Great build of that kit. what motor is in it? Mike

Interesting subject. Thank you for making correct seat belts. I also like what you are doing with the interior. That area is seriously lacking in these kits. Mike

While the kit can have its challenges, there are some things you can do with this kit. Below are a couple of ideas I had, and am actually started building the roadster over 20 years ago. It is rather easy to do, if you have an AMT 36 Ford kit. The separate top on the ZZ top kit can easily be swapped with the roadster cowl piece as it is the same size and needs very little modifications. Now, getting the Fiero Turbo, intercooled V6 in the back is another story (hence why it has been stalled for 20 years.). The other one is based of the same style as Tom shows above. There was a time when those were common. I have another rendering done by someone that I had tried to start as a club build (where each club member builds a part of the kit), but it failed miserably and I have never seen the kit since. You should build it in a style that you like. it is very modifiable and I would like to see something done with it no one else has done. Mike

Wow!! All that work really turned out incredible. Glad to see it done, though I am still going to have to go over the progress shots for inspiration. Thanks for sharing the final product. Mike

Whats funny is I used the head lights from the pro street Camaro kit & they fit right. Great job so far! Mike

This is looking really good, especially with the kit you started with. I love how you corrected the front. Makes me want to dig the one I was working on back out. Great job on all the details, and making them look so easy. I totally agree with keeping the sharp corners on the stripes and cant wait to see this completed.

Nice work. Knowing the guy that built that truck, I can it would be very difficult to replicate. He literally cut the truck into squares. It has been shortened, narrowed, sectioned, chopped and anything else you could do to it. I like the direction you going with this. Keep going and posting pics. Mike

It is an old kit and mine had a lot of flash as well, but the key is to keep test fitting and test fit some more. Being an older kit, the details are pretty simplified, which makes fig-iting easier. It is possible to have fun with this kit, but it does have it's challenges. I made things harder for myself by modifying the chassis as well. Glad to see you finished yours. Someone found an old b&w photo of mine from quite a while ago. The doors no longer close on mine.

Turned out great. Glad you finished it. Mike

Great idea! Love where you are going with it. Mike

Man there is a LOT of nice work here! I must admit the 32 is one of my all time favorites. Here is one I finished a while ago. I am working on others, but I have pics of this one. There are parts from so many different 32's. The body is Monogram mounted on a AMT Phantom Vicky chassis, wheels & tires. 37 Ford tail lights and PT Cruiser seats & door panels. Mike

I'm likin it! I have an idea or two for these as well. I think there is a lot of potential in these kits. -

Turned out real nice! Those Foose wheels are a lot smaller than I would have thought on that. -
Lookin really nice so far. I have one I have been debating how to build. I have been enjoying watching you do yours & getting thoughts on how I will do mine. Thanks for all the progress pictures. Mike

My version of Chevys should be 1963 ElCamino!

Looks great so far. Here is a drawing I did for a Sketchpad article a while ago. I really didn't think they actually plans to make it. I based my drawing on the wagon version, since it would be easier to convert. Mike
