1939 Ford Modified
« on: May 31, 2017, 08:44:06 AM »


I've had this old body around for years. Got it in a collection. Used one of Trackbounds modified chassis and running gear under it, with a few changes. Somebody hogged out the windows so may have to do something with that. But that's me, just keep flogging away and see what comes out. Keeps life interesting.

 :)  That is the best kind, Rett.  Looks fast to me just as it is.  Will be anxious to see what she looks like when she hits the track.

Man Rett...it looks like a few Modifieds that run on the Vintage circuit up here in Washington. I wouldn't change to much. It looks really cool right now....

Well, it's painted finally. Been a little busy lately but hoping to get it lettered up sometime this week. Getting anxious now....

I've finally reached a point where I'm having a problem with Photobucket! Seems I can only upload one pic at a time. It may be my computor. Soooo, I'll post this one and see if I can get someone here to straighten me out. This is another "save" of Trackbounds. Started out his was a 36 body. Instead of shortening the frame I shortened the body in the back.

Nice!  Great job on this one, Rett.  I love those fat steamrollers.  8)

I wasn't so sure about this one (that stubby tail scared me a little) but now that it's painted up, it really looks great!!! I might even stub off the tail on one like this in the future.
Scared me too, but what the heck, go for it. I did and it ain't too bad. Guys did some different (read weird) things back in those days....lol
