Model Kit rescue: MPC 32 ford sedan delivery custom flat nose van

[John06]

Hey there! I was looking for a model to do and found an old kit k had that I didn’t like where it was going and abandoned, I now want to rescue it and turn it into almost a sort of flat nose van like the 60’s econolines

You can see the body is in rough shape but I believe if I try hard enough I can repair it back to form. Below are some basic prototype pictures for what I want it to look like, I’d love to hear suggestions

Neat idea.

The concept makes me think of this, too left, from a 70s Hot Rod magazine:

Certainly won’t be easy to pull off - but the idea has some potential I think!  It’s hard doing something new with a Deuce!

I was gonna make it rear engine as well lmao ?? and yeah it wont be easy but it will sure as hell be fun, I was thinking I might be able to stretch the body between the original door line and where the rear window goes to give it less of a shortened vw bus look because right now thats kind of what it looks like lol. The main differences between my deuce and that one is thats a truck and mine a SD, also im going to try and give mine as little of a nose as possible which is going to poise some wheelbase problems which hopefully stretching the body could fix, if you have any ideas on how to solve the wheelbase conundrum  id love to hear it!
