Frebbie '32 Ford 5 window

[olskoolrodder]

Got this one the other day from a friend who'd attempted to chop it,and lost interest a few years ago...said he just couldn't find the time/stay into building

Anyways,here's all he'd done to it when I got it. I have a couple on the bench in front of it,but I wanna jump on it soon...it's been too long since I built an,ahem,Ol Skool Rod.

I'm thinking,finish the chop,and Rat it out,either go with a hot rodded flathead,or maybe the big V8 outta the AMT '53 flipnose truck...







This kit's been around in one form or another since 1959. I can remember having several versions over the years,but oddly can't remember ever actually building one...weird

Nice start, hope to see some progress soon

Thanks Bro! LOL,but it isn't my start ,that's how it was when I gots it. Been fiddling with it a little today...what little 1 very hiper/1 very sick kids have let me,LOL!

Looks good so far, keep us posted! Ya gotta love a duece coupe!

[olskoolrodder]

I've come to the conclusion (after someone pointed it out to me...I'm a little slow to the uptake sometimes,LOL) the roof will have to have some legnth added before it'll look right,so I called the LHS. It'll be on next week's order,and probably a week after that before I can make the trip.

So,in the meantime,I'll get the top ready for the mods,and get the chassis/etc going...and possibly start another '32 project too ;D

This one just got put on the side burner (NOT reboxed)...it appears it's cursed anyways,LOL! Will be a while before an update on it.

Hey Olskoolrodder-That's a mean chop they got there ! I just finished the same kit with a 4 scale inch chop, when the top is chopped it will "grow" as it comes down--I did'nt use another kit for the roof just leaned the windshield pillars back a tad, the first thing I did was to remove the door/side window pillars at the top and bottom


Had to fab new windshield pillars -If you don't mind I'll start a WIP on the '32 Vicky I just chopped to show you how I did it.

Kool,thanks! Yers looks killer,BTW.

I'll still be working on this one,I've just pushed it to the side to get going on my next project,which I'm overly anxious to do ;D

I'll look for that how-to ;D
