Idle hands

[Geezerman]

Early in the decade, as I was getting back into model cars, I bought three 32 3 window kits. This one I chopped and did a lot of detailing leaving it as a fenderless hi-boy.

I was never satisfied with the kit's WIDE front tires, so, early this year when I had no kits or bodies to work with, I decided to change those front tires. I had built this too well evidently. Things started breaking rather than separating, so I tore it completely down and took it in another direction. Even xchanged the engine for a flatty.

Headlite shells are custom recessed buckets from something or other (probably the Merc)

The ugly front axle is homemade because I broke the original

That is soooooo cool.

My kinda Rod.

Very well done sir

Geeze--------- RIGHT MOTA, RIGHT STANCE, RIGHT NICE! ED SHAVER

[Slim Louis]

Oh yeah, You got it looking good now, GM, great stance, love the flattie! I like it it a lot better!

[Bernard Kron]

A knockout. I could stare at the work you did around the a-pillars, windshield frame and cowl vent all day long...

[James Flowers]

I agree that turned out great. That axle looks good too me.

[RadRidesByDan]

I agree with everybody......very cool looking ride. true HotRod

[Geezerman]

Thanks, everyone.

Highboy didn't look too bad, just those awful front tires.

I do like the way this turned out. though

[Raul_Perez]

Yep...another cool build from the bench of the geezer...

Thanks for sharing,

[Smart-Resins]

Looks right at home in front of that garage!!Jody

The rebuild looks way better than the original in every way possible. Not that your first go around wasn't nicely done, just not my style of car. I know the front wheels come from the AMT '33 Willys coupe, but what did the front tires come from???

[Peter Lombardo]

Everyone that commented on the car feels you did the right thing by rebuilding the old car, but I disagree.

I think you could have left the old 32 alone, it was a very nice build in its own right and it represented a time in your modeling evolution. And if you really did not like the front wheels, than change them. There are plenty of Revell ‘32 3 window kits around so you could have built the second car from that and then you would have both. Also, they would make a great comparison display on your shelf…kind of a “then and now†display.

Either, way, I really like the deep channeling on the front of the redone coupe, that looks great with the chop and the â€Flattie†up front.
