But there was one issue...should I build the yellow version as the coupe or the roadster? Hmmm. Then I remembered that in my stash of old built models, I had a couple of more '36 Fords tucked away. (Yeah, I almost never throw anything away!) So I dug around in the storage closet and came up with five more! These were really old models; original issues of the '36 Ford that dated back to the early 60s. They were also pretty seriously hacked up, customized (some of my earliest attempts), and generally abused. But using extra parts from the two unbuilt kits, I found that I had enough to salvage one as a stock version. Bingo! Now I had the chance to build three different versions of the stock 1936 Ford.

But I still had four more-or-less complete models that I could do something with, so I started disassembling them, stripping away old paint and body filler, and swapping parts around to see what I could come up with. There was one fairly complete chassis and fender assembly that hadn't been too severely modified, so I decided to restore it to stock condition and add a resin humpback two door sedan body to the mix. That left me with three custom projects.
