rmvw guy Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) This is my AMT '32 Ford from a CBP. When the V8 Ford was first introduced in 1932 the previous 4 cylinder engine often had more HP than the V8 because of hot rodders. That and the resent introduction of the Rat Roaster is why I am calling this the Flathead Roaster. This is based on a '50's hot rod. My inspiration came from a photo in a book called Hot Rods. Modifications include a hot rod 4 cylinder with a split exhaust manifold and twin carburetors, '40 Ford dropped front axle with pose-able steering, open trunk with tools, open cowl vent, bobbed rear fenders and Testors Mystic Emerald paint.

Roadracer Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 That looks great! You done a excellent job on that!
slusher Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Man, thats clean Ron, nice touch on the baby moons. Really sharp build. love the color also....
Dan Helferich Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Very nice hot rod. You don't see those hot rodded 4's in scale rods very often.
Duntov Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 This is some really nice work.... I like what you did with and old AMT kit..... These are still some of my sentimental favorites (many of my first ever builds in the 50's and 60's)....you did a great job here!!!
TooOld Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 A hot rodded four banger ! That's great , excellent looking build !
Bernard Kron Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Very original and well executed take on the AMT Deuce roadster. I don't I've ever seen anything quite like it. Lots of nice details, too. Bravo!
wrecker388 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Sweet! Very cool, love the paint, tools, ah heck who am I kidding...I LOVE THE ENTIRE BUILD!
realgone58 Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Awesome build! Nice to see a 4 banger done up right. Mystic Emerald is one of my favorite shades. Looks great on this.
Sixties Sam Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Nice!! Very creative version of an old favorite! The hopped up 4 banger is a cool idea. The color is a favorite of mine, and just seems right for a hot rod like this. Great work! Sam
rmvw guy Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks everybody! Every one of your comments made my day, much appreciated and helped make my project seem worth while.
Gluhead Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Banger Deuce! Now there's something you don't see every day. Rad.
Albie D Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 The driveway pic is most excellent. The banger and detailing overall is great, this would be WAY cool as a 1:1...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Man, I LOVE it !! Just saw all the finished shots over here. Really cool little car. Great job with one of the kits that started it all.
rmvw guy Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks again today for all the comments which once again made my day. I think this is probably the most compliments I have ever received on a model in such a short period of time. To me this shows the popularity that still exists for these old AMT '32s. They are still a simple fun build the way it all started for me and probably for a lot of you.
TLes Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Looks fantastic Ron! Keep them coming, you're on a roll.
