37 Ford Custom Update 9-11-13

[cobraman]

Next build will be the Lindberg 37 Ford kit in the stupid box that opens on the ends. This is the same kit as the Testors Smoothster. Have started some modifications to the body. I have added trim to the fenders which will be foiled after the paint job. Also adding some strips on the rear fenders sort of like open skirts. Just trying something different. Car will be yellow or blue most likely.

The body looks really rough, Ray. Did you prime it? I wouldn't shoot yellow over that dark a primer.

[cobraman]

It is just a working coat of primer. More body work needed and there will be a wet sanding and a lighter primer prior to the color coats.

Can't wait to see more Ray!

Anxious to see how this turns out Ray, keep it going!

[slusher]

Looks good Ray never ever looked at these kits that does look nice may have to find me one of these! Wife says work on the house first LOL I will be buying one of these somewhere.Are they a full detail kit ??

[cobraman]

Yes it is a full detail kit and so far it looks pretty darn nice.

The chassis in the kit and the LT1 motor is probably one of the best examples of a modern Boyd street rod. I have builf the smoothster and the coupster and they are tons of fun too build.

Making progress on this one. It's kind of an experiment that I am not sure yet if it worked. I did some mods such as the body at the rear wheel wells and added trim to all fenders which were covered with BMF. I filled the tail lights and drilled new holes for them. They are recessed in the body. Still needs to be finished and touch ups are still required. Thanks for looking and comments pro or con are welcome.

I like the chrome on top of the fenders and the jury is still out on the rear wheel well. Maybe if you would have thinned out the inside a bit I'd like it more. But who am I? It's your build and it's SHINY

[cobraman]

I don't disagree with you at all. I just like to try different things. Sometimes they work out, sometimes not. Many times something looks better in my mind then in the finished product. Ya don't know till ya try sometimes. I was going to fully skirt the front and rear wheel wells but changed my mind.

[Wonderbread Kustomz]

I like it... its different than the normal and thats a good thing... Cool points for your work...

[Modlbldr]

I like it very much. I think that the chrome strips on the fenders are a nice touch and the strip at the bottom of the fenderwell would benefit from thinning the back a bit, but it suits the car well. Nice job all around.

Later-
