1932 ford

[E St. Kruiser50]

A friend in our club got a handful of these at a hobby shop in his area of Washington. He gottum' cheap, so he passed the savings on to us - $7.50 for the unopened kit.

It's a really kool kit, with bags of parts and screws. There are parts that get glued too - so it's a real kit .

Must be at least a 100 parts in it.

Never wanted to pay the price at the LHS"s, or box stores, but couldn't pass this up .

This is just a fun one day project, that's a kind of no-brainer, but I needed that today .

Here's a couple of starting pics, then I'll post it finished.

$7.50!? You suck, Dave!

As the Hemmings Motor News guys say, "Well bought".

Great Price....I've built both versions of the SOHC....that FE looks sweet!

Well, here she is - My first ever one day project, and it was fun .

Very nicely engineered kit, and no problems. Went together really well with no drama.

Looks good all finished too .

Each of the two carbs have 11 pieces each, plus other pieces of connecting linkage.

I'll post it "Under glass" with the air cleaner - It's pretty cool .

that looks great and it was probably fun to do! its nice that you really dont need to detail or paint it, looks great right out of the box.

but you know i have to say, what would have been even cooler is if this was 1/8 scale instead of 1/6. that way it would be an engine swap for the big t etc cars. i guess it would be too small to justify a separate kit then but i always think of the missed opportunities when things are issued in one-off scales.
