I needed a break from a 64 Galaxie Restomod I've been working on so I thought I would do a quick build and throw together one of the 8 or 9 32 Fords I have in my closet.  

The inspiration was a 1:1 car I saw for sale a few months ago on the  Vanguard motor sales website. I liked how the GM blue looked on it. ( the photo of the rear view is the color of the model. The other pics are not the right color. Don't ask me how that happened.)

The model is box stock except for the following: Top chopped 2.5mm. suspension lowered about 3mm, firewall from Revell 32 roadster, wheels are the wire rims from the Revell 32 sedan with the spokes removed and the steely from the Revell 32 5 window inserted, and finally the banjo steering wheel is from the Revell 29 Ford roadster.

Always liked the 32 Ford 3-Window and 5-window.  Those colors in the pics sure do look a lot different.  Nice build.

Great looking paint finish and color. The chopped top is in good proportion to the body. Like how you made your wheels.

Nice 32. The stance  and mild top chop look great. I like what you did with the wheels too. Well done Ron.

Thanks for your comments Dave. Glad you like it.

Hi AL. Thanks for commenting. I am sure your 32's will come out just fine.

Hey Dave, thanks for your comments. The wheels worked out ok. I wanted the rear wheels to be reversed, so that is why I did them the way I did instead of just adding beauty rings.

Very nice!

I like everything about it, especially the stance and color.

Thanks for commenting Bob.  When I saw the video of the 1:1 car on Vanguard motor sales I too liked the color, and the interior of the real car was done almost exactly like the interior components in the Revell 32 5 window.

Great job Ron, and I agree - - - the GM blue looks great on that car! Interestingly enough, your other pictures give the car a "Tahitian Turquoise" vibe, and it too looks good on your car! :)
