    High school till '90,then pulled my time in This Man's Army during the Desert Storm era,I drove long haul trucks from '95 till '07,then local trucks till 12-08,and after having broken my neck (C's 2&4) when a co-driver fell asleep behind the wheel in 2001,the Doc finally put me outta work then (12-08). So Currently in the dregs between being unable to work and approved "disabled" by the Man....so I'm a Mr. Mom ;):D

    I got one of these free this past week with 1/2 a top chop done on it (the first half...it's been cut off,and porly at that-but hey,it was free :D) ,so I'm just starting this one,myself (oddly,I've never buildt one of AMT's Dueces :P ),so I especially like yours! I think it looks great,especially for such a simple build (as stated)! Kool color combo too! :P

    I just wanted to comment that this is a great thread!!! I have known about some of these techniques for years,but have also learned some neat new bits to start trying out. Good show,my friend,I can't wait to see updates as they come B)

    Revell is watching your dialogue on future versions of their '32 Ford kits

    I joined this forum specifically for this thread when I saw the link to it on TRaK (which I only just found recently as well). I almost didn't,because about 3 out of 5 pages are just a bunch of whiny babies fighting over stupid ######,they can say what they want in reply,they know it's true....I agree with Lyle here,I'm almost embarrassed by their stupidity-y'all need to realise,opinions are like bungholes...EVERYBODY has one,and all will stink to somebody anyways :lol:

    But,if Revell is listening,I want my voice heard as well. Firstly,they are my favorite manufacturer by far,and most of my purchases are from them. I have bought a few of the 3 windows (2 still unbuilt), 1 of the roadster (all I could find,I'd like a few more),and two of the Speedwagons (1 built,1 waitting),and I finally placed an order for the sedan and 5 window this week.

    I for one love these kits.

    As stated earlier,the tires could be better in the 5 window (haven't received it yet,but how many threads on how many forums are about this wonderfull kit?),I will probably swipe a set from one of my '29 Rat Rod kits,or order up a set from the Modelhaus.

    1)Engine options other than the modern 5.0L (EG: as mentioned already,Nailhead,old Hemi,Olds Rocket,A good Flattie with lots of speed parts,etc)

    2)As already posted,a more traditional suspension option,possibly mounting to the same location as current parts with both in one box

    3)"Z'd" frame option

    4)Pre-chopped top

    5) Vickey or P/U (tho personally I would prefer a closed cab to chop)

    6)More "Ratrod" parts options

    7)2 'n 1 or even 3'n 1 options

    8)Over the frame headers

    9)Quick-change rear axle

    10)some kool finned drum brakes as an option

    I haven't built a Hotrod,other than the Revell Merc in my signature (give me a few minutes ;) ) for a few years,but am just about to give a go at the Revell '32's I have,and definately wouldn't mind some more in the pool!

    Revell,you have done an OUTSTANDING job (not just with this series of kits),keep up the great work,and I'll continue to be a very happy customer for life :D
