Alright so i thought i would share this project that is taking up bench space ;D lol.
It was a started project. A revell 40 ford goodguys hot rod. I started it by gluing the motor together and then stopped. So now it has a second chance at life.
I started out with a ton of parts from the parts box. They included a 55 nomad straight axel, 3 sets of sterring wheels, 2 sets of rims, 1 hemi, 2 1/2 sets of carbs, and some other random stuff. It then used a 29 monogram ford rear spring and a 37 ford front axel from the panel delivery kit and made my signature front straight axel set up(no one else has done it so...). The rear got the parts box quick change(dont know where it came from). I started off by accidently breaking of one of the axel housings so out came the evergreen tube and i made new axel housings. Then my 40 willys project from amt donated the rear springs. Little fitting and some pins from spruce to hold the wheels and it was done. The interior then was gutted of the rear jumper seats and a kustom roll bar was fabricated just in case the car rolls on a run down the track ;D Next came the motor. The orignal motor(the hemi that isnt pictured) was stripped of paint and kustom mounts made(not to realistic but they do the job) The motor was then painted in flat black and some detailing done. The carbs i stripped because of ugly mold lines and injector pin marks. The intake was painted in a high gloss silver. The interior door panels i painted white with testors red metal flake inserts. Same treatment was done to the front seat. I also painted the rear end today. I found a good set of wheelbacks for it and painted them tesotrs flake red. The whitewalls are hand painted too.
Enought typing Whatcha think?
Hope ya like it. Any questions feel free to ask i am more than willed to answere any questions

Where'd you get them pie-crusties at? Those are sweeeet! Nice job on the whitewalls. Just one question: 
How you planning on running 3 slicks? Am I missing something? 
.......and the trailer for it 
I got that 37panel delivery Ford what might look kinda cool..........WAIT A MINUTE! I cain't be havin' no FORD pullin' a CHEVY gasser! What am I thinking!? ;D ;D
). I was building a 41 chevy truck to haul my 51 gasser but as it goes this 41 chevy truck just didnt want to haul anything 
It wouldnt even let me paint it without having to resand and repaint it. So as of now the 41 truck for the 51 gasser is stalled and sitting on the bench(and if it makes me mad one more time i am donating the build motor and chassie to the flatbed 
;D
