1932 Drifter

[plumnuts]

went at this one with fast and furious tokyo drift in mind. the movie went with a mustang.

I used a 32 5 window coupe. also went for a bare steel body (no paint) look.

motor is a twin turbo V6 from a 300z kit and wheels are from revell tuner kit and sleeved

the back wheel for a hot rod look. speakers from the hummer kit.

Now that is a different '32 Ford! I like it! Only 2 pix?

Now that is just cool! I agree. I love how you made every thing flow together.

Need more pcitures!!

[plumnuts]

here are a few more pic's hope you like them.

Wow I've seen a 32 Ford built as a rat rod, a hot rod, a street rod, as a stock rod, and I think I even saw one built as a monster truck, but never in all my years have I seen one done as a drifter . I kinda like the way the back wheels look, cause their "deep-ish". Nice job

[plumnuts]

I'm glad you guys like the build. I wanted to do something different and it payed off. I really like this build.

thanks for the feed back.

Nicely done variation on a 32 Ford! Well done!!

[mr moto]

That is seriously COOL! It's not often that somebody thinks up a new way to do a '32. Good job!

[GOTH KUSTOMS]

Great job, now tell everyone how you got the paint effect, thats what I really like about this build, other then the fact it has kewlness factor of 10.....

[plumnuts]

yea mike no problem. first sprayed in gray primer,then sprayed wal-mart alluminum,

then scuffed with scotch bright pad lightly.(not enough to go through the primer)

then used black wash over the whole thing. I really like the way it turned out...

[crazyjim]

Pretty cool idea.

Sleeved the rear wheels. The wheels look like Pegasus. Does that mean you bought the extra parts to make them deeper? I've seen the parts online but never bothered with them.

Who says everything that CAN be done to a Deuce HAS been done to a Deuce? Makes me wanna try a '49 Merc drift car...

I Love the Build!

Where did you get the pin-striping decal on the back deck?

It seems to be Von Dutch's "Harvey shaken by cross-breeding" - one of his more famous single works.

Some have called it his self portrait.

Times 2 I like it.. Little bit differend than others

[plumnuts]

CRAZY JIM, I would have a hard time building a kit with out the pegasus wheel sleevs. this set looks like the pegasus set but the centers are from the revell eclips tuner kit. sanded off the ridge on the wheel and slid right in.

SEEKER 589, the decal on the back came on the decal sheet in the kit. comes in black and white.

set the car in the glass case at the local hobby shop today, we will see what happens....
