Bullybeef Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 I love the almost stock look of this and after seeing the 34 wheels on there I’m hooked on the look! Well done sir! 3
espo Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 Great looking paint finish. Like the detailed Flathead engine. 1
Coyote_6 Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 Very cool. Copper engine for the win! Just cool. Steve 1
mrm Posted September 9, 2024 Posted September 9, 2024 Very classy color combo. The yellow fog lights are a great touch. In combination with the colors it adds a great deal of character to the car. 2
ozmodeler Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 Great build,I love that maroon on early Fords ,it just looks right ! The fog lights are so cool. 1
Zippi Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 I'm liking this one Rooster. Those colors work together really well. That 2K clear just lays down and does a nice job over the Tamiya TS paint. Great looking little Hot Rod. 1
ncbuckeye67 Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 Great looking build. I really love the paint! 1
XYHARRY Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 Very cool, these early hotrods were built on teenage budgets and many were stripped down standard 'jalopys'. Your 32 really fits the bill. Well done Rooster. Cheers, David. ?? 1
stavanzer Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 Laser Sharp Build! I really like the colours you chose, and the de-chroming works well. The Fog Lights are an inspired touch, and the paint on the engine is very well done. The complete package works well. Good Show. 1
Kenmojr Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 What a great nostalgia hot rod look to this... 1
James2 Posted September 12, 2024 Author Posted September 12, 2024 Thanks for the nice comments, all. It may not be period correct, but it was a fun little quicky build. I have enough spare parts to build a few more early Fords, so you just never know when one more may show up.
STU111 Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 I really like the old school feel to this one, nice maroon paint, detailed flathead and wire wheels. This build makes me want to get a copy of this kit for myself when they arrive in Australia. Thanks for sharing this one. ??
Phildaupho Posted September 17, 2024 Posted September 17, 2024 Good looking traditional hot rod. Really like the addition of the fog lights.
spencer1984 Posted September 17, 2024 Posted September 17, 2024 Very clean work, and I really like all the small details and upgrades you've included!
Dennis Lacy Posted September 28, 2024 Posted September 28, 2024 Rad! Love the fender-less and wire wheel combo. Those larger 34 wires and tires also go well proportionally with the stock height too. Hard to go wrong with TS11 and digging the copper accents. ? Are the fog lights simply the optional smaller headlights from the kit?

Andrew McD Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 I have this one in the stash and have been debating what direction to take it in; I think you've given me some inspiration. The wheels really add to the look of this one. Great job!
