Here's one I finished just after Christmas.
Monogram 30 A Coupe on Revell 5W chassis with a few Rat Roaster parts thrown in
32 frame was bobbed in the rear and a shortened 32 gas tank was used upside down to create a kind of rolled pan effect.
Interior framing added to the body and was detail painted. Interior is largely Rat Roaster (Seats, dash and shifter). Brakes are resin finned front from The Parts Box and Revell Tweedy Pie rear.
I removed the air bags and lowered the rear and front suspensions. Paint is Revell Semi Gloss black with a bit of extra Flat Black added

Where are those rear tires from?

Thanks for the kind words

The rear tires are Goodyear Wranglers from the AMT kits like the 1997 Ford Explorer. I shave the Goodyear Wrangler lettering off and they pass for dirt trackers in my eye

I bought a bunch of the Explorer kits very cheaply a few years ago.

I'm sure they were in the Blazer kits of that period too

That looks really good! I've always thought that a '30-'31 Ford looks much better than '32 and this proves it once again! Even though I might have liked to see a slightly chopped top on this one, it looks really good like this too. Great looking paint and I like the flames. Nice and clean work all over.
