Hi there. this project started last year...I didn´t really know what to do with this one so I made some trys.This was my first idea: But during the time I made some changes......Bodywork,bigrims,crazy paint etc....Only one picture because it doesen´t fit to this board rules but it´s needed to tell the whole story.... In may 2007 I had some big waterdamage in my hobbyroom and the model learned to fly...it was broken....I thought waht a mess it will be with all the work and time in it.......so to make a long story short I started to rework the ´32...First the rims were taken off and also the fenders etc....New wheels with ford hubcaps,a new engine taken from an 67 Mustang 350 was my mind.... But it was only the direction where the ford will "fly"to.... The last changes I made last week.Made a topchop,a new frame shortened the grill and added an Flatheadengine....painted some red primer to it to look where the body needs some sanding....and that´s the way it looks now....and will still until it will be finished.. The framerails were milled out on my CNC milling machine so it´s one piece. More progress soon, Cheers,Chris

now THIS is a good reason to show that modern "street rod". i like how it's turning around, trust me it really DOES look better in traditional dress!

Those are all great changes. I have to say that the original blue/green color combo looks great together !!! You have a photo of that frame? That sounds like a neat part !

awesome little coupe! i really like this thing! i was happy with the way you had changed it to when you had it unchopped with the Shelby engine, but it definitely has a cool look to it now! Dave

Hi there, thanks for your kind compliments....I got a lot of things done on this one. ddlova:Maybe I built another one of those rods with the Shelby engine an unchopped body. geezerman:Here is a picture of the frame: This is the second frame I made for a good friend of mine..... I got the body primered in red and after that painted it in an green tone.The rims will be painted in a creme yellow white....couldn´t better explain the color..The engines are only dummys...I´ll definitly use the Flathead....... More progress will follow,soon. Thanks for looking. Cheers,Chris
