John Moss '34 Ford
« on: November 06, 2017, 05:24:38 PM »
The start of a replica build from the late 50s & early 60s.  The only original '34 Ford kit parts used here are the body, bare chassis, and dashboard.  All other pieces were parts-box pieces and scratch-built.  Engine from '40 Ford kit, radiator core and rear bumper are balsa wood.  Models like this seem really simple but as I found out they are still pretty time consuming, but fun!

Looking very good so far. I love replica's so I can't wait to see more.

I'm also anxious to see the finished build and the real car photo.

Where did you get the 34 model kit?

This is really looking good Bob. No my friend...Replicas are not the easiest thing to build..and your doing a great job too. I've also got at least 5 more of them to do...in my life time that is...LOL
