rmvw guy Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Where did everybody go? I'm still planning on finishing this one. Going to Indy today where I hope to pick up some pipe screen, you know the real fine screen used in pipes. I want to use this for my cowl vent which I have cut open. This is the one thing I feel that has halted my progress. Now to move on, I hope. Kind of want to build the Rat Roaster next. Sorry to see this one die, always loved the old AMT '32s.
rmvw guy Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I just refuse to let this one die until I finish this project. This was and still is my first community build project. I robbed some screen from my kitchen faucet for the cowl, stole some tail lights from the AMT '25 T kit, also where the headlights came from. Started a check off list for this one 7 or 8 things left to do. Here's some more pictures with my inspiration book. Hope to have it under glass soon. Thanks for looking once again.
rmvw guy Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Worked on it a little more but, now my list keeps growing again. Plus I don't think anyone is watching. Painted up a jack but, can't seem to get a good close-up. Made new spliter bars front and rear from aluminum rod.
rmvw guy Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks Derick, and finally someone commented on this post besides me!
rmvw guy Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Still trying to get some light in the trunk.I think I am going to use this little skull shifter from Scale Dreams.Just for fun, AMT '32 day at the shop. Think I'm going out with a BANG!!!! Edited February 20, 2013 by rmvw guy
rmvw guy Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks Derick, not sure what IMHO cars were but, I always loved these old AMT kits.
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) I'm still a'buildin for this one, just got side-tracked. Finally found a color I like yesterday, on the Pearl-Ex learning curve right now. Decided on the Caddy mill. Firewall, tunnel and floor work... Everything starting to fit... Rear end mocked up at the right ride-height, now working on driveshaft tunnel and rear suspension... Edited February 20, 2013 by Ace-Garageguy
rmvw guy Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks, Ace- Garageguy, I was beginning to think I was all alone here. You have the most awesome '32 going that I have seen on here. I had noticed it on your own thread a while back and just assumed it was finished and I missed it. Good to have you back!
rmvw guy Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) In My Humble Opinion = IMHO LOL I guess old guys like me need a dictionary for the new age. I thought LOL= Lots of Love for a long time. Edited February 21, 2013 by rmvw guy
rmvw guy Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) hehe yea I know what you mean.. if it was not being in to gaming for a long wile.. I would not know that ether.. sometimes I see ones I don't under stand and I have to ask. LOL I could only guess what AMT stands for. A model toy maybe? Edited February 21, 2013 by rmvw guy

exesivefire Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Wow, glad I stumbled on this thread... I never really gave the amt kits to much of a second look. But this thread has me looking for a few kits..
rmvw guy Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I personally would like to see it. You could PM Junkman since it is his thread. It's a yes from me even if just for inspiration and it's not really a contest, just for fun.

But this thread has me looking for a few kits.. This is another one based on the old AMT kit I've got going...full thread here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59708 Edited February 24, 2013 by Ace-Garageguy
rmvw guy Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Got the skull shiftier installed an working on a few other things. Also made new windshield, I thought the kit one was too thick.
rmvw guy Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 This is another one based on the old AMT kit I've got going...full thread here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59708 Looking at this makes me want to start all over again. This no longer looks like the original AMT kit. It's starting to look like a real car I would love to own. Beautiful work Bill.
rmvw guy Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I am going to call this one finished today finally. A few more pictures of final detail then it is going Under glass. Thanks for all the possitive comments on this thread and i will continue to watch the rest of you guys.
rmvw guy Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 There is always something. After I looked at the pictures on here I realized I forgot my steering box. Am I the only one that does this?
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Hey Ron, I'm really liking your little green roadster and all of the choices you made for it. The car has a great period feel and look, and the steering looks like it worked out well and adds a lot to the presence of the model. As far as forgetting the steering box goes...I do that kind of thing sometimes, or miss flaws in something. That's why I think the advent of digital photography is such a great tool for modeling. Imagine how much it would cost to develop negatives and get prints of all of these photos. Thanks for the kind words about my roadster. I've honestly been wasting too much time lately and haven't got much building done at all. Need to change some bad habits.
rmvw guy Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks Bill. I'm still not happy with my photos. Thanks for all the encouragement, I can't wait to see yours finished it should be a show winner.
1930fordpickup Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Ron I thought you had Wireless steering . If you would not had said anything I would have missed it . Looks great .
