Geezerman Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Acording to my records (scatterbrain), I haven't shown these on this forum. I have a Revell 'Goodguys' 32 roadster kit that I want to build on the same order as these two - really early, no doodads or bling, high boy hot rod. Problem is that the Revellkit has too new parts, namely the bagged rear end, dropped frt axle, etc. I'm bashing up a front axle, and I can probably 'guesstimate' the stock rear end set up, but I'd like to get it close, not anal, but fairly close. Everything I Google turns out modified for hot rods. Does anyone have a pic of a stock 32 rear end setup ?? Thanks, Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordh8r Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The cars are great and the garage setting is just over the top. I love it! It looks as if you took those pics in the day light which really sets off the looks of the garage with the shadows and inside shade of the building. Well done!

Helipilot16 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The AMT '34 Ford kit parts should work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezerman Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks, Raul. That's perfect. I can see that the springs I already have made up are too short. I'll make another set. Appreciate the help. Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezerman Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hey those are pretty wicked looking! Never seen a model like those before. These don't come in a kit (as a whole), Doc. The first one was a RPU body with a turtledeck added. The other one was a undersized Revell '34 "California Kid" that I didn't like because it looked out of scale with the rest of my models. I took off the top and narrowed the body for the old roadster build. Both of the old engines, Frontenac and 4 port Riley, were leftovers from other kits that I used more modern engines in.

george 53 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks Geeze! Finally, A use for that nasty lil red body that came in that kit! I used the chassis in a lil Fiat coupe I was buildin, and I'd been wondrin WHAT icud use that body for! It don't look undersized wit 1/2 of it gone!!!

george 53 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Dr Dee, those kits DO come complete,Just add Geezermans imagineation! That is the essence of modeling to me, THAT's why I just HAFTA admire what these guys can do! Just go back in their memories, an build what THEY REMEMBER! I had TOTALLY forgotten about my coucins Ray an Teddy's 48 Chevy dunebuggy! It was just a chassis with rollbars welded in,but it was SURE ALOT OF FUN!!!! These builds remind me of simpler less complicated times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezerman Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 This post is probably so old, no one will see it. But I finished the 32 build. Thanks for all the previous comps, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
