(PICS) A couple of stock 33 Fords with some subtle upgrades
Years ago I built a couple of '33 Ford street rods from toy show purchases of a Franklin sedan and a Danbury coupe. Some of the left-over original parts languished in my parts bin for a long while until I got the urge to make some minor modifications to a couple of stock versions of those models....puting the more detailed, finer Danbury spoked wheels on the FM 'Dillinger' sedan, as well as adding the horn detail (from the FM sedan) that Danbury somehow forgot on their deluxe coupe.
These are all small and simple modifications, but ones that I'm delighted to have had the chance to achieve.
The FM headlight/ horn detail added to the DM Deluxe Coupe

The Danbury's finer spoked wheels added to the FM Dillinger sedan. The original FM wheel is also shown leaning on the fender

Below are the two Hot Rods (built years ago) that gave me the left-over parts for the Stock Upgrades

Incredible work! Wish I could do it, but if I did, they'd be a mess.
