A lot of the kits I've built through the years where mostly box-stock kits, but when it came to this '32 Ford I decided to try something different.  This was done quite a while ago, but it's the most involved custom work I had done.  I love old cars, road racing, tuner cars, muscle cars & so that's why this car came out the way it did.  Kind-of-a Euro-influenced Street rod.  The color is a custom mixed Testors red with fluorescent red mixed in over white primer.  The interior Tamiya acrylic & is all custom built with Evergreen layered sheet styrene & square cut & carved pieces, including the center console & map pockets, arm rests & painted door trim.  Most other parts where out of my parts box (radio/heater controls, steering wheel & column, gear shift & parking brake lever, mirrors...), the gauges where photo-etched bezels, with printed backing gauges (from some company?).  Engine is a Ford Nascar engine (with Chevy valve covers that looked nicer) with custom made exhaust & the Wheels where some Fujimi BBS 19" wheels with Brembo brakes.  Thanks for looking.

Good looking Deuce. You did a great job updating the interior. I have always liked this kit using it for four builds

Beautiful looking paint finish and of course the color. Like how you did the interior and seats. The wheels do give it a unique look with the exposed disc brakes.

Nice clean build, Ken! The Euro-style treatment really works well on it.

Awesome street rod! 

I appreciate the comments & wish I had more time to do more scratch building, but maybe in the future?
