Restored '36

Thanks guys!!

Not to hijack this thread but I'd love to see what you could do with that '32 and '36 Ford conversion Tulio. Give it a go and post in the WIP.

I'm planning to do just that. The only thing missing is a 1934 Ford kit to get the stock wheels from. I may end using the '34 Ford frame instead of a '36. The '34 kit is more detailed. The engine even has a dip stick.

But first I'm going to finish my last build that I just started with flash removing, a 1936 Ford roadster, replica of the one from the movie Maxie.

That Dick Tracy '36 looks nice like all of your models, funny thing you can even see in the pictures the improvements in paint and polishing from the eighties and nineties until now. Don't get me wrong your paint is way above average, it gives it more of a daily driver look.

Since you do "Factory Stock" another way to use the '36 frame and flathead would be to build up the frame as a display like they used to do for the auto shows and or large dealer display. I've seen old pictures of the thirty's and forty's displays that look like they would make an interesting subject for the right modeler. Hint. Hint...

Got the hint

Thanks about the paint!!

That black Ford was painted with a spray can, as I didn't have an airbrush back in '91. There are places I polished good, like the hood, and other that have some orange peel, like the trunk. I polished it again when restoring it, but without sanding. I guess the old paint just refuses to "open a nice shine" after all this time.

The yellow Ford was airbrushed with automotive paint, and I hope it outlasts the black one shining like new. Even tough, I used synthetic enamel, to get a shine as close as possible to the original car's finish when brand new.
