Ken Car-Fanatic Posted April 4 Posted April 4 A lot of the kits I've built through the years where mostly box-stock kits, but when it came to this '32 Ford I decided to try something different. This was done quite a while ago, but it's the most involved custom work I had done. I love old cars, road racing, tuner cars, muscle cars & so that's why this car came out the way it did. Kind-of-a Euro-influenced Street rod. The color is a custom mixed Testors red with fluorescent red mixed in over white primer. The interior Tamiya acrylic & is all custom built with Evergreen layered sheet styrene & square cut & carved pieces, including the center console & map pockets, arm rests & painted door trim. Most other parts where out of my parts box (radio/heater controls, steering wheel & column, gear shift & parking brake lever, mirrors...), the gauges where photo-etched bezels, with printed backing gauges (from some company?). Engine is a Ford Nascar engine (with Chevy valve covers that looked nicer) with custom made exhaust & the Wheels where some Fujimi BBS 19" wheels with Brembo brakes. Thanks for looking. 9

Phildaupho Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Good looking Deuce. You did a great job updating the interior. I have always liked this kit using it for four builds 1
NOBLNG Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Great work Ken. I really like all the scratch building in the interior!👍 1
SpikeSchumacher Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Nice clean build, Ken! The Euro-style treatment really works well on it. Mathias
espo Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Beautiful looking paint finish and of course the color. Like how you did the interior and seats. The wheels do give it a unique look with the exposed disc brakes.

I appreciate the comments & wish I had more time to do more scratch building, but maybe in the future?
Mr. Metallic Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Very nice, the interior is particularly impressive.
