This started with a quick sketch of a boat tail roadster. I made the engine from scratch using plastic tubing. The bell housing is made from clay. Then finished with some left over engine parts. The fenders are from a 39 Chevy kit. The rear fenders weren't completely filled, so I cut out a piece and repositioned it. Here are my assembled peices: The Chevy hood, the Chevy interior bucket and a 40 Ford hood for the boat tail. The front fenders also needed some filling in. First I painted the fenders, then printed out some wood grain material and glued it to the car. The lighter colored wood trim are plastic strips. I had to fill in the sides with sheet plastic and make a firewall cowling. I wanted to use the 39 Chevy grille, so I had to modify the hood a bit to fit it. The headlight buckets are made from a cut up sharpie. Return to Roadsters Car Models page
