Sherman 18
Master at Arms
I dug these parts out of the parts box about a year ago. I put them in a container and put that in a box out in the garage. A couple weeks aggo I moving stuff around out there and ran across it.
Last night I made the move to stick some of it together.
I have not posted anything for a while.
Not sure if this will ever be finished, but this is what happened last night. The part that counts is I had a good time doing it!
hyeah
My thought on this project was to make a '50s or early '60s look.
The base kit is Revell 1929 Pick Up kit. I went through a bunch years ago. I still feel that it is the best Model A kit ever done. The other kit I plan on using is the Revell 1937 Ford Pick Up
Pile of parts
I started with this frame. I had already cut it up.
I cut the floor out of the body and made slots on the back for the frame. Yeah it going to be channeled over the frame.
I cut the floot out of the bed.
With the frame cut up. It was time for the Z. I thought I could get away with just doing the rear... :idonno
The frame with another kit frame
Test fit the body
Testing a place for the drivetrain. I thought about using the Model A engine, but the flat head looks pretty cool there.
Time for the floor. With body channel it has to make a trans tunnel.
Yeah I made the hole to big, had to repair.
Also glued my fingers to it also. :pinch:
Test fit
Finishing the rough in
Z to the front part of the frame. With using the wheels and tires from the 37 kit I eyeballed it and thought it was to high.
More test fitting for the end of the night.
