Thanks so much, Tim. Glad you like it! I like the wheels a lot before but I’m really happy with how they came out stripped, painted and with the trim rings.

Just... WOW! Talk about absolutely killer!!!

I remember this ones short lived appearance on TRAK. I really liked it then and I still do. To do any post-War truck without fenders and make it look right while still resembling what it started out as is no easy task. I think you nailed it. Proportions, stance, parts selection and color scheme are right-on! I’d love to see a full scale version.

I really like everything you’ve done here, Roger. The windshield and top are a million times better. Bobbing the rear fenders was a good move. Stance and proportions are right-on! Looking forward to seeing what colors you’ve chosen.

Thanks again, guys. Glad you all like it!

Thanks, Roger! I dunno if it’s the best but that’s mighty nice of you.

Luckily that Greyhound you need is also in the Monogram ‘32 Roadster. It would be the crowning touch!

That's RAD! And a killer idea!

So that's what they look like stock! Very nice.

I think you found your calling, B. These handful of weathered models you've turned out in recent times really do look right-on and this one is no exception. Its perfect! Great, textured patina and that Pontiac look not only well-used but it also looks like it's been in the car for a long time. Also, a really nice touch with the custom coupe pleated interior. This looks like one of those time-capsule cars you pull out of a long slumber and then struggle with whether to drive it as-is or restore it.

Excellent take on a custom '48 Convertible! The optional chopped top and the coupes custom parts look right-on.

Absolutely, by far, the nicest example of this old kit I've ever seen!

Thanks, Alan! That neo-traditional Rodders Journal look is what I was going for with the color and sports car style wheels. Channeled Deuce Tudors aren't that common, you're right. But in the recent past I've done a channeled Roadster, 3-Window and 5-Window so I figured I should finish out the Revell '32 fleet with a channeled Tudor.

This is one of those kits that seems to seldom get built. Looks cool with the rodded 'banger in it!

This is a 70's Resto-Rodders dream come true!

I can confirm absolutely that ‘32 and ‘33-‘34 Pickup beds are identical dimensionally and use the same front panel, tailgate and other pieces. The differences are exactly what you stated. Everything else was pretty well covered by Danny and Ace but if we want to get super technical, a correction to Danno’s information is that light commercial ‘33-‘34 are not designated Model 40, they are Model 46 and every part specific to them (vs. a passenger car) has a part number starting with that number prefix (46-).

Thanks, man! The injector tubes are nothing more than 8 pieces of Evergreen 3/32" tube glued on and then the top ends drilled out to look appropriately thin. I brush painted them with good old Testors bright silver little jar paint applied heavy so that they'd stay bright and shiny looking.

I always appreciate your input, Tim. Glad you like it! This will probably sound nuts but it was a picture you took of a Bud Lefevre '28 Sedan street rod work in progress at a GSL show and featured in an early 90's Modelers Corner that started my obsession with this kit. Now the better parts of 30 years later I finally have a finished one on my shelf!

Thanks a bunch, Gary! 1964 was about what i was shooting for. 5-spokes, hard piecrusts and a high-winding small block.

Thank you, everyone, for your nice comments! I'm really happy to finally have this model finished, it's been a long time coming. This one was a bit of a challenge to work on since the frame is molded as one with the fenders and floor, especially since the top side of the fenders, bottom side of the fenders, top side of the floor, bottom side of the floor, frame and running boards all had to be different colors. Lots and lots of masking which nearly burned me out!

Started sticking this one together today. The chassis is essentially finished and the engine is assembled except for the carbs and distributor/wires. I also started on the floor and related parts. Had to set the engine in and the body on for a look. Another afternoon at the bench should get it done. Stay tuned!

UPDATE! Getting very close to the end. Only things left to do is cut and install the glass and install the lower door hinges permanently attaching the doors. At that point the body can be permanently installed and it’s a done deal. In the meantime here’s a few teaser pictures.

I’ll admit it looked neat sanded like that and I did have thoughts but there was too much white plastic showing. Got your PM. Thanks for that. My printer is out of ink so I went ahead and gave the gauges a wash. I’ll keep those for the next one, though!
