Good question. I have no idea is my best answer. At least it's not called bear scat! Later-

The wheels on this are an idea that I have had kicking around for quite a few months and it is one of those deals that you never know where you will find something to use on a build if you use your imagination. One morning I was getting ready for work at 4 AM and I dropped my deodorant. When it hit the floor, out of the bottom popped this white cap that is stuffed up into the bottom of the wheel you turn to raise the deodorant stick.. I picked it up and as soon as I saw it I thought "That would make a perfect large diameter steel wheel." My idea is to paint them the accent color, put valve stems and put 29 Ford or old style Ford poverty caps in the center. Now I just need to stop tomorrow and buy two more sticks of deodorant. Ought to be able to smell me coming. Later-

It's looking great! Put it back on the bench and get it finished.(or send it to me- lol) It's strange that I have all sorts of parts and pieces to build multiple 32's but I also have never built one. Later-

That does look nice. Looks very similar to one I painted a while back. I like the extra work on the engine pulleys and the firewall. Later-

Thanks Guys! Later-

Thanks for the interest. I got some paint on it today. I decided not to move the front fender wells forward. I wanted to do a kind of quick build on this one so I chose to forgo it. I am off work tomorrow so this will have a bit of time to dry before I sand some garbage out of the paint and shoot a final coat on Thursday. The color is Testors Hemi Orange.I took a couple of shots with the wheels mocked up. The wheels will have older Ford caps to top them off and possibly valve stems. Later-

Nice looking paint work. Love the iridescent paint. It really shows in the one photo. Later-

Interesting info. Not boring at all. I didn't know anything about these cars when I built mine. Just had the purple nail polish and thought it went well with the wheels. A funny thing was my box called it an S-Tune although it was the same pic on the box as the Z- Tune kit. I couldn't find any other pics of my box on the net. I bought it years ago and finally got to it to build it this year. http:// Later-

Nice looking alterations so far Dennis. That front wheel well change makes quite a difference. Thanks for reminding me about it on my build. I like the interior upgrade too. I'll have to show you some pics of mine that I started years ago on the 55 Ford. I think I threw just about every mod I could at it. Someday I need to get it out and finish it. Later-

I hadn't thought of doing it on this one but I did do it on the old Strohsmobile 55 pickup years ago. You're right. Easy to do and looks much better. I'm still in the early stages so now would be the time. Thanks. Later-

Looks like you're doing great on it. I can't wait to see what it turns out like. I love this kit and built mine earlier this year. http:// Later-

I got this panel van from Scott8950 a few months back and I'm finally getting around to doing something with it. I stripped it, primed it and painted the top side panel in Wimbledon White. The tires are the rears from the 39 Wagonrod or the Prowler with the fronts narrowed a bit over 1/16 inch. Right now I am in the very early stages with not much going in the way of plans. So, stay tuned. Later-

Great finds Ken! Love the Chevy's (67 or 68's?) and the Maverick is sweet! Later-

Beautiful! Yes, what paint and color did you use? Where did the wheels come from? Later-

Thanks guys! Glad you like it. I think this is my fifth finished project for the year. My best record ever. I still have time to finish one or two. On to a 55 Ford Panel van and a 57 Ford Wagon along with some stalled projects. Later-

Man, that looks fantastic! I've got this kit and just picked up a 62 Bonneville rebuilder. I have got to try a paint job similar to this. Thanks for the inspiration! Later-

Thanks Stitchd. The color is Testors Graphite Dust. The lighter color is Testors Diamond Dust. Later-

Thanks guys! I appreciate it. Later-

Just picked this stuff up from a buddy last night. Excited about the 62 Bonneville. I'm looking for doors and a trunk lid/rear door for the Thames Panel and Coupe, if anybody has any. Later-

Thanks Jim. Later-

Thank you guys. No wonder I couldn't remember the name. Looks like I'll be ordering tomorrow. Later-

I am looking for, what I believe, is a Japanese product. It is a powder that you rub on plastic to make it look like bare metal. I thought the name was Jin- something?? I want to make a bare metal looking 29 or 32 Ford. Does anybody have a clue what I am hinting at or was I just dreaming again? Thanks. Later-

Beautiful job! Couldn't get any better. Later-

I finally sat down today during my break and got this one finished before continuing on to my next project. Not the best of builds but it's finished and, for the most part, looks as I envisioned it. Pegasus Phat Daddy tires and wheels I swiped from a stalled 66 Nova project, resin Magnuson supercharger from Curt Raitz (thanks) mounted on a 2010 Camaro SS engine. I completely modified the chassis and suspension and installed the seats, center console and steering wheel and column from a Viper GTS scrap heap I had on hand. Used an old computer speaker mesh for a grille. The paint looked decent until I noticed that the clear had alligatored on me. My own fault. I had sprayed the first clear coat with a cheap clear and then sprayed a couple of coats of Testors Wet Look Clear over that a few days later. I ended up with a reaction with the cheap stuff. It doesn't show when looking straight on but is definitely noticable at angles. Anywhoo, it's on the shelf now. Hope you enjoy it. Later-

Finally moved to Under Glass. Later-
