(click the image to go back)
Lyle based this model on a Replicas & Miniatures
Co. of Maryland resin chopped '40 Ford body, mastered
by renowed car modeler Rik Hoving. This body sits on a
Revell/Monogram 1940 Ford chassis and interior. Changes
underneath include front suspension from a Revell/Monogram
1937 Ford Stret Rod kit, rear from an AMT/ERTL 1934 ford
kit, Mufflers from an AMT/ERTL 1969 Oldsmobile 442 kit,
an engine/transmission combo from a Revell Speedwagon
kit, and wheels and tires from Pegasus. Lyle bent up a
set of wire hinges for the hood.
