Nick Winter Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Got this about 6 months after it was released as a Revell Special edition kit, started it about a year later, then ran into problems, boxed it and forgot about it until earlier this year, I was then on a mission to finish it, So here it is, inspired by a local Hot Rod and Bruce Springsteen song Ram Rod; Hey, little dolly with the blue jeans on I wanna ramrod with you honey, till half-past dawn Let your hair down sugar and pick up this beat Come on and meet me tonight down on Bluebird Street I've been working all week, I'm up to my neck in hock Come Saturday night I let my ramrod rock She's a hot stepping hemi with a four on the floor She's a roadrunner engine in a '32 Ford Late at night when I'm dead on the line I swear I think of your pretty face when I let her unwind Well look over yonder see them city lights Come on little dolly 'n' go ramroddin' tonight Come on, come on, come on little baby Come on, come on let's shake it tonight Come on, come, come on little sugar Dance with your daddy and we'll go ramroddin' tonight Hey, little dolly won't you say you will Meet me tonight up on top of the hill Well just a few miles cross the county line There's a cute little chapel nestled down in the pines Say you'll be mine little girl I'll put my foot to the floor Give me the word now sugar, we'll go ramroddin' forever more The Irony is that I started out with just a Hemi from unkown origin, later found out that it was from the '68 Road Runner, so it literally a Roadrunner Engine I was putting in my '32 Ford. Anyway, bits and pieces from the kit, the parts box, and various aftermarket companies. Enjoy. I already have.

crazyrichard Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 i just love it , looks very very good , awsome result
Helix Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 That's a lot of V8 shoved in the engine bay! Good job
rmvw guy Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 I love the black on this one and the late '60s early '70s vibe. The bare foot pedals are a nice touch. Nice pair of '32s and great pics.
FASTBACK340 Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Anything finished that nicely, and stuffed full of Hemi, is just fine by me! BTW: Did you resist the temptation of orienting some of those foot pedals differently? Edited November 18, 2012 by FASTBACK340
TooOld Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Turned out really nice Nick ! I like the look you've got with the hemi and the wheels . I just returned from a 10 day trip and missed a bunch but am glad I found this one !
John Teresi Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Nick........couln`t have turned out better.......fine build........love both of them.........really like those pedals too!
charlie8575 Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Nick, you've made A LOT of progress. This is more proof of that. Absolutely fantastic job. Charlie Larkin
Nick Winter Posted November 18, 2012 Author Posted November 18, 2012 Thank you Guys, was a long but still pretty fun build. John, yes I thought about configuring the pedals differently but then decided I like this configuration the best. Charlie, I like to think that I'm progressing as a builder. Nick
Duntov Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Very different look for a 32.....nice work!!!!
