John Milner's Duece Coupe

Hello guys,

I just wanted to show you a little project I did over Christmas

This is a replica of John Milner's 32 Ford duece coupe. It is a amt/ ertl or a mpc edition of the kit. I got it in a lot of 3 other built up 30s fords. I never liked how the wheels looked on this kit, so I traded them out for chrome reverses off of a 70s release revell 55 chevy (which I turned into a 2 lane blacktop 55).20240124_160636.jpg.ff665c94e15561b7e2b825e878d20f48.jpg20240124_160642.jpg.81dc8e583199c482561ab53c0cdc412e.jpg20240124_160649.jpg.e1921668470762bef4670072421be9c1.jpg

The engine is also from the revell 55, I don't know where the intake came from but I didn't have the correct scoops or carbs in the parts box (crazy I know) so I 3d printed them. The plug wires are thred from a sewing kit and the fuel lines are orthodontic rubber bands.20240124_160706.jpg.cb734340285fffc2cb049d18a8908ae7.jpg

The headers are made out of abs 3d printer filament and the exhaust is out of the spirit of 57 gasser shortened and bent over a candle.20240124_160742.thumb.jpg.75261b2e2fd30ff1dee585eacca7284c.jpg20231226_212708.thumb.jpg.a47a87cbb6c58f13838c568bf1189a74.jpg

This is what it looked like when I got it from the lot(those wheels are really not accurate).20231225_125016.thumb.jpg.d8fa7b9d6914dc9b29a586eaf398c7d7.jpg

Thanks for looking folks.
