I have one more Vicky body left in my stash and I intend to build one like this but there are other more pressing projects in the queue. Thanks! It almost broke my heart to scrape those cool old-school flame decals off, but they were in such bad shape that they had to go, as they no longer fit in with the look of the rest of it. If I ever run across another set of them, I'd give serious thought to putting them back on, as they do offer a little color to the thing.

Mostly stock but uses the rear axle from an Ala Kart and the wheels and tyres from a Monogram Edmunds Supermod. It also runs a Son of Ford headlight bar with Dietz headlights That's a lot of '32's and all of them very well done! Where did you find the girl with the dog in this one? My wife and I had a dog that looked just like it.
Flatout Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Alan...Great topic, thanks for starting it and very nice collection ofAMT 32s. I really like the phaeton, Vicky, and roadster pickup. Here’s what I’ve built and have in work...
Bernard Kron Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Great topic and some nice models to show! My collection of Deuces is AMT-free, I'm sorry to say, I have 2 models, however, that almost qualify, First, and more closely in the spirit of this thread, here's my "fake" AMT box-art build,based on the street rod version of "The Deuce" on the original issue box art. It's constructed with virtually no AMT parts (except for the valve covers, Moon discs and fenders) from the Revell 1/25th scale '32 Fords: The other is a tribute build I did in honor of the fine folks at ThePartsBox.com in Australia. It's based on their AMT-based chopped 5-window coupe resn body and it's right-hand-drive, naturally. Almost everything on it is either from their extensive catalogue or scratchbuilt except for the wheels, grill shell and rear axle: Edited April 4, 2020 by Bernard Kron 1
alan barton Posted April 5, 2020 Author Posted April 5, 2020 That's a lot of '32's and all of them very well done! Where did you find the girl with the dog in this one? My wife and I had a dog that looked just like it. Craig, without having the packaging handy to check, I'm pretty sure she came from a range called Motorheads. This one was from a set of five girls in a variety of poses. They are pre-painted resin and easily the best off-the-shelf 1/25th scale figures I've ever come across. And Pete, that blue Vicky is - I don't know, words fail me , I'm going to just say I think that is the best build of an AMT Vicky I have ever seen. Gorgeous! The coupes are pretty cool too but the Vicky - ahhhhhhh! Bernard, don't you love thepartsbox.com resin? I know Jason and Michelle very well and the products they produce are just fantastic. That coupe has a killer stance, gotta love it! Cheers Alan Cheers Alan
dragcarz Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Thought I throw mine on her, great post by the way!
Gramps46 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Ok here goes with some early photos. An early 1960's built AMT roadster with channeled body and chopped radiator. 2
Gramps46 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Here is another survivor from the early '60s. A highboy this time with a Lincoln engine and rumble seat. 1
Gramps46 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 And my last '32 survivor with a chopped top and blown Chevy. 1
bill-e-boy Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Some nice builds there Below is a couple of mine The coupe was a challenge with a fellow club member as to who could build the lowest 32 Coupe - yup I won The other is a build from the early 80's - 427 from the kit with a C6 instead of the flatty gearbox, 4 barrel, rocker covers and air cleaner from a 69 Cobra, scratch-built headers, Jag XKE front and rear, top chop, blue window tint in a nod to Uncle Tim, paint is Humbrol red mixed with silver Humbrol plus clear, wires from XKE widened in the back. A typical resto rod from the day
alan barton Posted May 9, 2020 Author Posted May 9, 2020 Wow, I had no idea this thread would attract so many high quality and interesting builds. I've still got a few left in my stash, might have to get onto them also. Bill, love your Kiwi Kars! I have been psyching myself up to do a grey paint job for a while - your coupe might just put me over the edge! Cheers Alan
alan barton Posted August 20, 2020 Author Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Draggon, they worked this time! Love the B&W pic of the five window - that is straight out of Car Craft or Rod and Custom! Stunning proportions. As promised, I can finally post my completed Double Kit 32 Custom Tudor. This model would not exist except for the overwhelming generosity of Steve, AKA Muncie. It was quite a challenge and I still have to work out a clean method to fit my tinted blue roof insert but it is finished for now so here it is for your enjoyment. I will put more photos of this model up in a separate thread Under Glass. Cheers Alan Edited August 20, 2020 by alan barton 1
Funkychiken Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 It is a great thread, enjoyed seeing all of these builds!
Dave Darby Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Hi Alan, I have no idea how I missed this thread. You and the other posters have put some really cool Deuces on display. Since you since mentioned my corrupting you into building one of your "faux-vivors" as we call them on the Survivors group, I guess I could share a few of mine. The 4 in the center are my builds, bookended by some survivors on the Vintage Workbench. A better view of the Vintage Workbench, with a few more survivors, and my black full fendered Deuce Coupe. And a greenish yellow survivor clove. Here is my box art coupe, which is far from box stock. Build notes here: I'll go out on a a short limb and guess this is the build Alan is referring to... Clone Clone and survivor... 3
Zippi Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Lots of kewl looking Hot Rods. Love the 3 window and 5 window 32's. Great photos.
landman Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 May as well follow suit. I only have 3. The blue body was a gift from a friend and was built around 50 years ago. I think I used the chassis somewhere else. The gray Tudor is an old build as well, early 80's. It was built during my clearcoat over colored plastic phase. The phaeton is newer, perhaps 30 years or so. The brown one is the original build and the red one is the same after restoration.
Misha Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Great thread! Victoria, British Columbia, the provincial capital has been hosting the Pacific Nor’ West Deuce Days for a number of years and our club Scale Plastic Auto Modellers (SPAM) takes part with a Deuces in Scale display. The Blue Suede Vicky was built for 2016 and the Red Hot Phaeton for the 2019 event (it occurs every third year). Cheers Misha Here’s a sample from the event… Edited November 5, 2021 by Misha Add photo 1
Claude Thibodeau Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Hi Guys! Who doesn't have a few waiting in his stash? I do. So much styrene, so little time... Here are two variations I built in the last few years. CT
