they look a little faint to me now. I'll probably get used to them, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
