peekay Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 One of a number of kits that defeated me back then - probably would today too - but you did an excellent job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Great job, Phil! I wonder how the body would look as a replacement for the one in the old AMT "Show 'n' Go" kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Clutch Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Im impressed with the build and VERY happy to see a two door sedan. Im very new to this (havent built a model in over 30 years) and a hot rod sedan is definitely on my list to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks John - You should try to get your hands on the more recent Revell 32 Ford Sedan. It is an excellent kit for getting back into the hobby with two engine and wheel options and can be built full fendered or as a high-boy.

I did a little research on it, and a chopped sedan resin from Jimmy Flinstone exists, which would probably be my best bet because I not planning on using much other components. http://www.hobbylinc.com/jimmyflintstone-1932-ford-sedan-chopped-rat-rod-body-for-revell-resin-model-vehicle-accessory-1:25-nb152?source=froogle&gclid=CMbk2rHQ3cYCFQ8YHwodoqgFjQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor phillips Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Great job, Phil. I remember having one of these when I was a kid. I fiddled, fiddled, and fiddled some more... I think I finally had enough fiddling and blew it up with firecrackers. Edited August 4, 2015 by doctor phillips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Building it in 3 afternoons on a camping trip, I'd say the 32 Orange Crate turned out really nice. Great looking little Hot Rod. Love that orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Metallic Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Glad this one got a bump because it's a sight to behold. I'm sure many of us have the thought to build one of these with our modern skill sets. You have set the bar very high. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. Thanks every one. I had not noticed that this had gotten bounced forward. As an update - at Deuce Days in Scale 2016 I happened to be near the model when I saw a couple checking it out. I started telling them about the real Orange Crate when they told me they knew the story because they own the real thing and had recently flashed it up of the first time in years. Cool !! They ended up taking it to Santa Barbara for the first west-coast T.RO.G drags and giving it a good run. You can likely find a video of the on YouTube.
