peekay Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 One of a number of kits that defeated me back then - probably would today too - but you did an excellent job!
ChrisBcritter Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Great job, Phil! I wonder how the body would look as a replacement for the one in the old AMT "Show 'n' Go" kit?
John Clutch Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Im impressed with the build and VERY happy to see a two door sedan. Im very new to this (havent built a model in over 30 years) and a hot rod sedan is definitely on my list to build.
Phildaupho Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks John - You should try to get your hands on the more recent Revell 32 Ford Sedan. It is an excellent kit for getting back into the hobby with two engine and wheel options and can be built full fendered or as a high-boy.

I did a little research on it, and a chopped sedan resin from Jimmy Flinstone exists, which would probably be my best bet because I not planning on using much other components. http://www.hobbylinc.com/jimmyflintstone-1932-ford-sedan-chopped-rat-rod-body-for-revell-resin-model-vehicle-accessory-1:25-nb152?source=froogle&gclid=CMbk2rHQ3cYCFQ8YHwodoqgFjQ
XJ6 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Well I thought I built the best Orange Crate ? till I came across yoursman you did a wonderful job Very Nice ??
rmvw guy Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Very nice! I took the liberty to look at your Fotki album and saw the real Orange Krate photos, you nailed it! Edited July 18, 2015 by rmvw guy
Silver Foxx Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I built one of these many years ago and they are not an easy kit to get right , you have done a real nice build on yours , looks great .
Mr mopar Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Nice work Phil ,one of my fav cars from the west coast ,i did see this car at world of wheels ,just to let you know it has green tinted glass all the way around.
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Rarely do you see one of these built as beautiful as you have done … great job!!Nice to see a fellow Victorian building too. I'm coming home soon ( hopefully to live in Victoria once again ) Cheers mate..
doctor phillips Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Great job, Phil. I remember having one of these when I was a kid. I fiddled, fiddled, and fiddled some more... I think I finally had enough fiddling and blew it up with firecrackers. Edited August 4, 2015 by doctor phillips
Zippi Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 Building it in 3 afternoons on a camping trip, I'd say the 32 Orange Crate turned out really nice. Great looking little Hot Rod. Love that orange.
Mr. Metallic Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Glad this one got a bump because it's a sight to behold. I'm sure many of us have the thought to build one of these with our modern skill sets. You have set the bar very high. Well done.

Thanks for sharing. Thanks every one. I had not noticed that this had gotten bounced forward. As an update - at Deuce Days in Scale 2016 I happened to be near the model when I saw a couple checking it out. I started telling them about the real Orange Crate when they told me they knew the story because they own the real thing and had recently flashed it up of the first time in years. Cool !! They ended up taking it to Santa Barbara for the first west-coast T.RO.G drags and giving it a good run. You can likely find a video of the on YouTube.
