WOW!!! It's been awhile since I've posted anything.....anywhere, but here goes. I built this for a friend, and it took awhile, but all's good. Chopped top, mid sixties Show Rod/Show Car styled '32 Ford 5/w coupe. I used a Cadillac engine, but with the engine block, oil pan, and pulley assembly from the new '49 Merc combined with the heads, valley cover pieces, intake manifold, and valve covers from a Roth Outlaw. It's amazing how well they bash with so many years between. Paint is HOK Sunset pearl, and Pure Ice fingernail polish, and the only kit chrome on this build is the wheels, headlights, and door handles, everything else is Alclad, or polished metals.

 

So, how 'bout some pics?    Ok......

 

 

Here's the only pic of the interior...

This might be the best example I've seen of the Revell 5-window to date, IMHO. Love the orange paint and that Cad mill.

WOW!!! What a sweet hot rod.Everything is spot on,is the grill insert photo-etch ? The tires look like big & littles from the '29 Ford pick-up,am I right ? These '32 Revell kits are number 1 with me,they certainly don't get old.

[Dr. Cranky]

A real beauty.

That is a gorgeous 5 Window !!!   Great example of what this car should look like ,  the color and details really set it apart from all the rest .  The steering wheel is one thing I noticed . . . very cool .
