Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Here is my '51 Chevy that provides motoring with V8 background music. Modified cars are really not my thing, so I build very few of them. Like I wanted a nice engine, I just dropped a Ford Thunderbird Special 312 V8 in the Chevy, complete with gearbox, and voilá, job done!! paint on this one is Tamiya Metallic Green from the spray can, followed by automotive two part clear. 1951 Chevy Fleetline V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy Fleetline V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy Fleetline V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy Fleetline V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy Fleetline V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy Fleetline V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy Fleetline V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy Fleetline V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy Fleetline V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr Edited May 28, 2014 by Lovefordgalaxie
jeffs396 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Nicely done! What a switch, a Ford engine in a Chevy!
Ramfins59 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Tulio, that looks really great. Did you have any trouble getting the inner fenders / firewall / chassis / interior assembly fitting properly up into the body..??
johnbuzzed Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 That looks really good. I like the Ford powerplant in the Chevy, it's not something you see every day.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks guys!! I hoped for some negative feedback, after all I installed s Great Ford engine into a not so great Chevy Tulio, that looks really great. Did you have any trouble getting the inner fenders / firewall / chassis / interior assembly fitting properly up into the body..?? Richard, the very first of those kits I built as a teen was a disaster. Then, I had the idea of gluing the inner fenders and firewall to the body BEFORE painting and assembling anything else, and that solved all problems. This is my third '51 Chevy kit built this way, and it always work like a charm!! 1951 Chevy building by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy building by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1951 Chevy building by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr
