Looks really good Curtis. Did everything come with it in a kit or is it a scratch built?
I like hot rods Curtis, in fact I built a 1/1 29 Model A roadster a few years back. The car was a blast to drive but I ended up selling it because I outgrew it. A 1929 Model A is a very small car inside while a 32 is considerably larger. My roadster had an all metal body made by Brookville and the motor was a 302 hopped up to 300 HP. 300 HP may not sound like a lot until you factor in that the car only weighed 1800 pounds.
@kenspear The basic model is a Testors kit. Modifications include '53 Pontiac taillights and a brooklin Marmon dashboard and steering wheel. The basic engine block is from a Team Caliber '40 Ford Coupe and is enhanced with headers, a custom intake manifold with three 2 barrel carbs. and finned racing heads. The red can on the firewall is the custom made oil filter. The grill shell in the kit was cut in both directions and reassembled so a Motor City grill would fit as it is much more accurate than the plastic grill in the kit.
This Testor's 1932 Ford hot rod coupe looks really good and an excellent job on the build ! I have a MotorMax 1/43 '32 mild hot rod Ford coupe in yellow and I like it a lot. It displays and photographs well.
@mg-harv Yes I remember it, I like it. It's '60 rodding all over again!
Great post! As I mentioned a few months ago on another post, it seems that "out-of-the-box" 1:43 hot rods are either very low end or very high end. Maybe I'm just wrong on that view, but regardless appreciate seeing these, including what guys are doing to create their own.
