1937 Ford Panel Delivery

Hi guys, this is something a bit different for me, old and almost stock. All i did was add a tri-carb set-up, and a set of wire wheels from the spare parts box.
Apart from a bit of detail, the rest is box stock, paint is automotive acrylic, blue over grey.



thanks for looking

Very nice Dale. The color works well and I love the open sides on the engine bay. Sometimes a little is just enough. Great work.

nice wheels

Great colour Dale, suits the shape nicely.

...nice work.

Nice work , a few mods on a stock build - looks so right.

That's one cool panel truck,cool colour on it,look's like there is something missing from the centre of the wire wheels.

Looks great DeeCee, got a real "Resto-Rod" feel about it. I dig it.

Good job. Very nice.

very nice mate ....

Thanks fella's, yes Allan, there is something missing from the wheels, i found 4 wheels in the box of bits but no way in hell i could find the knock-offs, vacuum food i reckon mate.

could you put very small nuts on the centre or round cap.

Bit late now Allan, once it leaves the work bench and hits the shelf " it's done!" thanks for the idea anyway, maybe next time mate .

Great job, good colour and nice rear wheel offset.

Nice rod you don't often see done, looks good

That beautiful, almost bought a kit of these days, is a car pretty much really. Like carpet, but I think it was kind of weird in the Bank, I know there quite a bit out of range I think.

Hugs.

Great job mate. Looks fantastic.

Missed this one, nice clean build mate, like it

Thanks again fella's, appreciate your comments and feed back.

Dale...mate!... looks fantastic. I'm in the process of starting the
Revell '37 Panel Delivery but what i would like to know, buddy,
pal, mate, ol' chum, how the "flock" did you do that interior?....I'm building mine
as a "******" van but with my own custom interpretations.
I'd love to be able to incorporate that interior into this build. If all works well,
I hope to post this build on the forum when finished.

Cheers
 

WELL!  I didn't expect to see this old one again, you must be spending days going back through all the older builds.
As you have already said, "FLOCKing" mate, i usually lay down an enamel base, as it dries slowly,  in a very similar color
to the flocking i am about to use "Kens Kustom Fuzzi-Fur", sprinkle it over the paint through one of those tea strainers from the supermarket, this takes out any lumps in the fur, do 2-3 coats of the fur to get a good coverage, then leave it over night before shaking off the excess. 
Good luck, be sure to do it over a plate of bowl, to recycle all the bits that don't stay on the model bits.

Thanks Dale... I actually bought this kit from a hobby shop in Perth 'bout 4 months ago. Because I built the '37 pick up (the blue one I posted when I first joined this forum), I knew I would have to build the van. So now it begins, but as I mentioned, I want to do something just a bit different with this one?. So how it will turn out is anyones guess. But I do want to have a crack at that flocking work.
Cheers f' now
 

 great job, it all looks great together
