’36 Ford Taildragger

Here’s my other new project. I know five windows aren’t as glamorous as three windows, but I figure with the right amount of work they can look just as good. Besides, it's all I've got to work with and I am on a bit of a 'build what ya got' binge at the moment.







So far I’ve chopped the roof, made some new drip rails and scratched up some rear fender skirts from plastic card. The look for this one will be fairly understated – stock hood, head and tail lights. Not too sure on bumpers yet but am leaning towards ‘40 Ford (does anyone out there have spares from a Revell kit?). Engine will probably be the kit flathead hotted up with some new heads and a set of twin carbs from my parts box. Colours will be dark green enamel and a tan interior. The Caddy Sombreros are from the Revell Merc kit I think (thanks Paul).

i like this style of car, very elegant... iv got some bumpers in the trade section if you wanna have a lookyloo.

Geez even an ant couldn't get under that - too bad if you had deep gutter crossings at home!

Seriously Bryce that's a fab looking build so far. Should look nice in dark green - bring out the smooth curves more I would think.

Lookin great so far Bryce! I agree with tezza a dark green would look nice

Nice idea on the paint, and it's a draggin, great start.

Very nice work Bryce! Very cool!! Let me know how you go with the bumpers have sets from a Revell 40 and 37 spare

Looks like your off to good start, I agree with slowlylearning,..I've always found this style of car to be elegant & classy.

now that looking wild,got set of 40 bars from AMT kit there yours if u want them.

Interesting build, but coming from Bryce, it will be nothing short of spectacular.

well i had never herd of a tail drager before but looks awsome nice job on chop top to cant even see it at all well done hole car is well done

Thanks guys - you're making my head swell...

Cool pic Paul - very similar to what I have in mind. Mine will be a bit shinier though.
