32 Chevrolet

[Classicgas]

This is a build of mine from the late 90s, maybe early 2000s. AMT'S 32 Chevrolet.  It has yellowed a bit, painted with Testors light blue and enamel clear.

That's a real beauty Lee. Although hot rods are cool I like to see a stock old classic in it's natural state. You certainly nailed this one. Nice engine details too. Great build.

That's a good looking Chevy.  Great craftsmanship.  All the colors look spot on. Great job.

[Classicgas]

Thanks guys!

Beautiful looking Chevrolet. Good looking color scheme.

That's one classy looking Bow-tie.

Nicely done Lee. Especially on that engine detailing. How did you make that inline fuel filter if you don’t mind me asking?

Great looking build; beautifully subtle color combo. Very well done!

Looks like the modeler's ol' trick of using an electronic diode for both line and filter. (  https://www.ebay.com/itm/303614285730?hash=item46b0d257a2:g:gr4AAOSwSVxhPLmM  )

BTW, anyone know the last time this kit was re-issued? I've never come across one.

Thanks guys.  Rusty is correct,  I used a diode.  I don't know if it can be reissued.  The tool morphed into a sedan delivery I believe then into the Dark Shadows  Barnabas Collins Van.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

One of the nicest builds of the MPC ‘32 Chevy I’ve seen. Good color choice, too! 

[Classicgas]

Thank you gentlemen.

Great looking Chevrolet.  Kind of nice to see a stock 1932.

NEAT!!

Very nice!

Stunning build! Paint color choices are excellent! I'm curious what the chrome pieces at the top/rear corners of the hood represent; were they small running lights of some kind?

[Classicgas]

Thanks. You know I'm not sure what they were. Perhaps turn signals, I really don't know.

[James2]

Very nicely done...

[Plowboy]

That's a very well done Chevy, Lee! One of the best examples of this kit that I've seen!

I really like this one. I can answer the questions about the lights. Those are cowl lamps also known as parking lights. Nearly all cars of the era had them. Great model in very nice colors. 

[Classicgas]

Thanks guys,  and thanks for the info on the lights.
