1939 Ford Sedan Brit Stock Car Style.

A highly modified and scratched model.

The 'rumpled' roof is made from alluminium cooking foil to simulate having been rolled numerous times and then beaten back into shape with the aid of a 'Big Hammer'

The stubby exhaust headers are made from alluminium tubing.

The mud is real and was 'flicked on' with a stiff brush!

so this is the cars they race on dirt tracks in England Al ?

Not any longer craig, but ot was back in the day.

Hi Mr Skid,

I do like this, love the side steps/protection bars, may I ask, did you bend the front chassis section or is that part of the original kit, if you did bend it, how did you manage it with a square section please...

Andy...

Thanks Andy.

I assume you are refering to this piece!!



If so, I have no idea. I don't remember any bending and the WIP is long gone. I think maybe it's part of the original chassis.

Buck has the model now, so he may be able to shed some light on this.

That's a really cool build sir .............. had no idea the English raced on mud ............. I like it !!

The model is in my Museum now. Looking at it I don't see that the frame was heated or bent. I think it was just cut off, or shortened. I am going to see if I have this kit so I can compare the frame to a stock one.

The frame has only been shortened at the front, here's one I did some years back.


If I remember rightly, only the bumper irons are missing.

There you go.
