Koellefornia Kid Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I think I will never get tired to build versions of my favorite Hot Rod subject: ´33/´34 Fords. And after having built an Eliminator and a California Kid, I thought it would be nice to complete the trio of some of worlds´ most famous Hot Rods with a model of Jim „Jake“ Jacobs´yellow ´34 Coupe: The build is based on Monogram´s ´33 Ford street rod kit converted into a Hi-Boy. Up front I used a narrowed Revell ´37 pickup grille with a MCG phoetched insert. Front axle and headlights came from a ´34 snap kit. The wire spoke wheels from a ´30 Ford woody were updated with scratch built chrome rings. A Halibrand quick change rear axle was taken from Revell´s Henry J. Handles and tail lights are items from my parts box, license plates, wish bones and roof insert were scratch built. Jake´s Coupe is probably not my best model build but it was a must-have addition to my Eliminator and California Kid: Thanks for looking, comments are welcome (as always).
olschoolkid Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Very nice old school coupe. It makes a great addition to the Eliminator and the California Kid.
bbowser Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 The quintessential hot rod. All three look great, well done.
misterNNL Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Nice to see more rods finished and displayed. Thanks for sharing.
