Re: V-8 Ford Models
Vic, I was able to manage all of it: Girls, Real Cars, Model building, Girls and plus four years of Varsity Wrestling (and all the great social invites that come with being a Varsity Athlete) and I made it okay.
Tony, my hats off to you, I didn't participate in sports in High School, I worked at a grocery store after school and on Saturdays (at $1.00 per hr. minimum wage, I earned $28.00 a week) so I could afford to pay my dad back the $60.00 he loaned me to buy my '48 TuDor Sedan (I paid $100.00 for it), also to keep it running, put gas in it, and have enough money left over to take a date to a movie and maybe pick up a six pack on a Saturday night. At that time I was more interested in making some "front page Drive-In news"...

Re: V-8 Ford Models
I made some progress on my 1/8th Scale 1932 Ford Roadster. I painted the frame rails and they turned out really good. Suspension pieces have been assembled and attached to the frame. It is starting to look like something.

I don't know if any are being produced presently. I bought my 5 window Coupe resin body some years ago. The guy who made mine is dead. All I can say is keep trying the internet. Since these pieces are hand made and are rare, I would imagine the prices will go up over time. Good luck. |

Re: V-8 Ford Models
I am in the process of building a 1/25 scale "41 coupe. I cut the front end off of the "41 woodie and am trying to mate it to the 47-48 coupe body. For the back end I'll just file off the 48 lights and glue on the '41 taillights.

Re: V-8 Ford Models
Here's my '36 phaeton. This is an aftermarket resin body mated to a '36 AMT coupe as a donor to add the nose and chassis. I was surprised and pleased to run across the resin phaeton body. Photos with a cell phone, not too good.
