Teddy J. Tannehill Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) This is a Revell "Fat Fendered " kit Built to look like a guys real car....I normally don't do this. But my friend ask me to build a replica of his car. In the back ground you can see pictures of the real car. One pic shows the back of the car, one a shot after the Hot Rod was first built...Then Jim decided to Give it a "Shave and a Hair Cut". He removed the bumpers, did a mod. on the tail lights, he also added a brake light....The kit came with a small block so I had to go to the "Junk Box" I found a 302 and rear ford rear end and leaf springs....Over time I found wheels tires, and lots of other parts to built a reasonable look a like. The real car is "Valley Ford Red" and "Dark Cherry".....I could not find exact matches....So I did my best .....Jim has not come to pick up his car. I will give a update.

1930fordpickup Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 The model looks good , but the wash seems a bit heavy in places. For taking parts to match a Hot Rod you did very well.
Dyno Davo Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Always a tough assignment replicating a real car, you did really well
