Rick Schmidt Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Finished up this 32 Ford Roadster today. Built this for a friend. He asked me to build it so I agreed as long as he let me have my way with it. As ya see he was cool with that. Started with the Monogram 32 and tossed all the vintage parts aside and got into a Revell Kit.... This car has the Revells front and rear suspesion the center section of the frame so the modern ladder bars will hook up and the full 302 from the Revell Kit. And a shot of it next to an earlier encounter I had with a Monogram 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I keep coming back to these two models . . . they are a wonderful reminder of how much fun you can have by just simply opening the box and working with what comes in 'em. Great job. The yellow one is still my fave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Schmidt Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks for the compliments guys Gave it to its owner and he was happy Nathan to answer your question the fenders on this kit are molded to the Chassis. On my channeled 32 I took a chance and cut them away from the frame was kinda an experiment once I succeded I went ahead and built it. I dunno that it'd make a good highboy tho once ya get the fenders off the frame aint a thing of beauty and is missing a lot of the feature of a 32 Rail Mines channeled body just hides it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolplastic Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Rick very cool 32's. Rick I noticed your from Lawton. I am about 80 miles east of ya. Is there any good hooby shops out near Lawton? I was out there two weeks ago with a task force helping with the fires in the mountains but didnt think my fire chief would approve of me taking a brush rig all over Lawton looking for a LHS. The nearest one to me is 100 miles away in Norman. There is a Hobby Lobby in Ardmore but their choices are very liimited. Its mostly the internet/ebay for me. Nice to see another Okie on this (my only) conection to this hobby I love so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Schmidt Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 John No Lawton sucks when it comes to LHS all we got is a Hobby lobby too. Gotta thank ya for what ya doin if it weren't for ya folks we'd probably lost a lot more out in the Mountains This been a bad year for fires here. We had a massive one west of town rolled from the morth end to the south end of town right along the city limits burned very few occupied homes tho. had some up around Medicine Park not long ago I think that one got a few houses too. Hopefully we're gettin outta this drought and can get some of this rain around us now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepperdrumstix Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I have always liked the looks of the stock front end with full fenders and bumpers on a '32 Ford. This one in "sear your eyes" yellow is nearly perfect. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
