1:32 1910 Studebaker Electric coupe body (old Minicraft kit) with 1:25 Revell Midget parts to make it a hot rod.  Yeah, I know the early rodding mags weren't overflowing with Flattie-powered ex-electric Studes, but it COULD have been built, and nothing visible on it is newer than mid '50's so... whaddya think? |

Awesome idea and pretty damn cool looking as well! However the scale clash pretty much kills it if we have to follow the guidelines  (But I definitely think you should build it anyway!) |

I like the way it looks, different for sure. I don't know what you mean Chris, is the engine looking out of scale?

Since the V-8 60 is so small anyway, it doesn't look that much out of proportion to me. Compare this build to other 1/32 scale rods by Lindburg and Aurora and I think it would fit right in.

Watcha-wanna-bet that the 'Stude' ain't exactly to scale, as it it was made in the era of 'what fit in the box'. Very cool, Chuck yer the Most!

Yeah I like it, the odd rods were always popping up throughout the decades.
More pics please.

Yeah- I planned to stab the V8-60 into a regular 1:25 hot rod, but even in a T the thing looked fargen dinky. But I thought it might look kinda/sorta like an 85 or 100 horse Flathead in a 1:32 application. Bounced the idea off a couple other people, they both figured it would be close enough in size to the big Flattie in the smaller scale, so I thought what the hell and here we are!
