Very nicely built. I once had a 65 that I never got the way I wanted. Many years later I almost bought a lowered 67 but not well done and unsafe at any speed !!

Very interesting piece of automotive and model car history.

This is my first completion of 2025 and the 5th of 8 ‘32 Ford models I am building for Deuce Days in Scale this July in Victoria BC. It is the latest Revel Roadster body with the Duval Windshield which I had used as a test body for some painting and highlighting techniques I wanted to use on a previous project. I decided this build would be show & go inspired so it would need a supercharged engine, drag slicks, a roll bar, a drag chute, lots of chrome and all should be over the top. The are so many historic Deuces that influenced this model starting with Tom McMullin’s flamed blown Hi-Boy, Phil Cool’s 1978 AMBR winning supercharged big-block roadster with monster drag slicks, Pete Chapouris’ Limefire, a few Deuce roadsters built specifically for drag racing and of course Stacey David’s Rat Roaster. ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONS Most of interior is from the Rat Roaster Dash, steering wheel & steering column from first issue Revell Roadster Roll bar from Revell ’41 Willys HEMI engine is a combination of ’32 5-W & ’41 Willys Street Rod parts Headers & exhaust from AMT Phantom Vickie Replicas & Miniatures Winters Quick Change Everything else from spare parts Tamiya Candy Lime Metallic with kit decals

Nice save.

Gorgeous model of a gorgeous truck. Very well built.

I always liked this car from back in the day when Parnelli raced it at Pikes Peak. At the 2003 Monterey Historics - Parnelli was in this car and Dan Gurney was in a '63 Galaxie. They were supposed to be doing parade laps but they were both sideways coming out of the last corner.

Being a Falcon guy I just had to see what a 49 Shoebox Falcon would look like. You really nailed it. I like it a lot.

I like this very much. Have always thought Alpines were good looking cars. You have made very contemporary.

Far out man!

I really like it. Well done.

Thanks everybody for your gracious comments. Not only am I very pleased with how it turned out and I also am extremely impressed with the fidelity of the kit itself as simple as it is especially the fact that it was released so soon after its victorious 1964 campaign. The instructions actually state - " We would like to acknowledge the assistance of Luigi Chinetti in helping us to produce this winner as an exact scale model." Chinetti was the USA Ferrari importer/promoter and a three time winner of Le Mans including the 64 race in this car. This is a fuzzy photo I just took with my old iphone as I wrote this reply.

I finished this morning for the Facebook 24 Hour Challenge after working on it for a total of about nine hours. It is the 1/24 Monogram Ferrari 275P. The curbside kit was first issued in 1964 after a 275P won the Sebring 12hr and the Le Mans 24hr. It could be built either as a slot-car or a display model. It's pretty impressive for a model from 60 years ago!! ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONS Re-scribed all panel lines and opened up hood vents and brake ducts Modified interior side panels to be more like real car. Dash drilled for gauge decals mounted from behind Used aluminum tube for exhaust tips Dull coated and dark washed wheels Dark washed rear louvers Tamiya Italian Red with clear coat

Fabulous collection

Awesome old Chevy. Great stance.

Great project. TRy to get ti done by the spring IPMS Victoria model show as there is a trophy for best pickup this year. The new issue of Canadian Hot Rods magazine is the annual pickup issue.

Great build of a gorgeous dragster and the funny car is a good looker too!!

Excellent project and you are doing fabulous work. For a display of the 15 versions of '32 Fords my modelling group did for Deuce Days in Scale 2019 we used a Jimmy Flintstone B400 which was OK for the display but yours is going to be so much better. I will be interested with how you eventually pull off a Panel Delivery Truck as we found this one to require the most scratch building using a much modified body from a '37 Panel.

Deuce Days in Scale is a scale model car show the same day that the cars of Northwest Deuce Days - the largest gathering of ’32 Fords in the world - are displayed around the Inner Harbour of Victoria on Sunday, July 20. SPAM - Scale Plastic Automotive Modellers of Greater Victoria are presenting the fourth Deuce Days in Scale in the North & South Pender Rooms of the Hotel Grand Pacific. The model show essentially is a scale version of the car show taking place outside. Deuce Days in Scale will be open to the public from 9AM to 3:30PM with entry by donation. Children under 13 enter for free and will receive a car poster to take home to colour. Spectators will be asked to vote for their favourite model. Because this is primarily a display for the public, modellers are encouraged to bring as many of their models as possible. To allow more models to be displayed, for this year’s event, like the Good Guy’s car shows, models representing cars up to 1999 can be entered. When you think of it; 1999 is now over 25 years ago and the previous century. There will be 9 classes – Deuces, Hot Rods, Customs, Street Machines, Racing Cars, Factory Stock, Large Scale, Small Scale and Other Vehicles. Modellers will be asked to vote for their favourite model in each and favourite model overall. At the end of the show, all the favourite models will be announced. There will be special wards for the Favourite Deuce, the Favourite Over-All and Spectators’ Favourite.

I love these Kings of the Road models of yours

A trio of beautiful and interesting models

I really like the look of your Deuce especially the colour combination with how well the red painted areas work with the kit scallops. I reminds me of the Cee-Bee airplanes which I was always attracted to.

Extremely well built. Fantastic looking model.

I love this sort of same subject threads. There are some very interesting long roofs posted here. These are three of mine.

Good looker !!

Fabulous model. Love your photos.
