Nice! 
I actually started building the same car I believe your model is inspired by. I chopped the roof, got the tires, started gathering parts….. and it kinda died out. One day I’ll restart it. 
your model is fantastic. Does it have engine and all, or is it built curbside?

Very nice. You should get that body cast. It would "fly off the shelves".

Lots of talent showing up here in a LONG overdue look at our "Long Roof" Deuces!  Great finished examples and a little food for thought WIPs on view, too!

This Deuce has a story behind it and I'm going to have to ask @Rocking Rodney Ratto fill in a couple of forgotten facts.  The original body came to me as a previously started 2dr sedan by a friend RRR met down in Florida several years ago:

'41 Lincoln Rims & Caps wrapped in NAZCA M12 rubber bands under R&MoMD Fenders with smooth running boards...

Loot & Hardware piled up inside...

Almost sad that the interior has to hideout away from view...

I guess I did send that to you, but I don't have much of a recollection about it. Just remember kids, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.... -RRR

Love all the 32s here. I took a different direction with the AMT 32 Phantom Vicki kit. Chopped and molded in the odd looking roof from the kit, chopped the grill and used metal wire. Lots of mods, including flush windshield.

This is 100% better than the original car!!

[Chevy II]

Tons of awesome builds here.

Rodney your Bach's Body Shop Sedan is totally amazing. Thanks for the pictures showing your build. I found a picture of that car while searching the internet for 32 builds and had to copy it to my desk top. Was really excited to find this post.

Thought I might bump this old thread as I have finished a few MPC Switchers based models since I last posted.  The green sedan delivery is a forty year old survivor from my early days!

They are indeed, as is the engine itself if I remember correctly.
