1932 Ford Hot Rod!!!

I built this Revell-Monogram kit when I was a kid (my first car model actually) and it was built horribly. So a few years ago I decided to strip it down and redo/customize it (there was A LOT of extra glue on it lol). I still need to work on the windshield a bit, but other then that its complete. This was also my first attempt at painting flames.

I stole some parts from my Tamiya R34, Revell Integra, Revell Monte Carlo Stock Car, & Revell Dragster.

Things I did:
- engine swap from Dragster
- disc brake conversion
- wheels & tires
- chopped roof
- smoothed body & shaved emblems/bumpers/lights
- stock car dash conversion

Paint is GM Metallic Black with Dupli-Color Purple-Green colour changing paint. Open to comments & criticism.

cool looking model:smokin: i like the motor. im in the process of building a 32' ford 5 window coupe right now. i need to post a wip thread though. im going for more of a rat rod look though.

looks tough with the brass mesh for the grill, I get tired of seeing the same ole vertical grill bar design, good job overall on the build man

Great restoration! Only suggestion I can make is to buy some thin styrene strip and make yourself a windshield frame, it looks kinda bare.

LOL that's why I typed "I still need to work on the windshield a bit" :grinyes:

Yeah I was originally going to paint the mesh black, but kinda liked the way it looked when I test fitted it, so I left it.
