WIP:'31 Ford Model A

Now that I am back on my rocker..... I spoke w/ Privateer via e-mail to let him know I had a few ideas about the car he just finished! I didn't want Privateer to think I was copying his work!! He said go ahead!! So this is where I am... I will scratchbuild a frame, install a Pontiac motor and the wheels and tires will come from a modified racer! The first two pics show the stock body! The other four pics show the body with a 1/4" section taken out!! I used Tamiya 1/4" wide tape for the marking! Next up will be a chop of the top!!!!














Thanks again Privateer!!!

I managed to get the top chopped last night! I left the stock body in the background to show the major change after the section and chop! The engine is there for mock-up purposes only! This THING is going to be sick!! Hey Quadzero, the wheels and tires are from a Revell modified racer?????

i love how it looks so far, kinda reminds me of the Li'l Coffin, my fav rod of all time. i think it was a '32 Ford sedan which was a severely chopped and one low, mean, sculpted machine, not unlike this '31 ford project.

Re: WIP:'31 Ford Model A

Personally I think choppin it that low is the only way to go. It just makes this thing look sick!!!! Great job man..............*Ryan*
