Wild '37 Ford Coupe -Progress-

[mike@af]

Heres my side project from the scratchbuild as a kind of stress reliever. Also, all the sudden hot rods are popping up every where, which I am glad to see.

This '37 will have a reshaped roof, chop top, section, frenched lights and propbably more than I can think of at this time. I might do suicide doors as well.

Heres the pictures of it stock and then I will get to work on it.









Now to get to work.

Can't wait till more progress.

sorry bout being negative but the mods dont sound wild sound like all the other gimmicks you add to a street rod

[primera man]

I've seen a few of this kit build ans they are awesome

[willimo]

Sounds like a fun build, there. The white plastic body shell looks more inspiring than the box art though, no wonder you don't see many around here.... The mods seem pretty cool. Make it a nice, classic rod. But, I sort of like the shape of the front end without the hood and grill. If I didn't have 150,000 other projects in mind I'd give it a hard think and do something with it....

i think u should do without the hood and 2 side panels! just keep the radiator shell there! or maybe the shell with part on the hood molded to radiator and wiper cowl. something different

[PyRoTeKniKz]

Im not into rods but make this sweet Mike! lol

[customminatures]

nvm about my hood idea! was thinking of a different car! LOL

This is kind of a side project relaxation build. The big hot rod had stressed me out to the breaking point. This one requires a load of work, but at least its a lot less complicated than the big one.

Most hot rods usually just have a section, chop top, frenching, suicide doors, and a modified motor. Just wait, it doesnt sound like much, but when I am done with it it wont look much like a '37.

The box art is horrible, and the pictures of the actual model on the side almost turned me away. Then I designed a '37 and I fell in love with it.

The fabulous Wally-World. I only found one, I want more.

-----------------------------

The chop top is about 70% complete. I will be making an in depth tutorial for it.

Pictures probably later tonight, tutorial sometime tomorrow hopefully.

what exactly is frenching? I cant chop the '40 since its a convertible. I am blending the rear fenders into the body though.

its when the headlights or taillights are recessed into the fenders typically cars with fat fenders
