I started this way back in 1997 when the Revell 32 3 window coupe was first released. I painted it white and was intending to do some graphics but then it got parked up. I dug it out a few years later and fitted an AMT parts pack 392 Hemi with the goal of a Salt Lakes street driven racer but other projects got in the way. I dug it out again late last year as a contribution to the 32's 90th anniversary. I changed the motor to a Revell 392 Hemi as some of the fitment issues would be overcome and I could speed up construction a bit. Well the usual work and life got in the way so here we are six months into 2023

The following is a short list of modifications I carried out

3" top chop

Front end lowered

Rear end lowered

Full chassis channel job

That's a Looker right there.   Love the old school Hot Rods.  Very nice build of the rare 3-window Deluxe Coupe with suicide doors.

Thanks for the nice comments

re the missing tail lights - still looking through the spares pile for something that I will be happy with - most probably will need to scratch some up

Bill, that is so smoooooth!  I am in awe of people who can chop vintage rooves this nicely and get all the window mouldings re-joined without hiccups!  I struggle on them every time - much respect here for your skill and patience.

Thanks Alan

Good planing and being careful with the cut takes away a lot of the hard work. But it still is quite a chore to get all the mouldings looking good
