This is a 36 I have been working on for a while. It's a resin body (Jimmy Flintstone I think). has a Thunderbird engine from my parts box. The wheels are from AMT 32 Phaeton. I only have to do the interior, not sure what colour to do it, maybe a light tan or Desert Yellow. This is the final mock-up before assembly. Comments welcome............Frank.

Nice to see a Ford FE engine in a rod! A light yellow would look great on this one - Especially if you swapped the tires for a set of narrower whitewalls.

Me too. That ain't a bad color combo. Have to agree with at least the front tires. They look to belong on an off road racing truck.

Go get the wheels and tires from a Revell SW&C '41 Willys and get them under there. Then you'll be set! It's got a neat late-60s look with that color combo.

Yea Frank ya gotta lose the frt. tires. I'm saying small, very small. Hog out some of those Pegas. to fit your wheels. In some cases narrowing the Pegas.[can't spell the co. name], maybe on a hyby. Just my opinion. Buildem' as you like, isn't that the point anyway.
