Oh still on what to build

[sandboarder]

I've got 4 kits on my bench that are 90% done so I'll finish them first and then have a look. Will probably build a 30 sedan or a 32 Ford

Ya I got four to finish to before I start a new one, Others I be working on have been packed away for a later day. Have worked it down to three kits a 37 Ford, 37 Chevy and a 39 Chevy, both Chevs are coupes the Ford is a tudor sedan which is looking like it might be done first.

Been having a think about this and I think I will try and build a 1932 Ford 3 window kit bashed with the Jukebox drag car painted a maroon colour. I mean the basic definition of a Hot Rod is a light old car with a high powered motor. Still want to do the 30 Ford sedan but that might be more rat rod with a flathead. I'll try and build atleast 2 Hot Rods next year as they are always fun to build.

Looking at a old Revell/Monogram 37 Ford two door sedan & the Revell 32 Ford two door sedan.
Old school Hot Rod dragster sounds cool, Not a fan of rat rods as most that I seen are badly done, the rust on them is way over board on them. You could do a old dirty barn find Hot Rod.

Had a look through my kits and will probably build one of these four but hopefully will build more then one. Thinking of doing the 34 as a fenderless Hot Rod first. Probably rather build the 1940s ute as a drag car so that's not really a Hot Rod and starting to have the same feeling about my previous 32 Ford idea although I still want to build it!!

That 40 pickup is a pig of a thing to build, You have trouble fitting the cab into the front fenders and the bonnet is a bad fit too, Inside door panels a tricky to fit so are the door hinges, With the 34 couple you have to glue in rear glass frame first & putty around it before you paint it, Did think on build up one of mine but will be looking at the two 37 Fords and two Chevy coupes a 37 & 39, might do a Ford and a Chev.

Making a start on the 39 Chevrolet coupe,starting with the engine then the chassis, on doing the fenders one colour and body another, At this time don't know what colours dunno will have a look to see what I have in paint.
Here is the coupe.

Cheers mate I'll be sure to test for those parts before I paint them

The 37 Chev will be a good Hot Rod. What engine does it have a carby 350? Using the same wherls as the box art or is there two sets in the kit??

The 39 has a 427 with a GMC supercharger on it, Thinking on changing the wheels to old school ones, Found I got some Sky blue and white so may use them, but lighten the sky blue a bit.
Also with the blue hings on the pickup the top ones are different in size then the bottom.
