Title: Gulf orange & blue modified
Post by: HAWK22 on October 31, 2025, 01:24:49 PM
Low budget model.
Redux built from parts & pieces in the junk box.
AMT 37 Ford body is 20 plus years old!!!

Did see this car race & win back in the early 60"s...

I like this. The body is a bit different looking.

Like most modified cars of this era, there were more than on version. But generally
a bobtailed 37 Ford with the same colors & sponsors. Lots of Evergreen plastic and
body filler on this one.

The original version I did also uses a more stock looking 37 Ford body and stock headers.

Thanks for the reply Hawk. As usual, your work on this one and all of your modified's is spot on.

maybe crazy but actually did a third version of the 12 using a bobtailed AMT 40 Ford body.
But only the latest version is for my own collection. The other two are in Florida.

Notice this one has a screen windshield
