Here is my 1937 Ford Delivery Truck that I'm entering into the Group Build.

Since it is a 1937, I thought this would be more appropriate:

Thanks! I'm very happy with the way the body came out on this one, my best paint job to date
Brian...just Tamiya TS-14 sprayed out of the can, but I did take more time in prep/primer work and didn't rush it this time. Definitely need to work on my metallics though, maybe I should spring for some Alclad. Also, check your PM's about the German GB.
Dave, it has a little red on it now...in the form of a decal
Calling her done, still debating whether to add the number decals. Pics posted to the gallery, thanks for another great GB!

James: I really dig the old school greens on your panel van!
James: Your Ferrari is perfect the way she is, much more elegant and purposeful looking without the number

Did the headlight covers fog on you, or did they come that way?

Good deal, the number debate is over
I painted the headlight covers aluminum to mimic this, as I was doing the race version (they are lighter in person than the photos show):

Great builds so far gentlemen.
I have found an "ancient" Monogram 1934 duesenberg in the deepest darkest parts of my stash. the kit I got as a kid. I was way to young to build it, but not to young to apply an awful green paint all over the parts. Later, still way to young, I gave everything a dark blue coat. The parts have been soaking in ovencleaner severel times, but that +35 year old Humbrol enamel paint just won't give in, at least not all of it. I am currently trying to remove the remaining paint, with scalpel and emeral cloth.
the plan is to make it into a barnfind.
On the workbench:
MPC: 1972 Pontiac GTO
Revell: 1965 Mustang
Verlinden 120mm guard of the marine.

I'm going to get one more build in here......
I'm thinking of doing the 'custom' version, but with the headlights fitted......black with some flames that are left over from another car.........
