This is a fine looking sedan, as others have mentioned test fitting on most kits will always save you trouble in the end. Keep plugging away you are doing a great job.

Thank you Carl. I can’t seem to follow instructions or build out of the box haha. I guess that where the fun is for me Dan my man, I’m doing everything I can to follow my plan, and to avoid the man named Stan thats selling the golden An! Sorry had a complete Sesame Street moment then ?

Greg how did I miss this! Gotta say the mock-up stance is killer.

Alan your work on this is incredible. Someday I’ll try a red paint job again.

The tonneau cover is a great touch, it makes up for the custom hard top. I still have some bits and pieces of an incomplete kit that a friend gave me, the most coveted part being the Duvall windshield that I still have earmarked for a custom build.

Man that green is just awesome, and those front wheels are very unique, love it!

Very clean build, well done sir

Always a fan of a 32, nice clean build.

Today I focused my labour on the small things, the small annoying details that never seem to be right. Like the missing fuel pump from the kit engine I found, the missing waterpump and crank pulleys, the generator mount. Breathers for the valve covers( boy those things are sweet) Well after a lot on interwebbing (felt like spiderdude) I found resource pics and then the laborious task of sifting through bins of organized spare parts (I even hate myself for that(dang ocd/adhd))I found useable and serviceable parts. Yay! The only small part I could not find was a decent olds looking distributer( that’s okay we can use a magneto right!(RIGHT?)) Ok enough story time, it’s time for pics

You see there are things about this community that i absolutely love, one is the passion that you see others put into their projects for the sake of accuracy, to take lumps of plastic and rubber and turn them into static art. The other is more profound than that, at least to me, is the idea sharing on how to achieve the results we desire, an unnamed member shared with me some photos on how to make one of my confabulated thingamajigs look a lot more like the real thing. I take this as encouragement to perfect my building, not criticism or anything that could be construed as such. So a huge thank you to the unsung hero( might be a tad too strong) who has acted like a mentor in this regard.

Looks like a pretty neat build. I’ll follow along

Here’s hoping the paint Plays nicely this time.

Every time I open one of your threads I’m learning something new to add to my building portfolio. Thank you for continuing my scale education Bill.

Olds rocket sourced, and an adapter made for the cad lasalle gearbox, valve covers are soaking in Windex to remove the centuries old chrome. They are a rather special set and I think they will add some wow factor to this engine. Picking through bins of mall parts has consumed some time to find all the right parts for this engine, still searching for a lower pulley and water pump pulley setup that looks right enough.

It goes against my grain to put a non ford motor in a ford, buuuuut as long as it’s not a 350 Chevy I’ll give it a shot, that and all my kits with fancy ford mills are in storage. I may have enough parts to pull this off.

Thanks Greg, nice to have a loyal supporter Thank you Craig, it feels good to be back at a bench again, the last eight months of exile felt like I was in Dante’s inferno. I’m Hoping to achieve a level on this one that will surpass my last build the roadster vapor pearl. Thanks David, unfortunately I will not be using any of the amt parts for this build. Those will be earmarked as survivor builds. lastly a hint at a possible engine.

Well on the subject of dragging your builds to the forefront, and chance of seeing progress in this one Bill?

Well folks, after a short hiatus from building I’m happy to say I’ve got a bench again. I have tools paint and supplies and the only kits that are not still in storage are these three vintage Amt kits, first release roadster, first release coupe and a second release roadster that will be getting a sympathetic restore. Also snagged a first release built up roadster and a complete first release Vicky. But these are not the reason we are here today. After lurking in the shadows with nothing to show I started scheming… and started an idea to build what in my mind is a combination of some of the best parts that Revell has offered to date. To start with will be the 32 frame from the 29 roadster. While the frame in the new release 32 roadster is just as good, I like the underpinnings of the 29 kit. Engine has yet to be decided. I have purchased 2 new kits to start pilfering parts from, the aforementioned 29 roadster and the new release of the 32 roadster. My goal is to maybe finish at least one model this year. On to the pictures.

Woot! Excited to see the continuance of this build!

As always Bill, I stumble down the rabbit hole of one of your old builds and find myself learning more kewl tips n trix. But this one makes my top 5 of builds I’d like to see completed, your 32 builds are the top of the list though. I’m possibly a month or more away from having a bench again. ☹️ so I live vicariously through the boards.

Great work KK! I’ll have to live vicariously through your build thread as my 33, 3 window is on hold atm.

Sorry guys, there is no update for the foreseeable future. Everything is boxed away and in storage atm.

Bravo! Bravo!

I’m liking all the additional detail you are giving this old kit. Following along.

Everyday I I check this thread there is just so much more detail added! Well done Kurt. btw is this guy your secret helper?
