AMT 32 Ford Vicky A/G

[Flatout]

Fun Build...lots of kit bashing with Slixx Decals.    1st time using a powdered candy concentrate, much cheaper than the liquid variety.   Pretty interesting product, mix the powder with lacquer thinner or reducer then use it to tint your clear.?

Man, that is REAL nice. Very authentic. Well done.

[Mr. Metallic]

Dang, that's nice. Is that the Olds from the 40 sedan?

I'm sure you've shared this elsewhere? That must be how that combo got into my brain...

How did you squeeze the exhaust between the frame rails?

I raised the engine using some spacers under motor mounts....looking forward to seeing how yours turns out.

Very nice!!

One thing I KNOW is drag racing.

That Vicky is GREAT, perfect choices of parts and great execution too, VERY AUTHENTIC AND ACCURATE!
A really nice build!

[Snake45]

Beautiful, and the finish is magnificent! Great sit--you've got it high but not TOO high, and with a very subtle rake instead of nosejacked. I like this a lot! 

[Lordmodelbuilder]

Beautiful Vicky!! You have done a great job with that one.

Thanks Gary....I was definitely inspired by some of the great Vicky Gassers of the 60's.  I.e... Teddy Bear and Teeter's red Vicky

I like everything about your build,  the paint is beautiful, nice job all the way around. A nice period piece.

Beautiful job !  Vickie's are my favorite '32s

Ted...I tinted the glass with Tamiya Clear Blue spray paint.  

[El Caballo]

Thanks.

[Jim Whalen]

Great build, there is a lot of work that has gone into the model.  Interesting paint, sharp result.

[Hotrod 97]

Awesome build! I like the blue tinted glass! 

[TarheelRick]

Excellent build, love everything about it.  The overall end product is outstanding  When I got to the side view picture, I wondered what had happened to the paint on the "C" pillar, then I went down a couple more and realized it was a reflection of the overhead light - whew!
