Glad you switched the wheels! Much better choice! Great stance, and I like the engine upgrade too!

I was able to get a couple of the AWB Novas, an Opel GT, '32 Phaeton and the "Corvette". I have to admit, I get suckered in because these are cheap. I don't mind the Novas because I build mostly drag cars, so I will do something with them or the parts, same with the Opel. I want to build a later model gasser out of one of those and was glad to get it. Even the '32 is a good parts car, but just an FYI, the Corvette is not good at all and the parts are not even great. I knew better and bought it anyway, figuring I would pull the good parts and make some type of drag car out of it. I did not realize the body is "Palmeresque" in nature. Yikes! More power to you if you dig it and you know what it is, but if not, I would highly recommend leaving it on the shelf.

Love it! One of my favorite kits!

FWIW, that kit is very basic and is either snap together or snap based. It originally had plastic tires, it probably still will.

Fwiw, any of the AMT Trophy Series Ford custom engines are pretty much drop in swaps. The '32 roadster has a hemi, the '32 Coupe has a pretty crappy smbc, The '34 pickup has an FE Ford, the '25 T has a Lincoln "sort of", The '36 has a Pontiac and the '40 sedan has an Olds. I really don't like Nailheads, so mine will get the Pontiac or Olds engine.....

Wow! Great job! Nice use of aftermarket hubcaps and the color is perfect for that style Mustang.

Wow! Excellent work!

Wow! Both of those are very nice! The '62 looks good with those wheels. Nice stance too!

Just finished a trade with Zippi, great to deal with, everything went very well!

Cool! Those wheels look really good!

I love old hot rod Fords, but after seeing this video, gonna pass on this one. Life is too short and I have plenty of vintage Trophy Series and modern Revell '32's.

Nice job on both!

Super job! Everything is dead on!

Sorry for your loss. Here is a fotki album of your dad's models that he posted on here. https://public.fotki.com/larman/model-cars-by-model/

I believe the block and trans are the same as the original issue. That was supposed to be a 265 with a 3 spd standard trans.

Was the obit AI generated? I didn't even know that was a thing! If a person did it, what a cruel and miserable thing to do........

That's kool! What a great idea! I still regret selling my original Big Tub......

Outstanding job! This is the nicest stock build of this kit I have seen!

Looks like they got the International COE and not just the trailer, that is a really nice kit!

They had those at the Palm Bay store.

Here's what they have at the Palm Bay, FL. store, they are not all in one place : (The Mail Truck and the Rat Fink Trailer are priced $19.99)

Great build! Nice stance and the engine looks really good!

I am not sure if it was or not. My Nephew said the RF trailer in Pa. was $20.

I also checked the Merritt Island. Fl. store, this is what was there: Also, my nephew called me yesterday while he was at the Ollie's on Tilghman St. in Allentown, Pa. It looks like they got about the same as what is pictured above, but he said they also had the Fruehauf Ratfink trailer, 1/32 '32 Ford coupe, Concorde Slammer and Coca Cola '41 Plymouth. It seems likely that we may see more kits between now and Christmas, I guess we will see! FWIW, as a public service message, I bought the Groove Boss last time I was at Ollie's and even for parts, it is a turd of a kit IMO. I guess there are $13 worth of parts, but I don't recommend this kit unless you really love circle track cars and even then, I don't think there is too much that is correct about it.
