'32 Deuce 5 window coupe

[crazyjim]

I didn't want a full fendered coupe and I didn't want a highboy, so I kinds, sorta combined them together. Color is HOK Meteor Maroon with a couple coats of clear and finished with The Treatment Model Car Wax. Taillights are from a '69 Camaro; polished aluminum exhaust tips; truck lid is hinged with a removal support rod and inside is one of my cast fuel cells; I used the hemi and wired & plumbed it; I used some wire to hold the headlights. I cut the running boards off the kit pieces and tried to wrap the rear fenders around the back. I took off some massive amounts of plastic from the front fenders and sanded them so they would flow better. The interior features high back bucket seats & flocking.

Another outstanding build there Jim - The color is perfect - Thanks for posting pic's - Joe

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Joe.

Almost finished with the '62 BelAir and a '54 F100 pickup. And I started an Auburn roadster - that's going to be a hot rod! It's in the purple pond right now getting stripped.

Gotta get going and start dinner - London broil, white rice, salad.

It's different....I like it! Is that your mug in the upper pass side of the windshield or do you have a ghost attached to this car?

[crazyjim]

Glad you like it Greg. That must be a reflection from the overhead lights. I didn't use the camera flash. Maybe it is a ghost. Should I call Ghostbusters?

Nice looking!! i really like the louvered trunk. A true hot rod.

Very nice build Jim. Nice touch with the bobbed fenders.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Monte & Wayne. Looking forward to seeing you and your builds in Gainesville, Wayne.

I likes it. The color is just right. Good details in the engine and chassis.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Dr. Cranky. I like those HOK paints. If you look close in the 1st & 4th pic, you can see the #1 bead crimpers I've started using on fuel lines - much cheaper than AN fittings. My next builds will feature a crankcase dip stick. One of these days I'll figure out throttle linkage.

[Jantrix]

Excellent work Jim! I love the headlight bar. Very different. I'm a little torn on the fenders, but that's just me. I'll have to wait and see it in the flesh. Is it too late to yank those wheels off? The mold seam on those tires sorta sticks out.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Rob. It seems I always forget something in my rush to get another model done. The wheels are glued on and I don't think I'll put it in the freezer to get them off. I'll try to remember for the next build.

Certain cars are and always will be Classics.

The 32 five window coupe is one of them.

You have done this Classic up right, looks great.

Hey Jim,

Nice, nice nice, looks just right to me!! A little different, but that is what makes it cool, you did a great job. Thanks for posting for us, London Broil sounds good, have to get to the store.

Thanks for the good words, Mike.

The london broil w/white rice & salad was good. I marinate the meat in Jack Daniels Teriaki marinade overnight. Excellent flavor.
