Looks very interesting so far, nice to see something thats not a 32 Ford for a change !

Hey Chris. I am looking at doing a Diamond T further down the track but it will be a WW2 era version. Also looking at the doing a Federal from the same are. I will kick these two off at the same time. At the moment I am working on the AA and BB Ford trucks so once i have completed these I can move onto some of the others. Cheers.

I totally agree the 35 Grill is better looking. The kit will be designed to fit the AMT 1:25 scale 36 Coupe roadster. The kit will include the grill, full fenders and hood. I may include a set of headlights as well. As well as a conversion kit, I will also be looking at doing some more complete kits. These ones won't need a conversion kit to finish them as they will include a full chassis body and interior. At the moment I am looking at a stock 4 Door Woodie, a Roadster Utility ( kind of like the one in my avatar picture ) and the final one will be another rare one a Type 48 Cabriolet. These ones have suicide doors. Not sure when i will get it done but so far i have reshaped the front fenders and i started work on the grill today.

An Opel Cabriolet in 1:24 scale. I did not know they made them that big, I will definitely check this one out !

Hey Bill. Better late than never, I am working on a 35 Ford Conversion kit if you are still interested. Cheers !

My definition of a gasser is pretty straight forward, it needs to run a solid front axle, and it should sit high at the front. You should be able to stick your head in between the top of the front wheel and the fender well. The rear end should be un tubbed as well. There have been plenty of street gassers built over the years that have not run full roll cages or repositioned engines. So if you can get a solid axle under the front and get it raised up you will have a gasser ! ps..... you will also want to raise up the rear as well. If you want to know what one of these actually looks like there is a book called "Australia's Hot Rod Heritage" and on page 177 you will find a photo of an FE ute called "Illusion". It was campaigned by Bruce Phillips and Rick Jones. This is the only FE Gasser ute that I know of. If you can't find the book, google Holden Gasser and you will find an image of an FC Gasser model that The Ports Box built in 2007. They raised the rear wheel arches and jacked it up. And this will make a good reference for what you want to do.

That has to be the coolest 32 Vicky I have seen on the forum !

Very interesting. It already looks better than the R&R version !

Hey Russell. I created my own 34 Chev models years ago after taking measurements from my full size one. The first models i created were coupes, I then created some coupe utilities. These have the front half of the coupe mated to the back half of a pick up. If you can picture a 1934 El camino, that is what these look like. After casting up several I stopped. I will be redoing the model shortly. I also have a couple of the R&R 34 Chevs, a 3 window coupe and a tudor which is being turned into a 34 Buick kit. After getting the two R&R kits, I was surprised to find they were not as accurate as my versions. I will be re launching my own versions once I have completed the 33 Dodge kits that i am working on. I am keen to put up some photo's which I will do when i have worked out how to upload them from my photo bucket account.

Hey Pat I would love to post some photo's up if I could work out the image code and how to reduce the file size etc, I will have a go at it, otherwise if you p.m me I can email some photo's through to you. Cheers.

I really like what you have done with the Hemi !

Very Cool, just don't run that Hemi for too long, ya don't want cook it !

Hey Pat. I have the MPC 32 Chevrolet Cabriolet and parts such as the engine and front and rear suspension would interchange quite easily, the problem is you would need to have a 1:25 scale 34 Chev to work with and your Diecast version is 1:24. Rather than trying to work with the die cast model you should towards using something else. As I mentioned previously I have cast up a number of 1:25 scale 34 Chev Models with full bodies and chassis. I will be redoing them shortly and they will include Roadster, Utility ( an Australian version of a pick up), Coupe, Tourer, Tudor. I own a utility and I also have the body of a sedan as well as a collection of parts from the master and standard versions at my disposal including a master dash. So having ready access to 1:1 vehicles and parts means that these kits will be as accurate as you can get. So if there is anything you need let me know and I will send it to you at my expense if you are happy to put it up on the forum.

The good news is that I actually own a 34 Chev, "the real thing" and I am planning on putting a small block Ford in it, if i can ever get around to building it that is ! Anyway getting back to the build, I have a couple of R&R 34 Chev kits, one is the tudor which I am turning into a 34 Buick, the other is the 3 window. I have also cast up couple resin versions myself. I should point out that these are based off my own full sized 34 Chev and are completely different to the R&R versions. Anyway if you need any help with this project, I am more than happy to help just let me know what you need.

This is what its all about, standing out from the crowd, very nice !

Very cool indeed !

This is the problem with what he does, its just bodies, he should tool up and offer chassis and floor pans with his kits, it would solve this problem.

Very nice finish !

These look great. The 46 to 48 Chevs beat their 41 to 48 Ford equivalents just for the fact that their front fenders blended into the their doors. The only thing missing from this line up though, is a convertible, that would be cool !
