'32 Ford 3 Window Coupe

[olskoolrodder]

Started this one last night despite myself (I seem to be in a slump after finishing the Roadrunner,LOL).

I'm thinking fenderless with Suede paint,steelies/wide-whites,in the weeds stance,and big block Pontiac power. Yesterday I got the chassis/suspension mods almost 100% for that in the weeds stance.
Rear-not prototypically accurate,but it won't be seen in the finished model...




Front: Step-notch started...



Sometime today,I'm gunna try and get the Notch finished/smoothed/shaped-better,maybe get the frame/chassis primed and dig out the engine and start it. More to come

What do ya mean "finally"? I just started this one 2 days ago! Ohhhh...you mean that cursed piece of plastic from the seventh level of haites (aka-that AMT '32 5 window)...LOL!!! It's,stalled so's I could get these Revell kits to lower their weapons at night (they been keeping me up at gun point ordering me to build em ;D),but when I get back on it,I'll let you know

Decided on the 421 SD from the Catalina,so I got it's basic assembly done,and modded/drilled out the exhaust port areas for some scratchbuilt headers (my first attemp). Here's the engine and what the headers will come from...



And I didn't like the way the gas tank hangs out the rear of these kits,so I lopped it off with a lil frame (it'd have to come off if I were to channel it anyways). Plus,I still didn't like the look of the front blocks/notch I'd made,so I took it all apart again (this is the 3rd or 4th time),and made better looking blocks from the lil bit of rear frame I took off...



So,what's left of my weekend's benchtime will be spent fiddling with these bits. More to come...

[olskoolrodder]

Another decision I made tonight:
Took some measurements,and marked some lines...



And this is as far as I got tonight...




Still nervous about finishing it,but am glad I tried it (you never know if you can till you try . ;D
More to come...
