Orange Sherbet Kustom 36 Ford 3 window coupe
Hear is my custom 36 Ford three window coupe. It has had the roof filled and smoothed and a 57 chevy front clip grafted onto the chassis. The only way I coud get it that low!! The car features a supercharged chevy 409 Engine. It has a fair share of tuck and roll and a nice flat paint colour. I wanted to give it a bit of attitude.

deuce coupe = 1932 ford, this is a '36
scratch the dizzy = scratchbuild the distributor as opposed to buying a premade aftermarket one

LOL Naa... planes aint for me. I built a few as a kid, but never really got into them, nor militery models. Just don't hold any intrest for me. There have been some great dioramas built though. I just wish us car modelers had the same support as you guys. I did join a local club back along but always ended up sat in a corner, as everyone else in the club just built militery stuff so i left in the end.
