'32 Coupe "Betty Lou" Custom Low Boy w/ Lincoln V12, Ardun heads, and S.C.o.T. blower 1:25

[ea0863]

This one started with an Iceman Collections 3-D printed fantasy motor that looked too sweet to hide under a hood. It went together nicely with a '32 Ford tranny grafted on.

Put in front of a Jimmy Flintstone chopped 5 Window Coupe body (NB213), and the two seemed just made for each other.

The frame, interior, and miscellaneous bits came from the ubiquitous Revell 5-Window Coupe 2'n 1 kit.

The frame was stretched 6mm to accomodate the V12, but otherwise required little else in terms of modifications. The toughest part was channeling the body over the frame rails, and altering the interior to fit. The front tires were from an AMT Wire Wheels & Whitewalls customizing set, while the rears were from an AMT Racemaster Dragster Slicks set.

Once completed with its long and lean good looks, graphics were applied from various sources, and "Betty Lou" was ready to debut. In Bob Seger's words;

I got the story here

It's hot off the press

Brace yourself now

And take a deep breath

Grab a hold of something

Hold on tight

Betty Lou's gettin' out tonight

Thank you much gentlemen. I really enjoyed building this one, and the name didn't reveal itself until the last graphic went on

All the best components brought together with a beautiful looking finish and door art. The engine is sort of the center peace but there is so much else going on here.

Very unique and interesting Deuce Coupe and also well built.

Thank you much David. I'm actually a newbie to old school hot rods - - heck I even had to look up what the difference is between chopped, channeled, and sectioned!  But I do love stuffing beautiful weird engines into cars and showcasing them, and this one came out looking pretty sleek.
