Twokidsnosleep Posted May 24 Author Posted May 24 (edited) Vent rough in done and space boxed in with styrene and a vent lid added. It rotates opened and closed on curved pieces through those slots. Not sure about making it a functional moveable item though as would need a handle from under the dash🤔 Edited May 24 by Twokidsnosleep 5
Twokidsnosleep Posted May 24 Author Posted May 24 (edited) Been watching Stacey David’s 32 Ford 1:1 build, really cool! Anyone got this kit?? Have my eyes out for it now Edited May 24 by Twokidsnosleep
Mattilacken Posted May 24 Posted May 24 (edited) Nice work on that vent! Regarding the kit you are looking for. The black one with flames is the same kit. And it also have the same flares for example. https://www.super-hobby.se/products/Ford-Rat-Roadster-1932.html Edited May 24 by Mattilacken 1
bobss396 Posted May 24 Posted May 24 I did an AMT '32 a couple years ago and make the cowl vent fixed. I added some brass screen to it, more bother than it was worth. 1

That’s funny, I was thinking to exactly do that It would seem that an open vent without a screen would just invite bugs I will paint that entire boxed in part of the vent black and then decide on a screen or not 1
Twokidsnosleep Posted May 26 Author Posted May 26 (edited) Engine cowl’s thick styrene seam removed, firewall trimmed thinner and sanded to sit more flush, thin styrene flange added, side detail bead filled in, one door hinge removed, start of angled windshield supports. Rear window is already oval, I am not touching the door height. These are the ‘30 to ‘32 mods. Edited May 26 by Twokidsnosleep 7

Belugawrx Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Coming along there Scott, like what you did with the upper body lines 1

I have the Molotow pens and refill so that is an option. But, They seem to have faded in their chrome with time in the pens. Also are very fragile to touch for quite some time when you use them.

Another idea is the mirror bottom in display cases in cases from Hobby Lobby and cut it with scissors it’s thin metal.. 1
Leo64 Posted May 29 Posted May 29 When you get around to the engine, I know that it can be hard to find the Man-A-Fre intake manifold with Rochester carbs. I found a 3D printed manifold on eBay from 3DScaleparts, but I don't see it listed on their website. You can try contacting them to see if they still offer it. I also found a 3D file for the Rochester carb from the Cults3D website to try and print my own. Steve A. 1

I could buy a finished resin engine for another $28 USD with that manifold but would rather have the stl file so I can tweak the size to fit properly
