Thanks, I'm sure i will. I'm building this for my dad as a thanks for teaching me car stuff as a kid and building models with me. It was something I really enjoyed and smile about when I think back.

The Specs:

The model kit is the AMT 1936 Ford Convertible 1/25 Scale

What I have done to the original model was chop off the fenders, cut off the grill on the body and removed the body parts in between it and the body. I'm working on a way to do simulated rust along the bottom of the body. I am a rat rod guy so most of the things I build will rely on that skill.

Paint specs:

Anything silver on the model was done in testors 2734 Silver Argent

the roof (painted what looks like desert tan) was already painted and so was the body (looks like a rattle can flat black).

the engine is a 1/25 427 cobra engine. I need a wiring kit and headers for it.

I also need some tail lights.

Neat little build, welcome Josh

I like this project. I dig fender-less rods of the fat fender era. I've done a '37 myself.

One big improvement I could suggest is better photos. Try a camera with a macro function (lil flower symbol on most cameras) and as much natural light as you can find.

Looking forward to seeing more.
