K&R Kustoms+Rods '34 5ive Window Chopped Coupe Chassis modifications to accommodate the use of the Revell 1932 Ford Dropped Front Axle requires the grafting of the Deuce front rails, frame horns & front axle crossmember: Magnets have already been attached to the kingpins... Center front spring mounting tab had to be trimmed down... The Deuce radiator slots have been filled in... Tracing the position of the location of the Deuce rails & crossmember relative to the Willys forward frame marking the material to be removed from the Deuce front clip... Here the side view denotes the outline of the material to be removed from the Deuce rails... 1st mockup after the Deuce rails have been trimmed... Clamp the parts together prior to cementing the pieces together... There! Things ought to stay in place while the bond cures... This is how it appeared before final fit... With the smallest set of front tires gives a view of about how low the frontend will ride. -KK -

K&R Kustoms+Rods '34 5ive Window Chopped Coupe Before & After Interior Parts: Parts off the tree have been trimmed down to fit inside of the AMT 1934 Ford 5ive Window Coupe body/// The floorboard sustained the greatest degree of modification cuts! The dash & door panels received minor trimming while the back panel had to be reshaped to allow for the raised driveshaft tunnel & narrowed floor pan! -KK -

The Revell '41 Willys' interior fits well inside the '34 5W... Interior had to be trimmed here & there to conform to the '34's inner-space: -
