FoMoCo66 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hello guys, I just wanted to show you a little project I did over Christmas This is a replica of John Milner's 32 Ford duece coupe. It is a amt/ ertl or a mpc edition of the kit. I got it in a lot of 3 other built up 30s fords. I never liked how the wheels looked on this kit, so I traded them out for chrome reverses off of a 70s release revell 55 chevy (which I turned into a 2 lane blacktop 55). The engine is also from the revell 55, I don't know where the intake came from but I didn't have the correct scoops or carbs in the parts box (crazy I know) so I 3d printed them. The plug wires are thred from a sewing kit and the fuel lines are orthodontic rubber bands. The headers are made out of abs 3d printer filament and the exhaust is out of the spirit of 57 gasser shortened and bent over a candle. This is what it looked like when I got it from the lot(those wheels are really not accurate). Thanks for looking folks. FMO66 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
