32 Ford 4dr. Rag Top

[Classic Plastic]

Here's my latest build. An MPC "Switchers" kit. Not to much chassis, engine or interior detail. It was kind of a snoozer, but it kept me off the streets for about a month. I like the way it turned out. The kit does have some potential with about half dozen engine configurations. It also includes two bodies and two sets of rims so there are a few combinations to work with there too. Comments always welcome!

Looks nice, but what year is it? It looks like a 32 body,with a 30/31 Grille shell. It DOES look nice,I was just wonderin if it came like that,or didja put your own flavor to it.NICE build!

Thanks for the comment George. It is totally out of the box stock and supposed to be 32 Ford body, grill, etc. I'm not very familiar with the 30's era so I can't confirm how accurate the parts are. Any input on 30's style rods would be appreciated. Thanks again.

It came out looking really good! I love those carb rams ... those are HUGE! They look like crock pots you could cook a stew in!!

Thanks Mike! Yes, those are huge carb rams. My girlfriend picked out the model because she said: she liked "the horns"! LOL! She's so sweet!

Overall, this is a really nice build up!! I've seen very few of the old MPC Switchers that look this good. I really like to body color, too!

How about a couple of pics without the top.

A '32 grille and grille shell is provided in the Switchers kit. There is also an additional Model A grille in the kit which is supposed to be a "custom" part, although in the 1:1 world, I don't believe anyone EVER put a Model A grille on a Deuce. The bodies in the kit are a '32 Tudor Sedan and a '32 Phaeton. The kit is early '70's era.

Thanks Lyle, I KNEW there was somethin about it that jus din't look right. NEVER saw a 32 with a CHROME grille surround.

Yeah...I think that it looks a lot better without the top!

If I remember, there was also a chopped convertible top option, too.

Thanks for sharing,

Lyle-Thanks for the input and info. You are a 100% correct, the chrome grill is a custom part and the other grill shell offered in the kit is to be painted with a chrome grill insert. I have no knowledge of 32 Fords, I just wanted something different with alot of chrome to match the engine.

Raul- Glad you like the topless version. The MPC kit (my kit anyway) does not include a chopped ragtop. I agree the top down version looks sportyier (sportier?), The ragtop looks like something off the Monkee Mobile..LOL!

Thanks midnight! The color is Testor's Sapphire Blue Metal Flake over a base coat of Metallic Silver.
