Another 32 Ford

[bluestringer]

I started this one a while back, messed up the paint and put it aside to build the Trans Am. Now I'm back on it. I had first went with Testor's Gloss Red acrylic but I messed it up. I have now stripped it and went with Testor's Gloss Teal Enamel. I've built a couple of these in the past but never the coupe. This will be a box stock build.

A "Resto-Rod"? Color is appropriate.  This kit has some nice choices for suspension, engine , wheels, etc. It's one of their best. I'm following ?

That's going to be a Killer looking 32 Coupe James.  I'm already diggin the color and the Great looking engine.

Looking very nice James!

[Roadrunner]

I like that color.

I painted the interior parts with Tamiya Sea Blue. It looks almost flat black though. Chassis is done, engine installed.

Lookin good

[Roadrunner]

What green did you use? It looks just wonderful. (Never mind, you already said what it was.)

Your interior will look good with your Teal body"…

I agree with Carl.

Put on some flames, and sprayed on some Tamiya x-22 clear.

[Roadrunner]

When I get around to my own kit, I intend to sand off that roof panel. I never did care for that (on the real cars.)

[atomicholiday]

The flames look pretty cool.   Kinda give it a 60's or early 70's vibe.

I have one of these started somewhere.   I need to dig it out and get going with it.

[Zippi]

Nice touch with the flames there James.  Coming along nicely.  

[NOBLNG]

That is looking great James!? I love that color!?

[customline]

The coupe looks great, James.   I would loose the hood or just the side's since you are aflame now and you will show off that nice engine.  Also, I was wondering about using Tamiya clear over Testor's enamel. It's a combination I have been apprehensive about. ?  apparently you've had no problems?

[slusher]

Nice flames, James!

Thanks Jim. I had already assembled and painted the hood, didn't want to try and take it apart. But yea I think it would look better without the sides. I've used Tamiya clear over Testor's enamel a few times and never had a problem.

Calling it done.

What did you use as primer for that Teal? I sprayed mine (bought as a result of your choice) over both black and light grey primer, and like both, even though they are distinctly different from each other.

That is beautiful!
