[gautreau]

Ok here is my third WIP.I'm starting with the Revell GoodGuys '32 Ford Roadster.The twist is going to come from the powerplant.I'm not tellin thou.I'll let you guys figure that out.I'm going for the lo-slung look.Does anyone know how to "Z" a frame?I'm going to be using the One Step Lacquer again.

Heres the box art.

This is the stance that I want.I hope someone can help me out on that.Thanx for lookin'.Jeremy

Nice concept. This should look real sweet when done.

[modeltech]

sweet!! a whole alot of horse's for the 32!! uhhhh, ahhhh!!!

[gautreau]

Got a little progress to report.I had to modify two areas of the frame to fit the Hemi.I snapped a couple of pics for you to see the modification.

Here is the stock frame.

Here is the modified frame.If you notice I had to move the motor mount forward.I also had to trim where the trans sits in the frame on top of the trans cross member.
Thanx for lookin'.

Nice work so far! I bet this will be nice when done, engine looks great!
I did this a few years ago, but with a coupe, it was my first chop top, (and yes it shows!) I used the engine from the 41 willys(red and black on the box) same engine, you used. I have been thinking about building another one, but with the kit you are using. I would post a pic of mine, but some people don't like that.
Keep up the good work, i will be watching!

[gautreau]

Thanx Jeryd.I'd love to see your version.Did you do it fenderless or fully fendered?
