'32 5 Window w/ Blown Flathead

Recommended Posts

This is my first build thread here since 2009. I 've been a member for years but never posted much. This build is going to be heavily influenced by a 1:1 car owned by hot rod artist Jeff Norwell. I started with the Revell kit and added a front axle from the new roadster kit, with brake drums from the Blue Bandito. In the rear, there's a Monogram Red Baron quick change with brakes from the Bandito and a Model A crossmember. Wheels and tires are from the '29 Roadster. The engine is from Revell's '40 Ford and it will have a Scot blower from Replicas & Miniatures. The color will be similar to the Norwell car. Anyway, here's what it looks like so far:

Interested to see how the R&M SCOT blower goes together, I've got a couple of these, the workmanship of these is "spot on" kinda' hesitant to build them, all those blower pulleys look quite daunting, especially to a "bumble fisted" builder like me.

Also like the idea of using the 40 Ford rear cross member.

     Aaron,

  Your coupe looks sweet indeed!  But it is sooo unfair.

I'm building a '30 Ford coupe right now that I plan on

starting my build thread tomorrow.

  I too am using a blown flathead motor in my build!!

But I'm sure there is enough room to go around for

both of us in the blown flathead area of interest. LOL!!

 

    Happy building,

      David S.
