1936 Ford Coupe

[ModelcarJR]

This is the 35 year old "Dick Tracy" AMT kit. I painted it Brilliant Blue with a Krylon Satin Brown Boots interior. I used the engine from the 1960 Ford F-100 pickup that I have just finished using a six banger. I didn't add any plug wires, etc to the engine. The rumble seat works and I substituted tear drop taillights that happened to be on the chrome tree for the stock taillights. I also didn't use the bumpers and brackets from the kit as the brackets were too long for my liking and I don't really care for the Art Deco style of the stock bumpers and taillights. The tires are wider than the kit tires from the parts box and I painted the wide whites using a circle Template cut onto an index card and taped down with four pieces of doubled-over Tamiya tape. I used Tamiya white primer spray on the tire and touched them up with Tamiya Acrylic white. Wheels are also from the 1960 Ford F-100. The side mirror is fashioned out of an extra mirror plate and a straight pin. I think I need to blackwash the engine and the wheels a bit but haven't done that as yet. Thanks for looking! ?

The 36 is one of my favourite fat fendered hotrods and yours looks great. I especially like the colour coded grill. Well done John. 

Cheers,

Great looking paint color and finish. The changes to the bumpers due look better and the way you did the grill painting. Like the engine choice.

Great take on this little kit. I have built a few of these and enjoyed it very much. Looks really nice in that color.

A very cool 36, look's like the type of hot rod and custom you see in the pages of The Rodder's Journal. Love the look of this nostalgia rod.
