Built these two a year or so before the new Revell kits hit the shelves. Both were done using the Monogram kits.





I've built several Revell 3 windows, and all have takin' up residency in other collections, and this is the only one I have pics of. This one was done as a more modern Hotrod look. I chopped the top, smoothed and blended the running boards to look as one piece, and bobbed the rear fenders, keeping the body line all around the lip. This was also my very first automotive lacquer paint job (I've never went back in 12+ years ) I used the wheels & tires from the Revell Prowler with detailed photo-etch "Ford" centers. The engine is from the AMT Mustang Cobra, as are the bucket seats. The headers are from the Matt & Debbie Hay T-Bird, and fit this engine swap, and frame like they were made for it!!!




A couple old AMT Vickies, both are gone, but I have several more of the kits to replace them!!





The last one I have pics of is the AMT Phantom Vicky, built pretty much box stock, and as a "Study in black" . I only used black paint, and colors based on black. Very minimal chrome, carbon fiber valve covers and oil pan, and a scratch built fuel injection system.

John:

Beautifully conceived and executed '32s. The 1/24 Monograms are especially impressive since there's such a large amount of work required to get them from the basic kits to your results. But they're all stunners. Two thumbs up!

i REALLY like John's black '32 3-window street rod! that thing is awesome! i love building mine rough around the edges but full of power, wish i could do a nice street rod build but i don't think i have the vision for it.

Dave

Same here !!! All of his builds look good, and the same with Lyle's . I'm glad I created this thread, or else I wouldn't get to see all of these magnificent builds !!! Let's pull some more 32's in to the thread !!!

[Jon Cole]

This one is from an AMT kit...





And this one here I showed recently...



BTW, this topic is great! I am in awe of the quality of builds. What other form of art starts out as a box of plastic?

[Sixties Sam]

I agree that this is a good thread. There is some amazing skill on this forum! You guys make my stuff look pretty ordinary. Nice builds, everyone!

[Ryan Quantz]

I posted this one a while ago, but I can't resist showing a miniature '32 in a '32 thread!

[vizio93]

Nice job on the 32's Jon and Ryan !!! Who makes that miniature 32 Ryan ?

[Ryan Quantz]

Highway Miniatures makes the little '32. It has some downsides, but come on it's a 1/87th scale meant for railroad display. I still scratchbuilt quite a bit for it...

Reminds me of the DRAG-ON-LADY ford that was on the front of the hamb poster few years back

[jbwelda]

heres one jerry amaral and i built up for a give away at NNL West a few years ago.







i built the V12 flathead and a lot of the chassis, and chose, no INSISTED that we use an Orange Crate body. turned out pretty super. i want to build another one for myself this time! but i would have a hard time matching jerrys superb tangerine candy paint job and graphics. whoever walked out of the NNL that day with this really got a cool model in my book!

yeah ok its kind of overshadowed by the autographed big deuce but what can a guy do?

[Agent G]

I've only done two 32's, I prefer the '29.

Revell three window, Pontiac 421, Chrysler rear end.

Revell three window minus the windows, channeled over the kit frame.
