So, ya wanna build a "Tub" ?

[Greg Myers]

What kits are available for your quest ? I can think of a few, AMT's 1927 Model T and '32 Phaeton, Monogram's 1930 Model A and Revell's T Tourning. Sure, you can go your own way and chop the top off a sedan, but these are the kits available.

I think the history on the one in question is a pete and jake build?

[Draggon]

The story on that 32 was that it was done as an anti-spit and polish rod before the days of billet-proof and rat rods. It was painted with brushes and a bucket of red paint at one of the street rod events by the owner and friends. Later on those magazine pages were applied in a sort of decoupage method. What escapes me is who did it.... Bobby may be right, Pete of Pete and Jakes? It was like, 30 years ago I think.

I believe Draggon is spot on. I think it was covered in Hot Rod mag at the time.

IIRC, it was Jake who built that one. BTW, it's not a '32, but a '29 Model A Phaeton body on '32 Ford rails.

My favorite side box art ever. Built Kiln Red 32 with Duvall, this stance, and dropped bar. Awesome, still looks contemporary for most part

[carrucha]

Nice "tub" pictures dudes!

[Draggon]

Something weird in another scale.
