1/16th scale 1934 Ford HiBoy
Here is my new project. The kit is Revell's old '34 Ford. I am building it as a fenderless Hiboy. The kit is not too bad for it's age, it came with a beautiful small block chevy. The interior is pretty decent, and it came with a set of pretty Halibrand wheel's. However....I am using an old blown 426 Hemi from MPC ,big and littles from a Muscle Machine diecast, and am planning on opening the doors which will require surgery on the interior. These pics are just mock-ups. Being 1/16 scale means there will be plenty of room for detail, and some scratchbuilding.
What you think???  This pic is for reference....thats a 1/25th scale 34 Ford next to it.

Re: 1/16th scale 1934 Ford HiBoy
I won it on E-Bay. It wasn't cheap. Here are a couple of quick shots of the body after the doors and trunk were cut out. You can see the interior has been cut in the second pic. I am adding to the floor pan to cover the frame where the car was channeled.

You have this looking great already.
Fenderless with those big n littles will give this a very mean look. Nice job on the doors so far

Ok guy's here's a little progress. The hinges are made and working.
 The jams are about finished, they need cleaned up a little. I ordered paint for it today, House of Kolor Kandy Tangerine over Tangelo pearl, with Pearlwhite ghost flames.

ok...A little more done. The front and rear suspension are mocked up. I made new coils springs for the rear and willl be making some for the front. I need opinion's on the car's stance. What do you all think?
   I found some new seats. I think they are better than the kits seats (kit seats= yellow).  Also found a couple goodies for the trunk.  Still tons to do......
