Title: My New Street Rod
Post by: john2 on June 13, 2017, 12:44:09 PM: :) Here is my '37 Ford coupe. Box stock except for the contemporary mirrors that Doctor K. sent me. I did choose the options of the smaller wheels and tires, and the fuel injection engine.

Brushed, as usual, with Testor's acrylics. I put just a tiny bit of green in the white, and got just what I wanted.

This car has been a ton of fun for me. Hope y'all like it. Two more pictures coming.

I do love street rods. In my younger days, never could afford one to piddle with and learn on. Needed my car for daily transportation.

Post by: john2 on July 23, 2017, 06:19:55 AM: :) I have deleted the ugly black boxes where my pictures were. Sorry I had to do that, but I am tired of looking at them. The black boxes, that is.

Post by: john2 on July 23, 2017, 11:52:12 AM: :) Rett, that is because Photobucket replaced them with the ugly black boxes, which, to me, are very distracting. I am not going to pay them any money to keep them.

I would have deleted the whole topic, but you cannot do that after someone has replied to it. You have to leave at least one character, thus the little x.

Sorry no one can see the pictures anymore. Once I get a model completed, and learn Flickr, I will add them back.
