32 Ford Sedan

[Spitfire]

This is my second build in about 17 years, so I'm pretty rusty, but I chose a '32 Sedan for the project. Building box stock with a flathead V8. Wheels are from a '32 street rod Monogram kit. My primary focus is improving my paint skills and honing my assembly skills without diving into any major modifications...just trying to achieve a clean build. Paint has some imperfections and isn't glass-smooth, but I'm happy with it, especially considering it's just Rustoleum rattle-can.

A very wise and satisfying approach. Looks really good, too.

I agree nail the basics before launching into scratch building and major modification.  Welcome back to the hobby.

I like your subject choice and paint colors. A little sanding and polishing can make a world of difference in the final appearance of the paint.

Yeah, I need to acquire some junk bodies to practice on...I'm worried about making it better instead of worse.

It's from the Revell 32 Sedan hot rod kit.

Great color selection to build this great kit that we can only wish for its reissue someday

Don't worry about making it worse instead of better.Jump in and try things and you'll be fine.Welcome back to building.

Good way to go about it. Get a routine on how you clean things up before you assemble. He more time you get to spend at the bench the better. My time is hit or miss and just when I think I got something mastered it bites me in the behind. Here’s a 32 theee window based on the same kit I’m working on.
