Back dating Revell''s 1937 Ford street rod.
I've been working on this one since the new year. I ditched as much of the modern junk as I could.
I built a front cross-member for the drop axle and swapped a quick change for the corvette rear axle. I built new door panels from sheet styrene, swapped a 4 speed for the Automatic transmission and added a a floor shifter. Narrowed a bench seat, added a third petal and a 66 Mustang steering wheel.
I did keep the Small Block Chevy, but outfitted it with early finned valve covers and a plain chrome aircleaner.
The I shaved the bumpers and fuel filler door. I replaced the taillights with 39 Pontiac.
The tires received pinner whites and Cragar S/S wheels.
Most of this you can only see in the progress thread, found here: https://ozautobuilders.forumotion.com/the-workshop-f4/back-dating-revell-s-1937-ford-street-rod-t1165.htm#10023
On to the pics.

Wow Rob that is nice work. Thanks for describing all of your "hidden" mods, otherwise just looking from the outside I wouldn't have known about them.
