A friend gave me a large box of model parts and kits. Some stuff was good, tires were good, a couple of chassis, and some good small parts. One not so good part was a 40 Ford coupe and another was an old AMT 36 Ford black plastic, the brittle one, they kind of got me! I figured I would make one body it would be for the CBP build at Fred's but it took for ever. Had a lot of issues with the brittle plastic. Here are some beginning pictures. Enjoy

:) That's pretty cool. I admire you for grafting the 2 into 1. Good job.
very nice save!!
Man Rich...you're doing some fine fab work here. Good job on that body and frame!!
Great job so far Rich. This is going to be very interesting to watch. You are the master of these NY. style modifieds.
Bob
These saves are great. I've been enjoying doing a few lately...this one is coming along nicely!

Oh yea...this is looking GREAT. Your bar work is spot on Rich..
hey,coming along nicely,would love to see that front end!
That body work us pretty amazing. Almost like building your own kit. I throw way better stuff than that in the trash. (I know my limits) Very nice start Rich.
Here is the front end I mentioned Pat ,it didn't post with the others. Learning curve. Enjoy Rich

Thank you all for the comments. I have more pictures to post soon.
Rich
That's gonna be one kool build!!!!!!!!!!
I really like this style of building...
Nothing like a good parts box build, or in this case bits and pieces, to get the creative juices flowing. Just from the looks of all the splices on the frame it appears to have also been a basket case. Looking forward to what you do with this one.
Here are more build pictures. Enjoy.
