Rocking Rodney Rat Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Just finished this one up. Based on the Revell kit (that we may see again some day???). I made several mods, chopped the top to where I think the kit should have been chopped originally, about 4.5 scale inches. I filled the roof to make it smooth, used a Ford small block originally in the old Matt Hay prostreet T-Bird. I used a 3 x 2 intake, headers from the AMT Phantom Vickie [sic] along with various other parts. Wheels and rear tires from the Revell '32 roadster, Satco super low profile front tires, QC rear, front suspension is from the Revell '32 series with the cross-steer setup...interior door panels from the Revell '32 sedan with the seat from the Revell '32 roadster. I was inspired by a car that was at the SE Nats in Tampa this past April. I haven't done a white build in awhile...thanks for looking.... -RRR Edited June 2, 2018 by Rocking Rodney Rat 2
GMCMAN52 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 nice build,reminds me of OCC Model A ford built by Jesse James
TooOld Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Very very nice , clean and super smoooth ! I like the mods and parts you've selected and Mr. Horsepower is a nice finishing touch !
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted June 2, 2018 Author Posted June 2, 2018 Thanks, gents...not the best chop I've ever done but it was a quick enjoyable build... -RRR
tim boyd Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 As my old buddy Jim Kampmann used to say ".....Ooooooooh…...ahhhhhhhh…" when he saw a really sharp hot rod,...what a tasty build of the Revell Model A kit. Of course, I am all over the use of a Ford engine in the car, and the Matt/Debbie Hay kit was an inspired choice for that. Lotsa really tasty tweaks and an awesome wheel/tire/stance setup, too. WAY TO GO, Rodney! TIM
OldTrucker Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Sweet build and thank you for using a Ford in a Ford!
Dennis Lacy Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Looks awesome, Brother! Just a timeless hot rod. Love the color scheme and the small block Ford. Those old school SVO valve covers are so sweet! Those Satco front tires are worlds better than the Dunlop low-rider tires that come with those wheels.
gman Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Understated, sanitary, and looking oh so right...from every angle.

Yeah those front wheels are hard to find an optional tire for, I've had those Satcos for years, I believe Satco is no more... -RRR
BeakDoc Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Man alive, that is one clean, clinical, razor-sharp build. Pure artistry!
Spex84 Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Very cool! I like the changes--the chop looks much better now, and I dig the QC and engine kitbashing. Nice remote oil filter too:D
Phildaupho Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 I am going to add my congratulations with everyone else on a great looking A-Coupe Hot Rod. I like it very much.
Southern Fried Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 That's as sweet as I've seen in a long time....
