351 cleve Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 This was a quick OOB build. I had originally thought about making it a street rod as the "29" is one of my favorite subjects for rodding. But, after attenpting to lower the suspension I quickly realized my best option was to go all stock. This is an old AMT/pos kit. Very poor molds, lots of flashing, and all parts had to be sanded, filed, and fitted before assembly. All in all it's not too bad. I am pleased with the results and I hope you all enjoy.

Bernard Kron Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Very nicely done. While I've built several models from this kit, I never have built it stock. Building it this way, and to this level of quality, emphasizes what a great job AMT did in reproducing this important and classic Ford, in particular the finely detailed bodywork. Thanks for sharing your first rate execution with us! Edited March 11, 2013 by Bernard Kron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Very good build! It's nice to see one stock instead of a hot rod. Great work! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Breza Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I also agree with Sam it's nice to see a stock build than a hot rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yes, I think that was the earliest of the AMT 30s cars. I believe it has the rear molded to the chassis. Not good for modifications. The body is okay and good to mount on another chassis, like an AMT or Revell '32 kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body is okay and good to mount on another chassis, like an AMT or Revell '32 kit. I do believe the rear end is molded separately and one of AMT's finest early kits. I have built one stock like this, a pickup and a woody, they are all easily modified. I think the Model A is one of the finest Fords ever built. Nice job on yours Thomas. The paint is gorgeous.

Just checked and I was thinking of the chassis under the AMT '32 roadster. It's pretty much the same as the later Vicky and Phaeton except those had the rear as separate parts.

One of my first 1/25 scale models was the 5-window '32. Hey Tom, I do it all the time, wish I could remember every part for every kit I've built.
