Looking at the various stages of your build, I really like the no roof version, it has a real Procal look to it. (I know it's not what you were asking though)

I'll have to buy shares in the super glue factory, the front fender broke on me 3 times while trying to form it thats why i build it up with nikky to give it some strenght.I dont mind the look with the fender once its moulded into the body and painted should look smick.

I've just had another look at all the pics and have a question that might seem a little picky. My first instinct for the color was because the shape you have done the roof is for a soft top on a Roadster, whereas the 3 window Coupe, or the 5 window Coupe have a much more vertical rear window panel plus 'A' pillars. So, are you doing a Coupe, or a Roadster with a roof? I reckon the latter, and leave the roof so it's removable.

The front fenders on these swoop back further too, almost to the bottom of the doors.


Keep 'em coming Scotty!!

I just noticed in your last pics that you've already filled them in a bit...

Im doing a coupster they were very rare model,and yes theres still a bit more moulding to do on the fenders. i have chosen a colour its like another harliquen colour i think its called monte carlo, its black mainly but throws of reds,blues,green yellow etc on the flips were light hit it and hopefully the chrome for rims, motor etc, should look fantasic.


In the plans they call it the optinal hardtop and it has a rear window im not sure if im doing or not yet.

A rare Model Allright.
Ford designed it back in 32.Made 2 proto types and put them on display at the 32 Detroit Car show.Due to the depression and low sales of cars at the time they decided not to make the production model.


Anyone suck in this story???

Ok got the other side fenders made and cutout out and glued all in postion.Got pics with roof and without.

I am glad you got a new camera.I was worried that we might miss the finished model
Thank your wife from us forumites.it was great that she let you use the new camera.

Still a bit to do yet, mould the fenders into the body,make grille,two pack primer on body,make headlights,steering wheel,paint and clear body so still about 10-20 hours to go.you started yours yet.
