hippie6 Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 I actually finished a model!!!! Here is how a '32 Ford sedan sould look! There are 13 parts from the sedan kit, all modified. Body-removed cloth portion of roof. chopped down door panels and added mexican blanket decals. Widened rear axle. Recessed fire wall. Dechromed front suspension and installed tie rods upside down (for clearence) and used another set of tie rods from kit for the cowl steering. Removed the front brakes to mount spindle mount wheels. And Z'd the frame. I borrowed parts from the following kits: Revell '40 Ford-dash. AMT '53 Ford p/u-custom engine and steering wheel. '56 Ford-front wheels/ tires. '40 Willys-rear wheels. '49 Ford- custom taillights. Lindberg Auburn-headlights. I scratch built a tractor grill and radiator, carb stacks, headers, fuel blocks, center console and floor pan. The keg (fuel tank), seats, rear tires and shifter knob are aftermarket pieces
Robert Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 That's a great looking custom job. I like everything you've done with it.
Dragon7665 Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) WOW Great Job, Especially like how your Kustom '32 looks like it came off of another car, and the Body Sectioning with a Stock Height Roof Screams Ol' Skool.... ****Edit*** WHOA Is that a Chopped Down Forty Dash behing the Killer Plane Wheel??? NOICE!!!!! :ph34r: Edited December 2, 2008 by Dragon7665
hippie6 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Posted December 2, 2008 The red winsheild is just the kit glass that I sprayed with Tamiya clear red for a can. I wanted the clear blue but it was on backorder... no time to wait!!
John Goschke Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 I like it! And thanks for pointing that there IS a use for the Lindberg/Pyro Auburn kit!
