34 Ford

wanted to build a 3 window 34 but havent seen one for a long time, i was given a box of parts that contaned the body of a 3 window with a chopped roof, i think it was a Revell kit of ZZtops 34, i purchased the AMT 5 window to provide parts, not many matched, the body of the Revell kit was wider so the bonnet had to be widened under the windscreen but retain its size at the radiator, the mudguards and running boards needed lotsa work to make them match up, but i am very pleased with the finished result.

looks ready for a rod run,colour sets it off.

I must have missed this one the first time round - great job on the conversion!

Incidentally, if you want to do another one, the Revell snaptite 34 body fits pretty well on the AMT fenders...

wow.. i missed this one too.. top job

thanks Bryce wouldnt mind doin anuther one of these, kinda hard to understand y none of the major manufacturers dont have a 3 window 34! i also have a resin ute waiting to b dun

You should be pleased with this one, it looks great.  That ZZ Top kit is just soo wrong and out of proportion.  On the other hand the AMT '34 Fords are not anywhere near right either, but the proportion is better.  The Revellogram naptite body is about the most accurately scaled there's ever been.  The original AMT 3 window was good too and the revellogram Thom Taylor Cabriolet  is also pretty nice but it'd probably take a heap of work to mate the ZZ Top roof to that body.Only one nitpick on your build if I may be so bold.  The running board rubbers are moulded to the metal panels and the rubber wraps around all four edges.

Nice work man,
