More 1/32 scale...

[blunc]

This kitbash started out as a Lindberg '34 Ford coupe with parts from Monogram Nova and Charger kits with some parts box mixed in.

The seats are drilled and hand sewn, the firewall fabricated from evergreen sheet plastic, and BMF (my first application of that product) for the radiator grill. The headlights came from one of the Pyro "Brass" kits.

Glad to see another 1/32 scale builder here. Maybe we can start a new trend........?

Nice detail work on the model Mike...... very impressive!

Hey Mike, NICE! For 1/32,..... that looks like 1/25th. Where did you get the motor?

One other thing. I wonder if we're related. I've got some family down in Texas.

Thank you all for the compliments.

> Mark, that motor came from the 1/32 Monogram Nova kit, that kit also gave up the back half of it's chassis, plus front and rear suspension for this bash. ( we may be related but I haven't heard of any close family in Texas)

I have been hoping some resin caster might start casting a few 1/32 scale motors but haven't seen any yet. If any "caster" feels like exploring that niche market I'm sure I can come up with: a caddy V16, Hemi, small block Chevy, Y-block Ford,

funny-car Hemi, Pontiac V8 and Corvette ZR1 engines that can be prepped for casting, it's just possible that the 1/32 scale builders would buy them instead of having to scratchbuild their engines...

And now for some more photos...

for this photo I placed a wheel/tire from an AMT 1/25 scale GTO as a scale reference.

a nice shot of the engine bay.

The back end, notice the 1/25 scale Mustang tail lights that have had one lens removed.

3/4 front view, I think it's great that Testors rattle can paint looks this good after twenty years.

3/4 top view gives a decent shot of the rumble seat, I created that by cutting the original bench seat down to fit, then sewed some cloth to it.

A shot of the "narrowed" dash from the Monogram Charger kit ( I have some interesting plans for the Hemi in that kit )

and finally, the chassis, I must have done a real good job because I can't spot where I grafted the Nova chassis so that I could have real rear suspension, the "cherry-bombs" came from a Corvair kit.

Mike,

What a Super build ...reminds me a lot of the old Dave Shuklis build of the '40 Ford Coupe from years ago !!!

This is really cool Mike. You did a great job on it. The added photos give a great view at all of the work. You may want to check out, ACME License Maker, this is a website that you can create license plates for your models. I use them all of the time. It's free!
