[BERNARD "HOT ROD" KRON]

Mid 50's Era '36 Ford Sedan Altered

This is one of a series of drag cars I did over the summer that I showed over on Vintage Drag Models, Inc. I try to make it a habit to reserve my drag machines for VDM and put my other builds over here on Hobby Hangout. However, I thought I might show them over here for those that might not visit VDM and who might find them interesting. Apologies ot those who have already seen them on VDM...

This is my take on a mid-50’s style altered. Cars of this period typically started as street machines and gradually got gutted, eventually to the point where they were pure race cars with set-back engines, no cooling system or lights, stripped down interiors, etc. This build was based on a very rough Jimmy Flinstone resin body, his ’36 Ford “Rat Rod” sedan. It really wasn’t designed to be mounted on the AMT ’36 Ford fenders even though the body was based on the AMT kit. But I did it anyway. The body has a pie-cut section taken out of it so I had to remove material from the grill shell to line up the hood.

Thanx for lookin’,

Most of the car is an AMT ’36 Ford convertible with the exceptions listed below:

Main Body: Jimmy Flintstone Chopped ’36 Ford “Rat Rod” Sedan”
