'32 Widebody and Friends..the more the merrier.

[Peter Lombardo]

Right now the Timbs Special Streamliner is getting the bulk of my attention….but for the past few months I have also been working on 3 additional cars. Please don’t mind the mess on my work bench…..well actually, I kinda’ cleaned it up for these shots…so go figure……….anyway, first up is what I call my ’32 Widebody. This is a Revell ’32 Ford roadster body, widened especially in the rear to fit on a modified AMT Prowler chassis. It has a blown Chrysler Hemi up front with the trans set in the back and I opened the doors…suicide style. There is a resin ’32 Ford grille up front and it will have the cycle fenders up front with traditional “bigs and littles” with wide whitewalls and baby moons.

Next up is the 1934 Ford Sedan. This is a Jimmy Flintstone resin body on the AMT coupe chassis and running board fenders. This has the kit ohv V8 in it and is painted a pale Green on the bottom and pearl white on top and then a top coat of clear with a green metalflake over the car followed by plain clear gloss over that ….the doors were cut open (especially difficult with a resin body) also suicide style.

And lastly, this is also an AMT 1934 Ford 5 window coupe only the top was removed. I opened the doors, normal style here and grafted on a windshield and front cowl from the Testers Coupester. This is for the Smoothster, but they include the part in the Coupester kit. The top is from a mid 1960’s Corvette. This will also have period style bigs and smalls with wide whitehalls and most likely baby moons…..I think anyway.

If I don’t have a messy work bench and a number of projects going…something just doesn’t feel right.

I like 'em all- any one of them is worthy of bench time if you ask me!

I had an idea of using a Prowler as the base to a more traditional-style rod, maybe seeing this one progress will rekindle that idea.
