mr moto Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 This is the phaeton version of AMT's ancient '32 Ford tooling. It has a number of accuracy issues that have been talked about a lot and the engineering is primitive but when it's done it looks pretty good despite itself. The engine id the Ford FE that came in the kit with a three carb manifold from the parts box and air cleaners from the '36 Ford kit. The instrument cluster is also '36 Ford. Taillights and hubcaps are '50 Ford and the steelies are from the '53 Ford pickup kit. No radical changes - just a few homemade details. Like I said, basic ol' skool hot rod. I hope you like it.

Misha Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Really great build Manuel of this classic kit. It’s great to see all the recent Tub builds on the forum, each a unique rendition. Your added details and kit bashing worked out well, really like the Necker’s Knob on the wheel. The colour is right on for the traditional Hot Rod look. Thanks for posting, congrats Misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where I got it anymore but I think it might have been from on-line seller Oakridge Hobbies. It's available in many colors on the net. You can find lots of cool stuff by sort of "crossing over" to other hobbies and their suppliers. 23 hours ago, Dave Van said: I like it!!! Warts and all!!!! I have a number of builds like this...I call them 50's and 60's high school cars!!! That's just how I thought about this build. A high schooler (with a few more bucks than I had!) or a young working guy who fixes up that old tub his uncle had under the shade tree into his dream ride. But, wait a minute, those aren't warts - they're beauty marks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
