This build was originally started on The Official '32 Tudor Sedan Build-Off! thread. If you would like to see the work in progress you can see it here THE OFFICIAL '32 TUDOR SEDAN BUILD-OFF! - WIP: Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum

Its been a while since anything has been done to my '32 that I have been building on the build-off thread. I'v got 2 early iron's in the fire right now, the other being a '30 model A coupe. Have been bouncing between this 32 and the 30. I've decided to start a thread on the '32 instead of on the build-off thread as that one has been over for a while and would rather finish it here.

The last time I did any work on this build was back in feb this year, and it was put back into the box for another day. On to the '30 coupe and a couple other things I went. Took the summer off and have decided to get this '32 out of the box and back on track. Long story short, I try'd a couple things out at the rear of the car. Had a crazy idea for tail lights and license plate placement. I did the tail lights.........It was a bit of work................in the box it went.

Out of the box and on the bench, first thing to do was cut those tail lights out and fill the holes to get ready for the next attemp on lighting.

The next plan is just going to be something simple. I keep doing things in this area and end up filling big holes I've created. For instance, the first license plate location, didn't look good. Gotta at least try or you'll never know. The second location is much better for the license plate, unfortunately didn't take any pics during it's construction. For the tail lights, I'm using some round tubing and some lights out of I don't know what kit(can't remember at the moment). I figured out where I wanted the lights to go and started drilling holes for the tubing to go in. Glued the tubiing in place, sanded it down flush and checked the fit of the lense, Perfect. This is what I'm sticking with, no more changes back here. Or I thought, ended up adding a 3rd brake light to finish things off. Ok,now it's done

Well, with this area out of the way, some primer needs to go on and get it ready for paint. As far as color choice? I keep changing my mind everytime i thought a color has been picked. Till next time..............................

Close to being done with any more mods. If there is any, they will be small. But, this is model building so anything can happen, Brother!
