Hot Rod Cord



A junked, fenderless 1965 Monogram Cord 812 body and partial interior I bought on ebay and turned into a roadster-style drag racer.




The chassis and big block 454 are from the AMT '53 Ford pickup. The carbs and intake manifold were lost, so these were scratch built along with the roll cage and fuel tank. The seat belts and headers are from the AMT '56 Ford Victoria kit. 


The headlights and windshield were left over from the Revell '32 Ford Sedan and the grille is off an old Cadillac.


M&H slicks, wheels and Gofer vintage sponsor decals were bought from the ebay store, Model Car Mountain.
