FenderMender Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 These three 1932 Ford Five Window coupes are 1:18 scale from MotorMax and are available either with an exposed engine (a higher priced version) or with an inaccessible lower half engine under a hood screwed to the chassis. Note that Motor Max doesn't reveal this fact in their ads for this particular version. However, upon disassembly of the red and the black-flamed version and removing a huge metal stub molded to the underside of the hood, the upper halves of the engines were scratch built to look authentic as possible. All versions got custom exhaust extensions, "chromed" rear ends, black added to the chrome wheel slots. All grilles were blackwashed, too. The red and flamed versions had their firewalls "chromed" with metallic adhesive-backed tape and scratch-built components; their engines have custom-made valve covers, exhaust manifolds, radiator fans, alternators, oil filler tubes, and fuel injector apparatus as well as the 60 year old decals, "Fuel Injection". The flamed version has no front fenders as the item arrived defective with only one front passenger-side fender, so this was removed for continuity. Thanks for looking....
