Mr. Metallic

What's so awful about it? I think you've got it looking pretty good

This kit is cool, definitely highly stylized. If I ever get my hands on one I'm going to combine it with an AMT Surf Woody show rod for the engine and frame to help flesh out this kit a bit. Looking forward to your build

This has potential. I dig the stance, and wheel tire combination. The weathering seems a little heavy, but that could just be the pics. I get the flavor you're aiming for with the exhaust, but ,maybe track down an AMT Phantom Vicky for a set of exhausts. They have a spacing much closer to the Hemi than those Buick ones you're using. The Vicky kit engine is a modern Ford, but the spacing is nearly perfect for an old Hemi (or Ardun equipped flathead)

Clean buildup of a fun kit. I had a blast building mine. Hope to do more in the future. It practically falls together, even if you do the mods for the optional narrow front end.

They look good, but hard to tell without seeing the printed part

Somehow I missed that this kit was coming with a cammer motor. that's very cool. The ones we've had in various kits over the decades have been a mixed bag. Hopefully this one is done up right, especially the valve covers.

A builder on another forum has bought 4 versions of the Revell 29/30 test shots from this seller.Cool bits of history.

I'm guessing that these sellers just have their auctions set up to keep relisting when the item doesn't sell, and aren't good about going through their inventory to alter prices for items that don't sell. they just leave it on auto-pilot.

Cool concept, well executed. I really dig the taillight treatment. Nice conversion work on the boat too

Nice looking hot rod, and a well executed build. Kudos

I thought they were black and white photos at first glance. Very nice buildup

The majority of the Beach Boys deuce coupe kit you got is based on the old Monogram Little Deuce tooling. It builds up really well if your aim is a traditional rod. The problem is the 3W body they tooled up for this kit is wrong. The roof is the culprit. If you're interested I can send you a roadster body/interior and windshield if you really want to build it. I've bought a bunch of these kits over the years for the suspension parts, so I have a few extra bodies

Digging this build a lot. Nice job back-dating the frame, and the improvements to the body are nicely done

Nice chop on the Vicky

Same kit, but in a new box, with the Original ZZ Top album cover style box art. I think it's molded in white plastic(please correct me if I'm wrong) Decals should be better too. Just released this Spring by Revell.

While Bill is right with regards to the rear cross members, I'll offer this as well. Since you said you were jut getting back into the hobby, and not knowing what your kit stash looks like or your skill set, let me throw this out there. You can get away with simulating the rear cross member with a little cheat. On the Revell frame there is a molded in rear member just ahead of the gas tank. If you cut a hole directly in front of that for the spring from the Monogram kit to rest in, and then put another strip of plastic in front of the opening you just cut for the spring you can simulate the look of a cross member without all the extensive surgery of putting a real cross member in there. See the pic, using the exact components described(yes, the radius arm would hit the floor as pictured. This is a mockup of an old project). If you need better details or pics let me know. Like I said, this may not be 100% accurate, but if you're just getting back into this you may not want to try big mods like modifying the frame and stuff just yet. If you need any more help just ask. And feel free to ask away about resin as well.

Nice build. Great color

Very nice conversion work to make this rare model 32. But the kicker is the side curtains. Nice detail. Oh yeah, the stance is killer

Very sanitary builds, and solid scratchbuilding as well. Nice job

The fenderless is nice, but that red fendered pickup is sweeeet. If you took pics in a more natural setting I bet people would be hard pressed to call them out as models. Oh yeah, I know you did a ton of scratchbuilding on these, which came out very well executed. Kuddos

Cool build. Don't see a lot of these getting finished, and yours sparkles in the sunlight

Thanks for taking us along for the ride in the build process. The final results came out great. Love the Olds engine and frame mods

Thanks for the heads up on those bits. I put some in my Amazon cart

You're build is looking great. Nice stance, great wheel/tire combo. Looking forward to seeing what upgrades you throw at this one. I still hold out hope that they will see fit to do a series like they did with the 32 (and were starting with the Model A). I'm an absolute 32 fan myself, but the 33-34 is a beautiful design and deserves a modern tool hot rod kit itself. (the AMT 5W and this 3W both have good and bad points)

A great kit to start with that has a lot of the parts you need and is easily adaptable to your Revell 32 is the Monogram 32 Ford roadster. This tooling is from the early 60's, and started out as the Lil' Deuce. But recent reissues are plentiful and can be had for a low price if you dig a little. All issues of the kit contain some very nice Ford early juice brakes, nice dropped front axle with split bones, and a buggy sprung rear. I buy this kit whenever I see it cheap just for the suspension parts alone. Rep+Min of Md is one of the best casters in the business, so buy with confidence if you go that route. He offers a full flathead kit, and tons of flathead hop-up parts as well. Here's some box art of the newer(and therefor cheaper) versions of the Monogram 32 roadster. If you have any more questions, just ask And, the original
