wayne swayze Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 A friend gave me a baggy with a 32nd scale mess of a '32 Ford made by Pyro. It was from their60's series called "table tops". It looked much like this..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 He said, "You should make this a highboy and paint it red." So I did. This was the result. After numerous body modifications and scratchbuilding ( frame, suspension including shocks, rolled rear pan and other parts made to fit) , I used the rear view mirrors from a 32nd scale Malibu, turned them around for headlights. Guages were made with aluminum tubing for bezels, and styrene rod for faces, detail painted, steering wheel from the 32nd scale parts box and painted/upholstered the rest. There is no engine, but the remaining under carriage is scratched with parts box mufflers and solder tailpipes and aluminum tips. Hope this will be enjoyed by "blunc".

gwolf Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Nice! That looks great. I saw a bunch of these at the flea market this weekend (in baggies) and I considered it, but I'm a true blue 1/25 scaler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Very nice. Based on the side louvers on the engine cover though, I believe that's a Chevy. I built the same kit, box stock, a while ago: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 You did wonders with that kit. Looks Great ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Shardik, I only used the Chevy as an example of the condition I got the Ford. Sorry for any confusion. I may tackle the Chevy in the future. Again, sorry about that. BTW, your Chevy looks really nice done stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
