1929 Model A Roadster Pick Up

[Sherman 18]

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.

That is turning into a nice looking RPU. What colors are you looking at for it, since you are dropping it into the weeds. I like how its coming along.

Thanks, not sure on the color. I usaully plan a color as one of the first things, but I'm trying something different and pick it out when it is ready for paint.

Had sometime tonight to work on the pick up

Started on the fire wall

I tried to test fit the bed and found out I would either have to cut the sides of it or redo the rear of the frame. I went with change the frame,

I went and started with making a frame that fit the inside of the bed

As some parts dried I started to fit the seat.

Back to the frame. New cross member.

I shortened the frame I made for the bed, and then added it to the frame.

Another test fit

I going to try to use the dash from the '37 Ford kit.

Finish the night with some mock up photos.
