This build was inspired by the recent sectioned deuces built by Matt Trotta and Steve Hinson. It is a revell '32 kit, with a sectioned Rep+Min of Md sedan delivery body. The grille is a shortened AMT deuce unit because I wanted the radiator cap detail. Screen mesh from my parts box. AMT 34 Ford headlights It has the flattie from the new revell sedan kit, but I switched it up a little to give it a more light commercial feel. The heads and single carb intake are from an AMT 34 Ford, and the air cleaner is from the parts box. I wired up the revell kits distributor. Exhaust is modified from the Revell 50 ford with aluminum tips. The interior is parts box seats, trumpeter 60 Bonne steering wheel and AMT 56 Ford dash. The running gear is mostly from the kit, with wheels from the revell sedan, rear tires from a revell 40 ford and fronts from a Revell 49 Merc. Color is Testors OneCoat Diamond Dust Silver. Thanks to Matt and Steve for the inspiration to build this. I've had this body kicking around my bench for years and could never decide on something to do with it.

Well......What can I say? Wow! Gee-wolly-willakers! Man-O-man!!!! Super-duper fly!!!!! OK, enough of that.....stuff. Metallic, you did a fantastic job on this. I can't find ONE element that I like more than another. 'Cpet for maybe,"C'Ya" on the punkin! Nice!!!!! Had that on the bottom of the trunklid on a dirt track car down south, and that was ALL they would see of the car as it lapped 'em in the corners! Nice build, man!
