         This build was inspired by Harry Luzader’s 32 Ford Gasser. While the Revell 32 Fords are much more detailed and certain aspects of the body are more accurately shaped…I really enjoy building these old AMT kits and trying to make something cool from them. Used a lot parts from other kits and aftermarket on this one. Engine is from AMT 57 Corvette Fuel Injection manifold is from AMT Double Dragster Injection stacks are from Speed City Resin Magneto and wires from Pro Tech Wire looms from Model Car Garage Headers from Drag City Resin Frame is from AMT 32 Ford Vicky (more detailed than the Coupes) Front Suspension is from AMT Double Wheels from Drag City Resin Rear Tire from AMT Parts Roll Bar from AMT 32 Ford Vicky Steering Wheel from Monogram 32 Ford Roadster Headlight Bar and headlights from an early Monogram 32 Ford Roadster Fuel Tank from Revell 32 Ford 5 Window Coupe Tail lights from Revell 32 Ford 5 Window Coupe Thanks for lookin’😎… |

Pete, Nice conglomeration of parts! LoL!! I really like what you did with those parts too! You built a
Coupe that has Kool all over the place! Thanks for taking the time to list out all the Kool parts
sources used on this model. It helps others to both identify and think about scavenging parts from
other kits and sources when they need some cool parts as well.
I caught the Harry Luzader vibe as soon as I laid my not enough coffee yet pupils on it! Almost makes
you want to check the doors for remains of Harry Luzader's name lettered under that smooth scale looking
paint. It's not too shiny, not too flat, just right! The paint doesn't look like its plasty-dipped with
some sort of mile deep 2K+ goo that's so unscale, unmodel like, most of us struggle even with the single
stage clears to lay enough on to get it just right in one light coat... Looks like the paint recipe you
used works great, hats off to ya!

That looks awesome. I can't say much that hasn't already been said. Nice mix of parts and really clean looking build. I love 1/4 mile 32 Fords.

Really nicely done! Even though the old AMT kits might seem a bit simplified compared to the more modern Revell kits, but this is an excellent proof that with a talented builder and some extra detailing, these can be turned into a very nice models. Very nice work!

Awesome little gasser - The inspiration clearly shows!
Though the old AMT Trophy Series '32 Fords may be somewhat crude and simplified compared to their Revell counterparts, they have a ton of personality which makes them at least as enjoyable to build. As your example clearly proves, the results can be truly stunning!
