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.

Great looking Hot Rod. Like the color and the finish. Clean looking engine and front end.

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
