RatRod Posted January 15, 2013 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted January 15, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
