Duntov Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Hi: The build is simple---and so it is one of my favorites --- ( I seem to have a lot of favorites lately!!!) A combination of the Revell 37 Ford street rod (coupe) and a few other kits -- The chassis is from the 40 Ford Street rod convertible -- I eased the rear portion of the front fender wells on the 37 to get the wheel base to "appear" to be correct... I used the 40 Ford stock seat and the flat head and exhaust system from the kit. I added aftermarket heads, a Parks wired distributor and some over sized but nice Weber carbs from the now ancient AMT 63 Corvette with some added venturi's from brass tube and scratch built intake---(the flat head is improbable but hey it looks good---to me any way) radiator hoses are made from soft bead tubing and the wheels and tires are from the Revell 65 Chevrolet pick up kit... pretty simple stuff really --- door panels are scratch built utilitarian style as is the single wiper blade and arm--- the license plate is made from wine bottle tin and an old California black plate kit decal and last but not least the exhaust tips are made from chrome sprue drilled out and painted flat black on the inside----that's it --- take a look--- hope you enjoy.. (Maybe the front end needs nerf bars??? I had a limited customization budget back in 1967 - when I would have built this thing in 1:1!!!! ) Regards Bill (Duntov) Front -- Engine views---- Rear --- Interior --- Edited February 26, 2014 by Duntov
blubaja Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Love it! The interior pattern works too! Nerf barfs wouldn't be a bad thing.
rmvw guy Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I love everything about it Bill. Just one thing, technically speaking I think this would be called a 5-window.
Duntov Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 I love everything about it Bill. Just one thing, technically speaking I think this would be called a 5-window. Yep ---you are correct Ron --- but then again I have had at least one glass of wine already!!!!! Bill
rmvw guy Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Yep ---you are correct Ron --- but then again I have had at least one glass of wine already!!!!! Bill Really should be called a 6-window having two seperate pieces of glass in the rear it would seem.. Bill, I'm just a little interested because, I have owned two 1:1 '37 Fords and never heard of a 3-window. Although the Australian '37 Ford Ute might be the exception.

Ron---- I was really dreaming here --- my apologies --- I was thinking about a different car --- totally different actually --- correction made!!! Regards Bill
rmvw guy Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Bill, No apologies needed except by me for hijacking your thread. Just couldn't keep my mouth shut. Sorry. I will say your engine is very interesting, I like what you have done there. I've always been a huge fan of the Ford flatheads. The photos are great too. I really like the interior ones. I like everything about your model, really!
