'32 Ford resin bus from RMR. All of the panel lines have been rescribed because they were barely visable. Holes have been drilled for red and amber lights. Most stuff molded to the rear of the body have been removed and tailights will be added later. It will be Krylon yellow (of course).   I've modified the interior in a few places. The class is currently studying old school rods, so they have been given lots of old magazines.   The wheels were given to me awhile ago by club member Gary Sutherlin. I think maybe they are Plymouth Prowler wheels - not sure. '32 Ford caps added to the centers and disc brakes all around.  Mockup using the AMT deuce hood and grille shell. (Don't ask me why RMR based this on the 50 year old AMT kits instead of the current revell kits.)  |

Nice rod there! I see some issues with the body that you adressed. Looks like it will be a great rod when done! Jody

It is so cool to see one of these being built. It is a great subject. The work you have done so far, makes this thing "wicked".

I am really liking the bus. I like the fact that it something that is not seen on a regular basis.

SWEEEEEEEEEET. I'm glad you went with a bright yellow instead of a more traditional school bus yellow. It screams "LOOK AT ME"!! Have you thought about adding flames to this beast?
