1932 Ford phaeton MPC Switcher

[Kool Kat]

Been working on this for a week or so, it's very close to being finished, first thing is the paint; Touch n Tone orange from the can, interior is Ivory from a can.

and a little orange flocking on the floor.

Decided to use the 70's spoke wheels, got a couple detailed, 

And then I narrowed the rear axle and shaved some off of these crappy excuse for springs.

Love phaetons, and that orange is a perfect hot rod color!

Don't you just hate it when this happens? Time for the stripper

 

[gotnitro?]

Sorry to see paint issues the colors look fantastic together 

[Zippi]

Yeah....I think we've all been there before KK.  Purple pond?

[Kool Kat]

Something I missed in mock-up, if I put the front axle in its intended spot the tires look to far forward, but if I move it to just behind the intended spot, they look "right". What do ya'll think?

Bob, easy-off!!

To me, the wheels look better moved back.

Second photo is spot on.

That orange is a great color. Nice build

[Kool Kat]

Scooby-doo happens! Guess this will be on hold till I can source a replacement. Was going pretty good till this point, 

Tried to pin it back together, but just ain't going to work. So its on to the next one for now.

Have you tried super glue?

Me too many times to count. LOL

[Zippi]

That happened to me on my 32 Sedan and I glued it back and added a small brace.

[Kool Kat]

It had broke once before and I pinned it back,  I'll replace it or find a different style axle, I've got some beam axles I may give a shot.

[David G.]

Bummer about the axle, but at least it's a common enough part that securing a replacement shouldn't be too difficult.

It'll also give you a chance to address the position issue.
