RatRod Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) WOW!!! It's been awhile since I've posted anything.....anywhere, but here goes. I built this for a friend, and it took awhile, but all's good. Chopped top, mid sixties Show Rod/Show Car styled '32 Ford 5/w coupe. I used a Cadillac engine, but with the engine block, oil pan, and pulley assembly from the new '49 Merc combined with the heads, valley cover pieces, intake manifold, and valve covers from a Roth Outlaw. It's amazing how well they bash with so many years between. Paint is HOK Sunset pearl, and Pure Ice fingernail polish, and the only kit chrome on this build is the wheels, headlights, and door handles, everything else is Alclad, or polished metals. So, how 'bout some pics? Ok...... Here's the only pic of the interior... Edited January 15, 2013 by RatRod

Sixties Sam Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 That's how a hot rod 32 Ford should look! Excellent work! Sam
Chuck Most Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 This might be the best example I've seen of the Revell 5-window to date, IMHO. Love the orange paint and that Cad mill.
my80malibu Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Stunningly Beautiful.The feel of the Fifties/Sixties is captured in this creation,Thank you.
TooOld Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 That is a gorgeous 5 Window !!! Great example of what this car should look like , the color and details really set it apart from all the rest . The steering wheel is one thing I noticed . . . very cool .
Guest Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 That is a super nice looking '32 five window John! I have a project that I really need to get back to someday. Great work all around!
Brett Barrow Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Really, really cool! Very period-correct look. One question - what are you using under your Alclad? It looks great.
Phildaupho Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 You got everything right on your Deuce. Brovo.
