34 Jalopy
« on: September 20, 2019, 10:50:20 AM »
I just finished this one. It's a 34 Ford Jalopy. The Body is an AMT 34 5 window coupe on a modified Revell 37 Ford chassis. I made the wheels from AMT 36 and Revell 37  Ford wheels. Tires, rear end, front axle, brakes and flathead are 37 Ford. Aftermarket resin artillery seat, scratchbuilt roll bars, hoses, headers, seatbelt and radiator mounts.

I really like this! Simple enough for a jalopy but everything is there. Good dusting effect too.

Excellent build. The level of weathering is perfect. The flex pipe headers really add a lot to the realism.

I didn’t notice the relocated steering box. That is very authentic on flathead powered cars. The original location was way too close to the exhaust and caused steering box failures. In fact a flathead powered early Indy car failed to finish for just that reason.
