Brudda Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 This is a scratch built 32 ford. It was my first build 9 years ago. A friend had a bunch of parts. This is what I used to make this. The cage section came from a funny car. I do not know what 32 body it is. The wheels came from a thunderbolt glue bomb. The Hemi was not all there. Blower was scratch built. Grill was scratch built. Headers were scratch built. All the little goodies were scratch built. The car is not the best. At this time it was a build I was doing for therapy for fine motor skills for my doctor.I had a stroke , and had to show him the model. This started me into the car modeling.

Brudda Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 P.S. I did build models as a kid . Stopped building when I was 15 or so. You know the story, girls, real cars and a job. I’m 63 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Looks like the therapy was a success. I haven't had a stroke and I still don't build THAT good!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thank you oldcarfan27. It took along time to build it. My left side of my body was paralyzed. Took 6 months to get back in shape. Still feels strange but have to live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phildaupho Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 WOW. Incredible build. At first I thought it might be large scale with the high level of detail and fidelity. Build on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Nice one, Bruce! A great looking model! Nice scratch building skills you have there. Plenty of attitude. And it sits right, too.

Hi-Po Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 You and your doctor should be very proud of what you accomplished with this build.

iBorg Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Looks like a tremendous build. Great job especially if it was built from nothing but scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 How can I get a stroke, I'd like to build like this... All poor-taste jokes aside, WOW this model is awesome. It has tons of character, engaging detail, strong use of color contrast, effective use of decals (I like the Coa-cola sticker on the seat, and the labelled MSD box in particular). I also initially thought this was a larger-scale model, but I recognize that AMT '32 body! It reminds me of photos of 1960s competition models, maybe not 100% in-scale, but makes up for it in sheer exuberance. Definitely a model to be proud of! It deserves a display case or something to keep the dust off Saved to my inspiration folder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
