short back story, this is going to be my second build after being out of the hobby for quite some time, there was a 32 ford build on the cover of a magazine ( sorry a different one ) that caught my eye, and buying that issue, along with a few other mags ( yes scale auto ) helped push me back into the hobby.
I decided to use it as the inspiration for my next build, with my own flair..
The basics.
Revell 32 5 window kit
chopped up the rear of the chassis, replaced crossmember and rear axle from the revell 40 ford kit.
rear tires from AMT 66 riviera, fronts from lindburg 53 ford, lucked out that the whitewall inserts from the 53 fit into the Riviera tires, so I am able to use the wheels from the 53 kit as well.
Paint is drying on the motor, but it is the caddy motor from the revell 49 merc kit, with the manual trans from the 32 kit just like the magazine build.
Ill post pics of the motor and color tomorrow.
today, we see the overall stance.
thanks for looking
