Some time ago I noticed a picture of a nice conversion. It was a
Model A Coupe converted to Pickup. I liked the idea so I started digging in the stash and parts heap to see what I had. And I was lucky. I had a new '30 Ford Model A Coupe kit and a spare '30 Ford Model A fender assembly. Both were from Monogram, the Special Interest Series, and in 1/24 scale. Time for some serious cutting! First I lengthened the fender assembly and the chassis, including the driveshaft and other parts, with about 2 centimeters. After that the Coupe body was reworked. The rear part of the Coupe body with the dickey seat was removed and replaced with a straight piece of bodywork. The pickup bed is a heavily modified pickup bed from a '34 Ford. After al that work, the rest was pretty straight forward. I designed some decal work for the model too. Actually, the name Carter popped in my mind when I visited the Spotlight Hobbies Message Board which is hosted by... Tom Carter. The color combo maybe not original Ford, but I liked the combination of gray, black and red. |
