A.R.C. Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I havent posted many pics of my finished rides since I`ve joined here and figured its about time I did. I`ll start with the one I call Dirty Vicky. Its an AMT 32 Vicky I built a few years ago with a few mods. A sectioned body with a chopped top. I didnt want to Z the frame so I reworked it in the front to give it a little more swoop. The motor is out of the AMT 53 Ford flipnose p/u with carb and velocity from the bottom of a parts box. Tires and wheels front and rear are from the 56 Ford Victoria 3n1. As a lot of you, I build all my models as how I would build them if it was a real ride but of all the builds I`ve done, this is the one I would bring to life if I could.

rmvw guy Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I dig it! Looks like you had a lot of fun building this one and still having fun with it. You just can't beat the nostalgia of old AMT '32s. These are the type of cars I love to see at 1:1 car shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton79chris Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Very nice. Is the grill photo etched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.R.C. Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks guys. I did have a good time building it. Even though its a relatively simple build its my favorite one on the shelf. I look at it sometimes and think, "man I can only imagine how nasty some thing like this would be on the street". Its the original grill Wheaton. I just gave it a light wash, added solid black paint in select spots then gave it a light spray with a plastic prep which dulls and crackles the chrome.

Lunajammer Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Jeepers Adam, that's got attitude. I think that crazy interior 'wallpaper' is the first time I've ever seen anything like that. Very original. Daring, but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.R.C. Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hahaha, geez I must have did a good job if ShinyJim even likes it. I cant take credit for the idea Luna. I saw this done in a 1:1 34 Ford coupe about 10 years ago. I lost the pics of it or I`d post em up. It was dont up in a salt flat racer style and was to this date the coolest coupe I have ever seen. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.R.C. Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Thanks Al. TJ the bike is a Jesse James miniature from Maisto. I refinished with the gold flake and white seat. I call it Vegas 73.
