My New Street Rod
« 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.

Bravo, John!!!  You nailed it!!!  I love the Cragars and the smaller tires and the color just does it.  I'm with David on the practical street rods that are drivable and fun to drive.  Just gorgeous, my friend!!!🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏁

Definitely not a trailer queen.  Beautiful work John, but then I wouldn't expect anything less.

Very nice John! Love the color, wheels, heck just the whole combo. You kill me with your paint jobs, would never know it was brushed until you told me. Great Job!

Whatever I've seen them in person and I'm still amazed at how smooth you get them with that brush of yours.

 :)  Thanks, J2.   Jon, I will miss you, but I know family comes first.  Hope y'all enjoy the beach.

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.
