1932 ford roadster

[Bronzekeg]

I have been wanting to build this kit for years. unsure of color at this point depending on what I can find. it won't be red or green as I have already built 32's those colors. c&c welcome as usual and thanx for looking.

Reminds me of the McMullen Roadster.

 

Your Coupes are Cool!

I’m sure it will look right at home beside those two beauties.?

Great looking kit with the Doval windshield.  Those other Hot Rods look pretty kewl.  I'll be building this kit later this year.  I'll be watching this build.

This looks like a bitchen project. The revell 32s are the best looking in my opinion.

after testing different colors on spoons, I decided to paint the model using testors pure gold. so far the chassis has been painted and the engine started.

engine is pretty much done and was painted testors bronze. I got it mounted in the chassis and started on the front axle. if I can find another one of these kits I'm going to get it.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Engine looks great, chassis does too, and those two 5-windows are fine fine fine.   

[ewetwo]

Both are awesome looking. Nice colors and details.

Very cool project, can't get enough of these earl Fords.

[Bronzekeg]

thanks guys for the kind words!

[Bronzekeg]

a little more progress has been made. still need to do the front shocks and supports. I cut the headlights off of them so I can use larger ones. I guess the next step will be the interior.

Great color for the chassis.  That Testors bronze really makes everything Pop.

I got the interior done. it was painted krylon off white and testors flat rubber. steering wheel from the spares box, a leftover from the 29 roadster kit. I was then able to mock up  the body before painting it and the hood and grille assemblies. I like this kit so well I ordered another one online the other day.

while paint on the body work is drying I touched up the interior and worked on the guitar.

Wow! Nice already. If it turns out half as nice as those other two it will be gorgeous.

the body, interior, and firewall have been put on the chassis. next are the radiator assembly, headers and brakes.
