CarlR Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) This model is a combination of the body, seats, wheels and tires from the Round 2/AMT Vicky, the dash, sterring wheel, side panels, chassis, radiator shell and running gear from the Revell 1932 5 window coupe and the flathead V-8 from the Revell 1932 sedan. The body was lowered over the frame which necessitated a corresponding reduction in height of the seats. I used the optional 1940 dash and steering wheel. The radiator and shell was sectioned. It wasn't until after I had installed the engine into the completed chassis that I realized that I had forgotten to reengineer the cooling system's hose connections - too late to make the necessary modifications. Engine cooling accomplished by good intentins and pixie dust... I attached the vanity plates and called her done. Edited April 19, 2018 by CarlR
Janne Herajärvi Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Nice build.. I like that flathead engine there.. Color is also looking good.. Little black wash for grille wouldnt hurt..
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I like it...a lot. The slightly sectioned measurements of the old-tool AMT body shell look great with the way you've put everything together, and the rake is just right. Nice work.
lghtngyello03 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Awesome build. Love that flathead...not many done with one.
W-409 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Very nice Vicky! I too like that Flathead with three carbs on it and your color choice is spot on too. Only thing I'd change would be the wheels, as otherwise this build looks really Old School but those modern aluminum wheels just don't look right in there. But that's of course just my opinion. All that matters is that the overall look is very nice and you had fun building it, of course !
