1932 ford roadster

[Bullybeef]

Well after a short hiatus from the bench I got the itch and dug out enough matériels to start building again. Purchased two new kits as all my stash is still in storage. Combined the frame and underpinnings from the revell 29 roadster and the body from the new release 32 roadster. A little parts box scrounging for an engine and here you have it a nice period late 50’s hot rod. My build thread includes a little more background for those that are interested.

Thank you all for the kind comments, I’m happy to have been able to complete this one before the year was over. 2023 was a rough year for me and this was what was missing for a lot of it, being able to be creative.
