So, A while back I did a deal with Ed and ended up with some of his recent bodies, the 32 fordor ,the 32 RPU,
and a 30 coupe.I have a large stash of Revell 32 kits to supply parts.I grabbed a 32 five window kit to start gathering some of the parts I would need with no particular body in mind I was going to build first.Low and behold right on top is a three window body that is already chopped.Damn I don't remember doing that but it had to have been me as I bought all the kits new.
It's been so long the glue has turned yellow and brown!It had to have been at least nine years ago.
So I took my find as an omen that this is what I am supposed to build next.
This might have been started at A KKIM build session.
I want this chassis to be totally trakable configuration so I dremeled out the rear cross member
and added a 40 ford rear cross member and center x frame from the 40 ford also.Rear end and suspension are from a revell 48 ford.Scratch built motor mount pads for flathead.
After I finished up the body work on the coupe, I primered it and shot it with matte black and then then shot it with tamiya medium blue XF-18 from the bottle through the airbrush.I wanted a weathered faded look but no rust.
Engine 48 ford with navarro heads ,intake Amt 34 ford, carbs from Roth tweety pie.
