Fortheloveofgassers Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Recently I saw a built 1932 Ford Roadster that was a center steer drag car. It had a nice tonneau cover over the drivers area except for where the driver would sit. When I asked my buddies at my local model club. They said it is a AMT kit and that the parts for this build are included in the kit. Sooo here is the question to all of you are much more knowledgable than I am. Which version(s) of the AMT 1932 Ford roadster kit has the parts needed to build the center steer drag race version? Hopefully it will be a verily recent kit. Don't want to break the bank. Thank you in advance.
Muncie Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I've only seen the tonneau cover in black plastic which means it was a very early issue - sorry, don't know which one. Somebody reproduces it in resin.
Draggon Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 The early issues had these parts. Funny thing is, I have about every version of this kit, and I could only find the tonneau in the candy-stripe box issues, the Ford dealer promo and the one with the red "highboy drag racing version" on the side. Replicas and Miniatures as well as P&P resin works have the parts youre looking for. I cant vouch for the R&M parts, but I have the P&P ones. The tonneau cover sorta fits. Then again, it sorta doesnt. Heres a pic of it.
Muncie Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 yeah, the original part is also kinda sorta sometimes fits as well.
Fortheloveofgassers Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks Steve and Glenn, the information and the leads. I may have to make one. Maybe vacuum form it.
