Here's my '36 Ford.. Shaved roof and trunk, cowl, wides whites in the back from my parts box, stock front wheels. Rims are from the Revell 1964 Thunderbolt. Paint is Plum Crazy. Modified suspension, Engine is from kit... that's pretty much it. This was my first "real" custom and I am custom'd out.. haha

here's the pics..

Very cool! It has to be the Revell kit am I right? Love the Plum Crazy paint and the whites.

Nope, it is the AMT kit.. The one with the black car on it. Thanks! I like the combo too...

Great Chop!

Real Nice Purple Paint too... B)

Thanks Ira, means a lot coming from you.

Surprised!!! I thought the AMT kit had molded in exhaust? I really like th AMT version better because, it is in 1/25 scale verses the 1/24 Revell kit. The Revell '36 does have a nice hood with see through sides and a great flathead engine. Looks like you did some frame mods anyway.

It does. I trimmed the crossmembers and all that stuff and smoothed the chassis and then made custom frame supports..

Good looking Ford Hot Rod! I think you nailed the wheel and tire choice. Stance is also perfect. Nice work with the engine as well, overall a very clean build of a nice car.

Only thing is that the pictures are a bit blurry. I think this good model deserves better pics. ;)

That's some radical body work. Very well done.

I just have one thing to say as a positive criticism. You have to add a wishbone to that front axle. Just the leaf spring won't hold it.
