Who built this model ? Artwork added

[john2]

   Does anyone remember who built the 3 window ' 36 Ford coupe, red, number 909 on Fred's ?  A real old war horse -  heavily aged, with the exhaust streak down the side, and pretty hefty tires ?  And the trimmed front fenders ?

May have been R and B 11.  I sure would like to talk to the builder  about it.

   I have just started the AMT ' 36 Ford 3 window.  Wondering about the compatibility ( in real life ) of some parts.  Planning to build it as an early modified. 

I want to use the pie face wheels on it, because I have never had one with  those. That would seem to call for narrow tires.

But, I also want to use the Pontiac engine with 3 carbs.  I am tired of building flatheads.  Not sure all that would be true to life.  What do you guys think ?

Of, course it is my model, so I guess I should do whatever I want to with it.  It is just plastic.

Is it this one John?

    As Pat Sajak would say, " Yeah, that's it. "  I have a picture that is the other side.  I do not know how to scan it for this forum.

Rick, I will send you a pm about it soon.  I have several chores I need to do. 

Thanks very much.

Cool looking Ford Rick.  Watchout everyone...John2 is up to something!

   Not really Tom.  I am not going to try to copy it.  I just like it a lot.  I am not sure it is a ' 36.  There must have been other pictures of it.  The way he did the front fenders made me think that.

[Tom Birky]

The shape of the doors and hinged at the rear would make me think it's a '34.

   I think you are right, although I  have never seen many '34 racers with fenders.  Anyway it is a cool car.

[john2]

   Rick's car is a ' 34, and mine will be a '36.  I wanted to check out a color scheme, so I got to fooling around with my picture of his car.

I taped it to the window, and traced it onto typing paper.  Then I outlined most of it with a fine point sharpie, and colored in most of it with colored pencils.  This is what I got. 

Haven't done any art work in 10 years, so I am a little rusty, especially on the shading.

Will be using Greg's decal numbers.  Hope that Rick doesn't mind that I did this.  Thought I'd share.

That looks like an interesting project John.
Keep us up to date when you get this one on the bench.
