32 Ford five window

[Limeyglue]

Here are a few photos of my latest WIP . Its the Revell 5 window with modified Buick drums from the Revell A roadster and Orange Crate wheels. The front has been lowered by thinning the spring and notching the frame. I think i will lower the rear as small amount as i think it sits little high. I also plan on chopping the top once i am happy with the stance.

Thanks for looking.

I like it. Not sure I'd drop the rear though. I think the stance is spot on where you have it.

I think the stance is perfect now! Also love those rims not chromed. COOL!

Thanks guys i think i will keep the stance as it is.

Yeah, that looks good as it is.  If you're going for a period build as it seems you are, then either a flat sheet firewall or one of Ed Fluck's stock-style resin pieces would look better than the kit part.  What's the plsn for the engine?

Thanks Stu i'm using the kit hemi but with early rocker covers and eight carb manifold from the amt f100 pickup. i was planning to use a resin stock looking firewall i have seen on evilbay. Where would i get one from Ed Fluck?

Sounds good.  The DeSoto was a different (smaller) engine in 1:1, but if the valve covers fit you can fake it.

Ed doesn't have a website currently, you have to order via email.  I've dealt with him a number of times via the TRaK forum, so I'm happy to vouch for him.  He has a new Facebook page with contact info and a link to a Fotki album of his products:

Ed ships international too. here's a look at the firewall. You can probably find some other cool stuff in his offerings to make the shipping cost worth it
