Koellefornia Kid Posted May 23, 2019 Share 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).
