37' Ford

[slk320]

I thought I would give this one a try. Its a Revell 1937 Ford. I painted it two tone Black/Firemist Red

I haven't polished the paint yet:





can't decide on the engine....What do you think...This one:





or...this one:







None the engines are completed...but I have to decide which one am I going to go for...the Monster or the little engine that could...

no one likes the little Ford eh? Well I am going to press on with this pet project. Has anyone seen a resin chasis for this one?

slk I've found not many likes street rods in general over here...I've gotten 2 posts on my 32...

your 37 is looking great to me, both motors have some great detail, I like motor 2 better though. so far as a resin chassis goes, I've not seen one, why are you looking for one for this?

I think they should both go in! lol seriously though being a STREET rod, go with the smaller motor. but if you are building a drag car...well then bigger IS better.

I love the 37! I have built the convertable with trailer (left out the trailer) and have the tudor sedan in my to do pile. You might consider snagging the chassis out of that testors '37 with the custom front end, they also had 3 versions the sedan delivery, a coupe, and a vert. The chassis is fantastic on those, but it takes some work, and the rest of the kit is good at best.

Don't get discouraged, People are looking at it, but there just isn't that much to see right now. You've already completed the motor, and the unpolished paint looks fantastic!

Little engine? Aren't they both Hemis? I don't think you can classify hemis as "little" Either way, both engines look awesome but I'd probably go with the second street hemi for the Ford, since it's a street rod and not an 8 second drag monster . The paint scheme is awesome by the way, the orange is gorgeous.

I like the second one best. Just use the first in your car and send the second to:...
lol
i like the orange and black a lot, i was looking at a Mono 40 ford pu just last night and thinking of using those same colors.
The 'wagonrod' may have a modern chassis to fit.

Well, that first motor has a Lenco tranny on the back, which isn't much of a street tranny.... if that helps narrow your decision.

Love the paint scheme so far!

Hehe ok cool - I will use the second engine - I am going to go through the chasis and try to sort it out - I want a real in-the-weeds stance

I think this is a great project and althou I'm with the second motor for this car, I think both are real gems.
