Revell '32 Ford Sedan

[David G.]

Those wheels would fit the build theme, do you plan to strip and re-chrome them?

The blue is nice but it reminds me of a locally built 1:1 Deuce Phaeton that was the ISCA Grand Champion the it was shown on the show circuit, it was a two tone with a lighter metallic blue on the main body and about the color you are going for on the fenders and frame. My personal choice would probably be the gold or a bright green, maybe even a transparent green over the gold, or a pure yellow kandy over the gold for a nice Kandy lemon yellow.

I've considered going two-tone on one  of my 32's, using white primer on one and black primer on the other, but the same color of metallic on top,.

[Roadrunner]

Probably not. They look like they can be used more or less as-is.

These are the wheels and tires that I may be using on this project. Look at all that chromed flash! One way or the other, I'll seek out a wheel/tire combination that looks good to me, as that choice will most likely really make the car more visually interesting.

The best Cragars I've seen so far are the ones from the amt Baldwin Camaro kit...

Having just botched a '70 Challenger that I had been working on, making it useless for an upcoming competition, I intend to get cranking on this baby tonight.

[Roadrunner]

All chassis chrome parts now completely stripped bare. I have no idea if I'll use all this stuff or not.

[Roadrunner]

Interior given the first of two brown colors (Tamiya XF-64).

[Roadrunner]

I'm rather surprised by this kit. While a floor stick shift and parking brake are provided, there's no indication of where they are to be mounted. Also, there are no window cranks, door latches or arm rests,... none.

[Roadrunner]

I should have clear coated all of this darker brown prior to masking, but completely forgot. A rubber glove protected the paint from scratching before I masked though.

[Roadrunner]

And now with the lighter Tamiya XF-72 applied, i think it looks pretty decent, though I'll need to touch up the darker brown a bit here and there. Thoughts?

[Roadrunner]

All major suspension components now glued to chassis, save one, which I've apparently already lost, but wasn't going to be visible anyway (thank goodness). Round rods at front and rear will be replaced with Plastruct items.

Good colors for the interior!

You have my attention....

Thanks, I like them too, though I would have preferred my Floquil earth for the lighter color, which, at least for now, has gone missing.

Nothing fancy here, for sure, but I do hope at least for an attractive outcome.

[Brudda]

Like it! Any 32 build is a fun build. Cool!

[NOBLNG]

Nice work on the interior so far. I like the blue color for the body too.?

[Roadrunner]

Hood assembly now complete, all right angles broken and buffed; ready for primer. I also fairly heavily reinforced the interior, to help withstand the rigors of polishing.

[Roadrunner]

These gouges were on the body when I opened the kit. Looks like I have some puttying/sanding in my future.

[Roadrunner]

While I was already spraying something else semi-gloss clear, I went ahead and sprayed the seats and dash.

[atomicholiday]

Looking good Kevin.  Can't wait to see how this turns out. 

[Zippi]

I like the two tone colors of the interior.  Looks good.  

[Roadrunner]

One of several painting experiments I've conducted, has been the painting of wooden display bases in different colors. This is way more "sparkly" than it appears in the photo, and may well be used when I do a solid black car, which I will probably eventually do.

[Roadrunner]

Admittedly not much of an update, but tonight I added the round tubes/bars at front and rear of chassis.

[Roadrunner]

Now I have a somewhat bigger issue, the damage (apparently from a botched attempt at scribing) extends all the way around the driver side area of the body. I've now added fine surfacer around this area and will attempt to sand out. Wish me luck.

[Roadrunner]

A closer look at that photo above, seems to indicate that the same scribing was done around the wheel opening arch, and perhaps the door lines themselves.
