Old MPC Keep On Truckin' '32 Ford sedan delivery street rod kit, from the 70's, given the 60's gasser treatment....

Front suspension modified with tube straight axle from IMC's rare VW gasser , mounted to the MPC kit spring, to get that gasser stance...

Wheels and tires are AMT Parts Pack....

Injected small block Chevy was pieced together from stuff I found digging through my many parts boxes...

Running boards were removed for a bit of "weight reduction", while front fenders were bobbed to clear those cool exhaust headers...

Paint is an Evening Orchid enamel, that a buddy of mine got for me from his local job shop... Decals from Fremont Racing.

Since this kit finally been reissued by round2, y'all could build one of these of your own, if you're so inclined!!!

Very cool, and I too like those headers.  What kit did they come from?

Those are little known hot rod parts that are found in the MPC / AMT '32 Chevy Cabriolet kit...

I did have to make my own flange, as the ones on this build were swiped from a swap meet glue bomb, and were missing them.

This is excellent and probably the best version of the MPC Sedan Delivery I’ve ever seen. Really digging the color and graphics! Also the rolling stock and those tough looking headers. Cool!

This was built from the Revell '32 Ford hot rods sedan kit just after it was released (around 2008 or so?).... TB l
