MAN!!!!! Thanks for the photos...I need some of those!!!! I spot a bunch of cool stuff for other builds!!!!!!

[chadrob30]

No problem. It's basically a rehash of all the other hi boy kits released in the last 20 years. However, the wheels, tires, interior, and blower assembly are worth the price of the kit to me, which incidentally was $20 at HobbyTown USA.

That's what I'm talking about!!!!

Cool ! Anybody wanna trade the rims & guitar from their kit, PM me.....PLEASE !!

[Gluhead]

Ah, finally, some good tree pics! Thanks!

I don't think we could really have expected a full new tool on this, as some had hoped for, but I will have no trouble at all overlooking a little rehash to get the new rolling stock and other new goodies.

now im not well versed on what is or isnt a "rat rod" but all the ones I have seen before looked like a pile of junk parts mashed together. What makes this a rat rod? to me it looks like a 32 ford street rod with no hood

[lanesteele240]

thanks for the awesome spread of what is in the kit

[Del Austin]

Need a bunch of these just for the parts!

It's not a rat rod. "Rat Roaster", as in: roasts cars with rat motors.

[chadrob30]

No problem fellas, glad I could show you what was in the box. They also had the rehashed Willy's Pro Street kit, but that will wait til next payday, lol.

[pharoah]

I'm in! Thanks for the pix!

i see where i went wrong here. thank you

A lot of nice parts in there, but the least Revell could have done was to put in a dropped BEAM axle as is in the real car

instead of a dropped tube one.

[Bartster]

Easy mistake. A lot of us thought the same thing upon 1st (mis)reading it, lol !

[Bernard Kron]

Thanx! This is invaluable to assess the kit. I'll receive mine in the next couple of days amd this will give me a hedz up on what to expect. Great pictures!

[CEKPETHO BCE]

That looks beautiful. If only Revell would sell those firewalls by themselves.... I need like one or two... or 10 for all my other deuces.

[RAT-T]

COOL, THE TIRES LOOK GREAT!

[Ace-Garageguy]

So, how are you going to build it? Any mods planned?

[crazyrichard]

Nope, it's not. Look at the back end when you get one. The RR has been modified to fit tight around the gas tank, just like the 1:1 car. Subtle, but it is different. It's new tooling. Is it radically different? Nope. The roadster tooling was just plain wore out, and Revell chose to cut a new mold to do this kit and help preserve the future of the '32 series.
