I came up with one of each style of dash, stock or street rod. And found a hood, its got some very minor scratches on the right side. I bet they disappear after a very light sanding and first primer coat. Tried to get them to show a bit in the picture. Any chance you're using the street rod kit and not using the Chevy small block?

AMT 34 5w coupe or PU? Good chance I have hood and dash for either, but I know i am short on chassis'. Can look on Thursday if you have found by then.

These were not even close to glue and go fitment. In fact, they needed a massive amount of re-shaping once glued in place. But part of what caught my eye to use them was the thickness they were molded in in certain area which worked to my advantage allowing me to do a lot of sanding and shaping on them. Sure saved me a lot of little Evergreen pieces too.

Good eye. I used the rear quarters of the five window coupe to form the PU cab corners. Most visible by the fenderwell cutout showing in the back of the cab. IIRC, the right quarter made the left cab corner and vice-versa. The body line under the coupe tailights then helped form the body line at the bottom of the cab. Then some evergreen sheet styrene for the center of the cab wall and some more evergreen styrene to form the body line around the back.

Here is a short writeup with the pics that I have. Careful, you may not want to step into the thought of this brain. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/204833-34-ford-phantom-pu/

Interior tub is just a modified kit tub from the AMT 34 5w kit. Basically just had to shorten the back corners of it.

After that was giving it a haircut and building a back cab wall.

Here is a build i finished a while back and posted under glass, but got questions regarding my thought process of my cutting. The build inspiration came from the recently revealed "California Kid Express" truck. Truth is there was probably more "wing it" than there was thought process. This was built using an AMT 34 5w coupe and an AMT 34 Ford PU to create a phantom of what a 34 PU would look like if Ford had carried the car styling to the trucks for 34. I started by bring the rear of the cabin/cab forward so that the back of the window would line up with my door lines. This quickly removed the pillar and made a terrible looking 3w.

Many thanks for all the kind words. Much appreciated. Dtimmerman, I'll see if I can put together an after the fact build thread as I do have a few pictures of the cab chopping.

I've looked for resin bodies for the AMT 32 Chev also and never found one. Have found pics of the bodies mentioned above. I too would like a coupe. Also want a pickup body. I've got a gluebomb 33 panel that I've considered cutting into a pickup cab.

I imagined dark blue fenders and orange body when I read those two colors also.

I stumbled on Fred's resin a couple days ago. He had a 33 Chev 3w coupe. Have wanted one of those.

I can easily come up with a 5.0 from a Revell 32 Ford kit. I have gotten the 62 Buick parts I needed. Any chance you have the MPC 33 chev panel body? Just the body, rear doors not needed. Want to make one into a PU. Or an AMT 32 Vicky body molded in white? Again, just the body.

Unfortunately I have mastered anything new in a couple years. Life has just gotten super busy. I do have several hoods still for the Revell 32's, but that's really all I have right now. At this point, the majority of my molds have gone bad. So once I can get back to modeling and casting, I will have to decide which pieces to make new molds for. And what new pieces i would like to bring out. Jason LouverWorks
