This is a Jimmy Flintstone chopped 36 Ford “rat rod” sedan on AMT fenders, frame, etc. Inspiration is this very cool drawing which I have used as my avatar at times:
The grille has been smoothed and sectioned slightly to align the hood with the section in the JF body. The motor will be the injected Olds from the various AMT ’40 Fords. Wheels will be the kit wide 5’s with Firestone pie crust slicks on the rear and Modelhaus T-110’s on the front. No lights, bumpers or radiator and a healthy setback on the motor.
So, before committing myself to decals, I've had to ask myself what class would this run in circa 1959? I’m thinking the early stages of the Mooneyham Sharp 554 coupe which gradually evolved from a streetable car, gaining a chop and a setback and losing lights and a cooling system, and eventually its fenders, on its journey to pure Altered bliss. So, since it's probably a bit on the porky side, maybe C or D Altered...
Thanx for lookin',
B.
