Dennis Lacy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Another vintage drag Altered on my workbench is this 1932 Ford Pickup. The picture below was my inspiration. The basic foundation is the '32 style frame from Revell's '29 Roadster / '30 Coupe kits, a Drag City Casting chopped resin cab (amazing quality!) and a Lindberg '34 Pickup bed. I started this one a while back and here's the most recent mock up pictures I have. The front axle and wheels are from the Monogram Slingster Dragster, the rear wheels and slicks are from the Revell Orange Crate. The cab is channeled the height of the frame and bed has been heavily shortened and channeled as well. The bed and cab visor have been drilled liberally. Up front I removed the front cross member and frame horns, added a round tube front cross member and used the spring mount from the Slingster frame. The rear axle is the Halibrand quick change and axle tubes from an AMT '25 T kit. The housings were extended a but with Revell '40 Ford brake plates and finned Buick drums from Revell's '29 Roadster / '30 Coupe kits. I put in a Model A rear cross member from an AMT '29 Roadster frame then drilled it full of holes. I also added a round tube rear spreader bar to the frame horns then drilled them between the bar and cross member. The engine is the Buick Nailhead from Revell's '29 Roadster. I sawed off the automatic transmission then reworked the transmission adapter housing from a Revell Ed Roth Tweedy Pie T. I then added the trans adapter plate and B&M Hydro trans from a Revell Cadillac parts pack engine. I made some solid motor mount plates up front. I used the tubular transmission cross member from Revell's '29 Roadster / '30 Coupe kits. Lots more to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
