After hearing a lot of complaints on a Facebook page about this kit I had to go get one and check it out. This was what I consider a quick build for me. Took a few weeks of an hour or so every few days. It is by no means perfect. It actually went together pretty good, there were a few issues but nothing that made me put it back in the box. My two biggest issues was the chassis not sitting straight when the interior was in. I shaved a little bit off the interior drive shaft hump, and a little off the top of the chassis plate in the same area. Also once the interior was in place the wheels weren't in the wheel wells correct. So therefore I shaved a little bit off of the rear of the interior tub and I shaved a little bit off the rear wheel wells so the chassis could move forward. Those were the biggest issues I had. The car is finished with Rust-Oleum gloss almond, no rubbing or buffing done. And the interior is Rust-Oleum nutmeg. I wanted this build to look somewhat like a sleeper so I had removed the rocker moldings, hood vents and decided no chrome around the door and quarter glass. I did add a few details to it and used a set of 1969 Chevelle wheels on it. (thank you to pulln4dejr for the trade) It needs a few post build touch-up but I am calling it done. I actually liked this kit and plan to get another.

That is looking cool. Kind of a cross between race car and custom with the molded bumpers. FYI, the firewall is a Monogram NASCAR piece. -
Looking great and very tastefully done!!!!

FYI..... The scoop is from a Cougar Eliminator (69-70) 71 Cougar GT or 71-76 Comet GT

Monogram '32 roadster: a red-headed step-child.
Sledsel replied to customline's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Not much you can do considering it is 1/24 scale. Maybe modify the frame from the 1/24 scale 37 Ford? It is the same basic shape. -
Great custom. I am liking these curbside kits more and more. Nobody asked so I will..... how did you do the headlights? They look great!

I have one of these 32's. Old but still builds up nicely especially with a few mods. I guess it is the first uni-body deuce! -

So true, Those light look like high beams a lot, especially when they go over a hill or dip in the road. Even on low you get blinded.
