here are a few pics of my '49 Ford coupe project. this is intended to be what my 1:1 will look like when i ever get one! it will have a '50 front clip and grille, which is why the front is primered. also on the list is a '51 dashboard. it's getting the 302/AOD trans from the Revell '32 Ford for power. this will be topped with a Weiand mini-blower from the AMT '68 El Camino kit. the wheels may change for a different color set. i originally was going with red, but tried this set for now. i may even go with Plum Crazy rims, not sure yet!

Very cool. I've been thinking of doing a 'project' car too, like what a 1:1 in progress rod I would own, if I ever get a 'real' job.

Saweet! Another Kool one from Dave's bench! I think that the engine is a GREAT idea. I've been trying to figure out what to do with the three or so I have laying around!

Actually, maybe the Drivers/Fools Kruise should be like this, current projects or 'what if's' if we could afford a car that we would build, under TRaK guidelines of course. Damn, the more I look at this Dave, the cooler it gets... Charles

Looking goooood! I like the wheel color with the black body. I think the '49 Fords are like '40 Fords - they don't need any major changes to look great. I've got to get to building one soon...

okay, i got most of the engine assembled tonight. still a few things to go on, but it's almost complete. tomorrow i'll give it a wash to bring out some details in the right places. the teardrop hood came from Ebay, not sure who makes it. i bought a few for different cars. they are nice quality though.
