1932 Ford Street Rod

[rv1963]

I just finished this one to night. I was trying for a simple clean build with a few extra details most of which are in the interior, steering wheel and dash insert are scratch built as well as the console, shifter, steering column and mount. Any and all comments welcome.

[RodneyBad]

Thats a simple build?

Dang nice.

Nice wood grain, Great interior.

Great Detail thru out.

A Most Excellent Job!!

Thanks guys, not shore about the wheels because they sat in the kit box for about 5 years before i really worked on it. The wood grain on the wheel and dash insert are real wood the console was hand painted.

Thanks, i used the kit grill, and you are close on the fire wall it's a piece of thin tin or metal polished with several fine grades of sand paper.

[rv1963]

Thanks and i am no offended at all my models are never perfect if they were how could i improve them. I will have to use the one installed as it's glued in and can't be removed, it's a good idea that should take a bout 10 minutes to do.

Thanks Outlaw for the kind words, I got the engine out of the Polar Lights Holman & Moody kit the supercharger and scoop from the recent Revell 1968 Firebird kit.

That is one of those cars that you would see in one of those " I can't drive 55" Ads. Mean looking rod

[rv1963]

Thanks, it would be fast in real life a 2,500 pound car with about 650 horse power that's a speeding ticket waiting to happen.

[James Flowers]

Nice to see a Ford motor in one of these. Very well done.

[Dave Wood]

Looks Great!! Love the Wood Dash & Wheel and oh yeah the FORD MILL!

[Randy Kern]

A nice clean machine, there! That big motor looks good in it, too. Your wood treatment really came out nice, even the shift knob. A p.e. grille is definitely the way to go with these '32s, and Rep & Min Co of Md has the opened resin shell to make it easier. I seem to recall those wheels & tires came in an aftermarket set with four or five other styles of wheels, back in the '90s. Nice build!

Thanks a lot everybody for all the positive comments, and yes i agree that the grill needs work i am going to give it a black wash that will help a little.
