"Well, I have finally dug into the deep pool of hot-roddery fog and dug out a couple of V8 Coupes.
For a group focusing on hot rods and modified vehicles, most model presented are pretty stock.
Here I present two modified 1932 V8 Ford Coupes:
Lime: a recreation of Lego Nr. 8302 'Rod Riders'
Orange: a recreation of Lego Nr. 8641 'Flame Glider'
Both models in Lego are substantially the same, as are their minland recreations shown here. The cars wear the circa early 1930's Ford 2-door coupe body, chopped (reducing the roof height) and channeled (lowering the car on its chassis rails). The wheelbase has been increased at the front, and the radiator cowl moved forward. A colouring of the curved windscreen part provides a lovely rear fender form.
Both cars are fitted with the vee-four lego piston engine (replicating the V8 package), driving the rear axle. As with the Lego Racre set, both Rods are fitted with massively oversized Supercharger cowls. The engines differ in their head treatment.
I think the form still needs some development, but its not too bad for an early try.
This Lego model had been created in Lego Digital Designer for Flickr LUGNuts 54th Build Challenge - ""LEGO Set Overhaulin"" - celebrating all things Lego with recreations of original sets.
Hot Rods Ahoy!!"
