'32 Ford Roadster

[Zippi]

Finished this one up this morning.  This was a build for my Buddy who has a 1:1 32 Ford Roadster.  A good friend of mine donated the 350 crate motor, 350 turbo transmission, and steering wheel.  Paint is Tamiya Semi Gloss Black and the interior is Tamiya Buff.  The exhaust was made out of aluminum tubing and the radiator support rods were made from paper clips and painted body color. My Buddy Gary was very pleased with the model and I was really glad he liked it.

Great looking finishes and like the traditional build style. Your friend can show the model with his car at the next show & shine.

Oh yeah Buddy, looks great and your friends smile is priceless??

He should be pleased with your build- you've done a great job on it. If it reflects the 1:1, I would say that is two nice '32 builds.

Cool build Bob! Gary has the same "haircut" I do ?

[Calb56]

That turned out great.

Nice, clean classic build.

Super sanitary execution and that big smile has got to be a nice reward for such a fine job done!

That's a beauty Bob, even more satisfying when it represent a real car . That semi gloss black gives it that bad boy look.??

Fantastic replica right down to the windshield stickers! Need a few pix next to the full size one! Your friend is a lucky guy to have 2 nice 32 roadsters!
