1930 Ford Coupe On '32 Rails With 421 Pontiac Power!

[Dennis]

Hot off the workbench is my 60's style Revell based 1930 Ford Coupe sitting on top of a Revell '32 series chassis instead of the kit provided '32 style frame. Powered by a HOT 421 Pontiac with Halibrand mags and Blue Streak slicks. Also featured is a resin body top half by Drag City Casting which has a reworked insert which is raised, textured and trimmed with a round bead. Much, much better than the kit provided flush and smooth top insert.

- Revell 1930 Coupe body with Drag City Casting resin top section with better detailed insert. Wheel wells corrected to stock, smaller diameter. Modified Revell '32 firewall. Revell '32 grill.
- Revell 1932 5-Window chassis modified to sit lower.
- Rear brakes changed from disc to drum plates with finned drums from AMT '32 Victoria.
- 421" Pontiac made from AMT Parts Pack block, heads, valve covers, intake, carbs, air filters and transmission. Revell Parts Pack timming cover/water pump and fan. AMT '36 Ford pulleys/belt from its optional Pontiac engine. Revell GM generator.
- Modified headers from Monogram 1930 Woody, modified Revell Stacey David Rat Roaster exhaust.
- AMT Parts Pack Halibrand wheel and tire set.
- Revell '30 Coupe interior side panels and seat. Revell '29 Roadster dashboard, column and wheel. Revell '32 5-Window floor.
- Tamiya "French Blue" with their clear, polished and waxed. Testors one-coat "Bronze" on engine.

Very killer work as usual! It definitely has the "ADL" touch!

Solid work Dennis. Your parts sourcing continues to set the bar for the rest of us

You knocked that one outta the park! Great looking build!

Nice! Beautiful Build! Great color choice. Appreciate the use of paint where normally glaring kit chrome would be gives a much deeper, rich, realistic touch. Overall impression, "Looks like it just drove off the pages of Hot Rod Deluxe!" Thanks for sharing!

Looking good Dennis.

Ditto all! I really dug the parts choices on this project, and how tough that poncho mill looks when paired with the slotted wheels.
Killer stuff

Dennis! I had to get my bib on to contain the drool and look at this! Very nice execution, and the color is stunning on it! Really like the Poncho power mill and the subtle use of "UHHH!!!" here. This ain't no "John-boy" car!
