AMT '32 Ford

[rmvw guy]

Do you guys think this one is too far along to enter?

It looks ok to me if that matters. We are moving kind of slow here in my opinion so, I will just say anything to get things moving.

i'll bite: "Rootliebed the bonnet"

que?

[Draggon]

Rootliebed the bonnet refers to Rootleib and Co, manufactures of many steel parts and a gaggle of 32 Ford hoods.

I borrowed this idea from Ace-Garageguy, thanks.

.... Rootleib and Co....

ha ha - you had me scratching my head over that one!

thanks for the link

[rmvw guy]

I'm starting to really like this one. I've never built the Phaeton before.

[Draggon]

Woah, dig the Phaeton!

[rmvw guy]

A little progress, layed some paint down on the Phaeton. Tried mixing cheap lacquer with Testors enamel for the first time, man I have been living under a rock for a long time now! This is fantastic! Nice gloss and Quick drying along with easy cleanup. I love it! The Testors cream is a little boreing but, maybe with the orange accents...I don't know yet. Tell me what you think.

[Draggon]

Very nice. The cream has long been a favorite of mine.

Thanks, now I'm thinking maybe some orange pinstripes or scallops.

More pictures of today's progress.

Really looking good, guys !!!!!!!!! I need to get on the stick.

[rmvw guy]

By tapeing two exacto blades together I was able to cut my pinstripes from orange decal paper useing part of the graffic. I then applied them to the Phaeton. I also wired for sparkplugs and made a butterfly for the carb. I love the steering on my Roadster so included a pic.

X2 everyone! I've got alot of catching up to do hard to find the time as of late, but my motivation's high at least, thanks!

[rmvw guy]

Applied ZING to the floor to simulate carpet.

[rmvw guy]

While I was applying the pin stripe decals I broke the windshield post, so had to repair the paint and decided to use the chrome windshield. Next the decals started falling off, so decided to airbrush the stripes on. Also while handeling it the steering wheel post broke and ruined the paint on the dash, so I decided to radius the dash underneath to allow more leg room. Installed mufflers and gas tank. I still love the Phaeton.

[rmvw guy]

The radiused dash and the under cage. Thanks for watching.

[rmvw guy]

I'm calling this one finished and moveing it to Under Glass, thanks for looking.

Hey guys, Just thought I would post some more pictures . Anyone else have anything? Think I remember Ace Garage Guy on another thread looking pretty well done. I'm going to finish up my green one soon and start a new CBP and I guess there is no deadline on this one. I finished another AMT '32 but, didn't post it here do to the non action on this thread. So I am posting a picture of it here now for inspiration. Thought I was done with the Phaeton but, had to change the wheels, so here's the new look. It's also Under Glass. Happy New Year everybody!
