carchub Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 I didn't realize how popular this kit is until I looked at all the other '32 fords posted Under Glass! Well here's mine...
carchub Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 The last picture isn't showing up for me, but it won some awards at a show is what the pic was of.
carchub Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 The ripped part on the top is supposed to represent old leather drying out. Also, I 'Scratch Built' a makeshift mount for the alternator. Otherwise, it would have just floated there on the belt! The white walls were painted with Tamyia White Acrylic, instead of using the decal. Tons of detail in this thing...
Foxer Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 You car must have been popular .. considering all the people who must have abused it so! Nice job!
carchub Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Thanks you two! You car must have been popular .. considering all the people who must have abused it so! Yeah! I imagine it as a highschool guy's car in the '50's (lucky guy) or something!
carchub Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Forgot to mention: At some point during the building days of this project I dropped a large wooden ball right onto the frame, smashing the front suspension. After fixing the snapped chrome bars, the car came out with that "negative camber" look on the front wheels...I don't know about you but I think it adds a great 'weathered' effect! Sometimes your greatest masterpieces are in fact accidents!
