1932 Ford Tudor Sedan Resto-Rod

’32 Ford Tudor Resto-Rod
(more photos below)

A basic, straightforward project based on the Revell ’32 Ford Sedan kit and inspired by a photograph in The Rodders Journal of John Kokoska’s full-fendered black Deuce Tudor. The idea was to do a full-on resto-rod, taking advantage of the many stock details included in the Revell kit and yet including some hot-rod style elements as well. Among the most significant changes is the scale 2 ½” chopped top, mild but effective in giving the car a lower, longer-nosed set of proportions. The kit suspension was lowered an additional 3 scale inches as well. And of course the ’37 Ford truck “artillery” wheels (courtesy of Revellogram) and tires as seen on the Kokoska car, combined with the lowered stance, fill the wheel wells for a classic hot rod look. The kit small-block Ford V8 received a set of Holley triples courtesy of BNL Resins. Paint is Duplicolor Black lacquer on the chassis and fenders and Tamiya TS-11 Maroon. The rest is from the base Revell kit.
