32 Ford three window coupe - my first hot rod build

[VTECFOUR]

Building my first rod with a body cast from a 32 Ford three window diecast provided by Luf.



Spurred on to build after a friend's generous donation of an assortment of vintage 1/32 Aurora and Lindberg hot rod kit parts.



Got a recent 1/32 Lindberg' release, "Customizable Street Rod" two car kit, coming soon too that'll help this and future rod builds.

This'll be fun.

Yes, these old rides are a fun build. Careful, addictive little rascals.

Great looking casting - looking forward to seeing it come to life!
:D

Some progress. Got chassis built, my usual slimline motor pod with adjustable wheelbase.



Wanted a tall tire look, so equipped the front with Carrera Nascar and BWA LMP rims/Shotgun Dave drag tires at the rear.







Body's mocked for the stance I'm going for.

Working out so far.

CLEAN looking chassis and nice low "modern hot rod" stance!

[VTECFOUR]

Body mounted on chassis with posts at front and rear.



Got the the low stance I was going for.



Lindberg 2 in 1 hot rod model kit arrived. Came with lots of chrome and other parts to build a couple of different rods. Impressed with this re-release.

looking fantastic so far

Going the rat rod route.

Made some headlight buckets from model aircraft bombs and mocked them in.





May be a bit exaggerated but in keeping with the theme.

Filed and shaped stock Carrera Nascar rear wheel into a matching insert for the BWA LMP large aluminum rim.





Worked out well.
