'32 Ford 3W

[restoman]

This is Revell's 5W kit, with a few changes.

I'm using one of Drag City's nice chopped 3W bodies, with a parts bin 3W interior.

In the mock-up, I see some room, so I'll be using one of Ed's stock firewalls, too.

I ditched the bagged 9" inch in favour of a parts bin QC, bin truck arms and leaf spring, and some homemade shock mounts, crossmember, and track arm.

The kit front end will go in pretty much as-supplied.

The Hemi will use Firepower heads, valve covers, intake & Strombergs from Replicas & Miniatures.

Still need to dig up a set of headers.

Kit tires with chrome reverse rims.

I'm thinking a medium grey with a light brown leather-look interior...

Comments always welcome!

Ah this is going to be an awesome build. I like the mock up all ready. What kit are the wheels from?

The wheels are from the AMT parts pack.

Good looking little Hot Rod coming together there Mike.

The firewall fits with just some clearancing for the bell housing.

I like it far better than the kits' recessed firewall.

Off to a good start, nice collection of parts.

My opinion, needs some more rubber and/or bigger wheels in the rear.

Yeah, but I'm going for a 60's look, before big meats were everywhere.

I did entertain the thought, though...

I like the look - reasonably chopped highboy on pre-war suspension, early hemi, quick change rear.  I'm seeing pie crust slicks ?....with white-walls ??

[chris chabre]

great start. FYI. you dont need the panhard bar the way the suspension is set up.
