Rocking Rodney Rat Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Howdy campers! I finally got this one on the bench. Our friend ADL (Dennis Lacy) got me all jazzed with his chopped sedan for Drag City Casting, then I realized it wasn't going to be out for awhile and I already had designs on it....so.... -Revell 1932 sedan kit, top chopped, roof "filled". -Stock style firewall from the Revell 'Rat Roaster' roadster kit. -Interior from the sedan kit with a '40 dash from the Revell 5ive window coupe. -Chassis was treated to a Model A rear crossmember and spring from the Revell venerable '30/'31 Model A sedan/pickup kit. The floor was raised to clear the pumpkin and the gas tank was notched to clear the QC. Scratched built rear split bones with the crossmember altered to move mounting points, clearing the exhaust. -Rear axle with QC differential from Replicas and Miniatures of MD. -Ford Y-Block power from the Revell '57 Ford kit, ran horn headers used to clear the hood sides. -Rear tires and wheels from the Revell '29 Model A roadster kit. -Front tires from Modelhaus with AMT wheels, from....??? -Paint is Tamiya TS-91 Dark Green (JGSDF) look that one up. Tamiya black accent color with interior shot with TS-69 Linoleum Deck Brown. Body cleared with Minwax polyurethane clear through my airbrush, orange peel, no extra charge... -Buildup pix and more here: https://public.fotki.com/jferren/32-tudor-sedan-in-green-/ Thanks for looking.... -RRR Edited June 17, 2021 by Rocking Rodney Rat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Besides the great body work and top chop I like the understated color. Nice to see the Y-Block get a little attention as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Metallic Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Love it. Especially love the notched gas tank to fit around the QC and the wheel/tire package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Love it! This is one of those models that not only looks realistic, but has that hot rod "something" that makes it look fast even when sitting still! Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Lacy Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 You know you did it right when a green car looks super tough! All the proportions are right on the money. The Y-block looks way cool nestled in there, too. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I have to confess to not being a fan of military toned hot rods............... but this is very cool. I think what I like the most is the continuity of the entire theme. Razor sharp assembly is the icing on the cake! Nice job RRR!

bill-e-boy Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Cool hot rod. Stance, colour, engine choice spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill-e-boy Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I wondered how you chopped the A pillar. Looked through the Fotki link - Aha - I like it - I may use this method on my next 32 chop. Easier than stretching the turret and cutting a section from the A pillar and leaning it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Rodney, I find this deuce incredibly cool! Stealthy even. You really know your way around hot rods. Everything about it looks ‘right’. I suppose the colour is on trend, and many won’t ‘get it’, but I can’t stop looking at it! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
