The 32 Ford coupe 4 in 1 and 32 Ford Vicky 3 in 1 came out with dirt track art work on the box in 2006 I got them right away, only to find out the only thing in the box to make a dirt tracker were the decals and some ideas on a supplement sheet. It did list where you could get the parts ,so on the shelf they went for years. This weekend I decided to build one. I had cast some tires awhile back and found some race parts I can use. Drilled out kit wheels and opened up passenger window. Since the interior is not being used this is the perfect time to lower it a little. So it will also need some correct flathead headers, bump bars, side bars ,roll bars ,tires, floor, etc but it does have nice decals and box art.

Got everything done except the headers. I also opened up the top. Once I get those headers done and decide on the color / colors I can get this one done.

I like the bumpers quite a bit, were they in the kit? Probably not. Really, check out what Ron Coon has. He's a super easy guy to deal with is and is also a racer.

Ken, it looks cool already. I love building the old modifieds, and as Bob suggests Ron Coon Resins has just about anything you would ever need to help make a nice build. Good luck and I will be waiting to see your finished build.

Everything race related either came from the parts box or scratchbuilt. The front bumper evergreen plastic and a  piece of chassis from a Nascar kit, therear bumper is evergreen plastic and a cut down palmer kit rollbar. Side bump bars are evergreen . Roll bars are parts box bits and pieces. Tires are resin cast. Everything else is kit. This kit was basically a 32 Vicky kit with fancy box art and race decals. No race parts.

I have a good NASCAR junkyard to pick parts from. I scavenge roll cage pieces all the time. I have more plastic stock than most hobby shops. I but up .093" tubing #223 when I see it. Works well for any cage work.

KEN,

Sure that you know, FRED made a bit of an "error" on the headers on this,  flatheads only had 3 ports on each side (center port emptied both center cylinders), thus, only three pipes per side, a fact Fred learned after the box art was already done.

FANTASTIC work so far
