Very nicely done! I built this one and ha ve another in the ‘stash’. My chassis was not warped but I haven’t looked at the second one. I will say this is the best AMT kit that I have built.

I have this one in the stash . I was impressed with your 32 Ford roadster and look forward to seeing what direction you go with this one.

Amen to that! It seems like I spend more time stripping paint than building. Maybe someday I’ll learn to lay down a smooth coat of paint consistently but so far it still eludes me. Looking forward to watching your next build if this one is taking a break back in the box.

Very cool looking hot rod! The dropped front axle gives it a killer stance and the creative paint job makes this one unique.

I have admired the quality of your builds and find it interesting that you took an approach of build, build, build to hone your skills and craftsmanship as that has been my approach since I became fully engaged in the hobby a few years ago. I certainly don’t produce anything near the quality of your work but I’m seeing improvement. I can’t fault the quality of this build (or your photography) and enjoy getting an historical perspective on the development of a master builder’s skills.

I built this one and agree that it’s a really nice kit. I really like your custom 1/2 round molding! Terrific looking paint and color combination 👍.

Really nice looking hot rod! In fact your build inspired me to order this kit and yes I ordered two😁.

To the best of my memory my first model car was "the Deuce" a 1932 Model B Ford from AMT in 1959. I was 8 years old at the time and my oldest sister who always had an interest in art and painting helped me assemble it. I'm pretty sure we didn't paint it but I seem to recall applying decals. A few years later I had more success building the Visible V8 which I found tremendously informative in the operation of the internal combustion engine. I've built models off and on over the years but only since retirement in 2016 have I become immersed in the hobby.

Thank you.

Hallo Bart, What is your ratio of paint to retarder? I have some Tamiya retarder and need a starting point for trying this. Thanks, Andrew

Steve, Do you decant the Dupli-Color primer and airbrush it or shoot straight from the can? Thanks, Andrew

Stellar build! Fit and finish beyond reproach. Beautifully engineered….I could go on with the superlatives but the model speaks for itself.

You really do a nice job of detailing your builds. Well done!

A very cool high quality build!

Can't say why but I've always had an affection for drag cars that were a bit unconventional in their power plants. This one is very cool!
