The 34 is getting closer to being done.
-
I am now working on a 34 Ford coupe but this one is going to be a 4 cylinder version.
-
A junkyard here in SW Ohio has a couple but the parts you need might be just as bad as what you have.
-
Many years ago I was at a junkyard in Northern Michigan and I seen a 350 Olds motor that had a throttle body and injectors in the intake and would that have been a Seville motor.
-
If the picture was taken to the area close to the river you can still go there but the area on the dam side has been closed for years and very overgrown.
-
I think I am done until I get my dental work payed off,I need about 300 dollars worth of material from SMS and 75 from a local supplier to redo the back seat and door panels unless I can find something to sell or hit the lottery. Its going back togather tomorrow night.
-
This car being a very late 55 production is kind of messed up,it has 56 parts and had a fourth color in the interior where there should have only been three. On the back of the front backrests are a insert similar to the front but with no pleats and it was a light blue like what was on the rear panels too,its very hard to find another that has a original interior and since it has 56 parts I think they ran out of the green and substituted a light blue that almost looked similar when new but faded much more then the white and green. I was going to put that light blue back in but could never find a match and could not get anyone I talked to on the phone at the material companies to get what was going on.

I would like to build one of those Dodge trucks again,it was in the mid 70s when I built one.
-
I got my sewing table done except for it to be wired up but I am able to use it so I have been doing some repairs to my 55 sunliner,it started out as some upgrade to the hidden stereo system and has morphed into finishing the interior,I redone the front seat a couple years ago and never did put the piece of vinyl back on that went under the rear cushion so that has been done and since I had material left over I redone the lower rear panels. To do the upper rear panels I will have to order material so I decided to get enough to do them along with the complete rear seat and door panels,the door panels will probably get done next winter but I want to have all the material in stock so I can do it any time I can.

I have several old models that need to be redone and several kits that still need build, just can't get motivated. Still can't get over the price of models today.When I was building them, $2.00 or less was the going price , now they're $25 and up! I did manage to get motivated to build this a couple of years ago when I wanted to try my hand at 1/6 scale scratchbuilding. This is the engine from my '36 Dodge. It's constructed of wood, plastic and brass. The chassis is a Model AA Ford in 1/16 scale. Everything but the engine and front axle is scartchbuilt. Neither one is finished yet! If you love modeling and haven't checked out Roger Zimmerman's post under Our cars and Restorations, you must do so. This man is amazingly talented!
Those look great and much better then i could do.

They look great.
What scale?
Are these scratchbuilt?
Or are they the AMT issues? The 37 Ford--is that Revell-Monogram?
If not scratchbuilt, then who is the manufacturer and scale?
Can you provide more details? Especially about the 1937 Ford.
Thanks.
The 37 is a Revell/Monogram 1/24 that I picked up already started,its a streetrod kit that I put a stock 40 chassis under it with a Y block from a AMT 57 Ford,the others are all AMTs and I did not know what paint was used so I made it look like it was a project car pieced togather.
-
It just has been too cold to work in the garage so I have been in the basement working on the smaller scaled versions,the black 40 sedan is one I built back in the mid 70s and put it on a new chassis and repainted the interior. The red home made p/u was made from a junk body that came close to going in the trash and extra parts.

I am confused by your statement... it is not like either club cost a lot of money to belong to.
Right now that 40 or so dollars could be used for more important things,money is going to be tight for the next few weeks due to bills that come around this time of the year.
-
I can just see it if my 37 Chevy is down for repairs and all I have is one of my Fords to drive to one of their events,they just get too wrapped up in their brand to accept others.
-
Since I usually own multiple brands I got myself in two single brand car clubs and thinking about getting out of,I am in the VCCA since I have a 37 p/u and in the CVA since I have a 55 Sunliner and I am now a member of the AACA . For someone who likes a bunch of different brands single brand clubs is kind of a waste of money and time so one or two has to go so I need to make up my mind and since I might be buying another 55 Ford the VCCA might be the one that I will leave first.
-
My 37 Chevy has no interior light,I picked up a light that was supposed to come from a 30s GM truck but I think its from a panel that had a rear light and I am going to see if I can make it work.
-
Yes I do and its not going anywhere,since dad bought it new I want to just keep it for local driving and find another to take on trips. If what ever I find gets totaled I wont be as mad as if it happened to the convertible and can get a replacement much easier.
-
Does not need to run but needs to have a decent body and be complete within a reasonable distance from the Dayton Ohio area.
-
All the late models in the background can be entered now.

Thanks to whoever was the one to identify it,I got busy and could not get back to it right away.
-
It was worded like I asked the question again so it was deleted,I never had responded to who ever posted after me the first time.
-
I got looking through my deleted emails and found a response email saying it was deleted,I do not know what is going on but I never responded to any of the comments.

Posted a picture of a tank that my friend thought could be automotive that ended up being for a kerosene stove and before I could get back here to thank whoever identified it the post is now gone so what is going on around here.
-
A local junkyard has a few 57s,when I had mid 50s Oldsmobiles I think I read in a shop manual that the convertibles had thicker frames in the X area so I presume the Buicks would be similar.

GMCs used Olds motors until they got their own around 39.
