    Does anybody know what kit this started as. I got it in a junkyard lot I bought on ebay and kinda pieced it back together. It was made with ala cart style front end and fins on quarters. Somebody has shortened it at some point. Looks like it based on a 40 ford 20200216_133310.jpeg 20200216_133318.jpeg 20200216_133429.jpeg 20200216_133339.jpeg 20200216_133354.jpeg 20200216_133410.jpeg 20200216_133306.jpeg

    The front end and the tail fins are black molded plastic. But the rear has been closed off. Its definately different.

    I thought that grill looked like something that I have seen before....I have one, was that peice originally a custom grill from a kit...the peice that I have has clear plastic on one side so I always thought it was a custom headlight insert for a larger scale kit.
    I just have the one...thats a cool find ...I think old builds are cool even if they are somewhat funky sometimes. 20200216_124905.jpeg 20200216_125111.jpeg 20200216_125405.jpeg 1581887646702~2.jpeg

    Ok...I thought that when I first found it but I remembered the original Ala Kart having a square mech grill, the real truck, and now that I have seen a picture of a model kit online I see that it is.....I guess they can't be exactly the same....thanks for the info...now I know what some of the other parts that I have in my boxes of parts go too.
    Here's some shots of the real truck for reference if needed. 20200216_142717.jpeg 20200216_142541.jpeg 20200216_142611.jpeg 20200216_142627.jpeg 20200216_141203.jpeg 15818921900137188980049693696705-2.jpeg

    I did some scratching around on backside and what I thought was moulded black plastic was paint or primer. That means that somebody chopped up amd customized this which makes it so much kooler.

    It definitely started out as a 40 ford tudor sedan, going by the beltline trim peice and the location of the trunk lid handle, as seen in that photo of the bottom side.
    If it were a sedan delivery the beltline trim would stay level and go around the back .
    And of course its been shortened and had the top removed, along with many other things...I had a top for one but I just used it on another project.
    Looking forward to seeing some of your work. 15818983465183830757047358300009.jpeg

    I like chopping them up and building them out of parts from several different kits....if you were to turn that 40 into a half cab sort of pu thing...I have a roof section...
    My problem is I cut them up and start making modifications then I will start another one from a idea that usually comes to me while asleep then it gets put away and sometimes I don't get back to them for a few years...
    The body that I posted actually started out as a junker 36 ford roadster a couple of years ago. 20200216_163757.jpeg 20200216_164118.jpeg 20200216_163955.jpeg

    That cool Phil..
    I have a couple of the small scale Eldon Pontiac's, the orange one and the yellow t-bird have never been run on a track.
    I have several track sets and cars...plan is , someday, to combine them all into one large layout that has a pike's peak sort of set up that drops down into a valley with a long sloping straight stretch that leads into a portion of a high banked tri-oval then back up into the mountains.
    Its in line with all of the other some day projects.
    Sorry for being a little ot..actually the 32 and the 55 where model kits to start with. 20200220_095205.jpeg 20200220_095137.jpeg 20200220_095058.jpeg
