This was a quick build, actually a resurrection. I started in with a badly built but nicely painted 3 window kit. Stripped all the ugly off of it and dug through the catacombs to come up with some parts. It’s all box stock, added all the suspension component that were missing with some fresh chrome parts, added the small block ford and painted it in shades of black, de chromed the headers and added the valve covers from a source unknown. No engine wiring this time.  Final touches were the rear wheels and tires from an older 32 highboy. And the front has Cadillac sombrero hubcaps. The finishing piece is the stock headlight bar sectioned and the ends used as uprights(saw this done on a YouTube channel) small headlights were from a 5 window kit. 
overall it’s another finished kit for the display case. All comments are welcome.

Thank you David, I was going for a subtle look.

Awesome work, gotta love a 32 street rod.

Thank you David, and yes the 32 with 15 different body styles leads to a lot of variations to make in plastic.

Nice! I’ve recently enjoyed refurbishing a couple of older builds (Double Dragster set) and looks like you’ve done a fine job. I like the color. Do you remember what it is?

Thank you and to be honest Dennis I do not remember the colour or even the source.
