32 Ford Kustom

[Whitman80]

Hey Y'all! Its been a while since I last posted anything. I had to take some time off to move and work. Last week I finish another 32 Ford. I did a lot of experimenting! Chopped the top, "Z"ed the frame, build a nice looking flathead out of some spare parts. It was a BLAST. I really didn't like the kit I used. It was a reissue from the 70s and most of the plastic needed a lot of trimming and for the most part didn't fit right. There is not interior or glass int this car. I probably going to finish that at a later date, stilling thinking over some different ideas for that part of the model. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Here is the kit I used!

Here is the finished work!

Looks pretty good. I bought that kit when it first came out and wasn't impressed w/ it. The coupe is even worse. What you've done makes it look good though.

Looks nice and mean!! Good looking chop! Will you clean it up, or make it a "welded" seam? Looking forward to seeing more! Jody

Is that the new revell kit?? You made that look like there is no problem at all!!! I have BIG plans for the revell kit. Nevermind. I can see the pic now. Is the revell kit better?

Very nice build of the MPC kit I like everything about it. The chop the stance all very cool.

Abe you ask if the Revell '32 Sedan is any better then the MPC version and the answer is yes, and the biggest reason is the Revell version is more correctly scaled. The MPC Switchers body fits solidly between the AMT and the Revell offerings. The side profile of the AMT kit is seriously wrong with the bottom body line sweeping up toward the frame behind the front doors, where it should make the sweep between the front doors and the firewall. The biggest issue with the Switchers body is it is to narrow. If I didn't have the Revell, I would take the MPC version any day of the week over the AMT offering. It all comes down to prototypicaly correct you want to be.
