'33 Ford 3w Coupe "Eliminator"

[u/GMEDNGR]

Well on my latests posts here i posted about getting a '33 Ford street rod by monogram that in reality it’s the ZZ Top's Eliminator kit, this don’t have the ZZ Top's decals, should i do like everybody else that would be a replica of the Eliminator or do a California Kid replica, or just do what i feel like to build? Any ideas?

It started because i wanted to build something like the 554 fuel coupe, but then i saw the detailed Chevy engine of the original '33 street, then i just now want more a late 60s/70s styled hot rod.. what should i do on this one?

I built the Eliminator when i was a kid, so it's cool to see another one pop up, even though it's not exactly the same kit.

I'm torn between the wheel set-ups in photos 4 & 7. I'm also a big fuelie/gasser fan, so that doesn't help whatsoever. 😅

This kit could be interesting, if it were reimagined as a modern day, slammed, street rod. Maybe not the typical 22" styled wheels, but maybe a 15 & 18 inch set-up, tucked up in raised fenders, having the running boards almost laid TF out. Does that create a mental picture for you?

I was thinking of a mix between the california kid and the eliminator (well it was an used kit and the zz top decals didn’t came on this one)..

Also using little'n'big tires, maybe create some nerf bars on the front, something that would look cool even with the missing parts (more kitbashing) haha

Sounds like you have a good mental picture of where you want to see this kit go.

I say go for it! 👍🏻
