:) Does anyone remember who built the 3 window ' 36 Ford coupe, red, number 909 on Fred's ? A real old war horse - heavily aged, with the exhaust streak down the side, and pretty hefty tires ? And the trimmed front fenders ?
May have been R and B 11. I sure would like to talk to the builder about it.

:) I have just started the AMT ' 36 Ford 3 window. Wondering about the compatibility ( in real life ) of some parts. Planning to build it as an early modified.
I want to use the pie face wheels on it, because I have never had one with those. That would seem to call for narrow tires.
But, I also want to use the Pontiac engine with 3 carbs. I am tired of building flatheads. Not sure all that would be true to life. What do you guys think ?
Of, course it is my model, so I guess I should do whatever I want to with it. It is just plastic.

Is it this one John?

:) :) As Pat Sajak would say, " Yeah, that's it. " I have a picture that is the other side. I do not know how to scan it for this forum.
Rick, I will send you a pm about it soon. I have several chores I need to do.
Thanks very much.

:) Not really Tom. I am not going to try to copy it. I just like it a lot. I am not sure it is a ' 36. There must have been other pictures of it. The way he did the front fenders made me think that.
-
The shape of the doors and hinged at the rear would make me think it's a '34.

:) I think you are right, although I have never seen many '34 racers with fenders. Anyway it is a cool car.
-
:) Rick's car is a ' 34, and mine will be a '36. I wanted to check out a color scheme, so I got to fooling around with my picture of his car.
I taped it to the window, and traced it onto typing paper. Then I outlined most of it with a fine point sharpie, and colored in most of it with colored pencils. This is what I got.
Haven't done any art work in 10 years, so I am a little rusty, especially on the shading.
Will be using Greg's decal numbers. Hope that Rick doesn't mind that I did this. Thought I'd share.

That looks like an interesting project John.
Keep us up to date when you get this one on the bench.

Hey John! I don't mind you doing that at all! I love your artwork! Can't wait to see your build!
Rick :)

:) I deleted the ugly black box where my drawing and coloring of the car in question was. Sorry, but I got tired of looking at the box. Mine was blue and white number 222.
