restoman Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 '32 Deuce Roadster... A re-issue of Monogram's 1959 kit. Pretty much box stock. I added the tailights - cut down '49 Ford custom lights - and since the kit flames were pooched, I used some from the parts box. Molotow chrome airbrushed on, thinned out the front discs for a better fit, opened up the slots in the rear wheels, scribed in the door and trunk lid lines, and added clear headlight lenses instead of the kit's styrene units. This is a two-piece body (what do expect from 1959?), so it took lots of gluing, filling and sanding to get it all schtuck together and looking good. Good ol' GM 8555 black base and two-part clear for the finish. A pretty simple kit, but I'm more than happy with how it turned out. It was a lot of fun. Comments always welcome! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Supremely cool. It takes some serious effort to get the full-length seam this body is blessed with gone and straight enough for black. Always great to see somebody take a simple old kit and build something really special out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Beautiful! That's the result I was aiming for when I built the kit in 1962 - didn't quite work out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
