Building a street / strip '32 from 1967. It's the reissued Revell roadster. Made up the front axle from Atlantis parts with the Revell steering knuckles and spring. Rear is modified with radius rods and pieces from the Revell '29 roadster kit. Engine is parts from the Revell 32 five window with a Johan Tunnel Ram and AMT Chrysler firepower valve covers. Cut out the rear deck and used a louvered one from the 5 window kit No plan just see where it wants to go.

Those friction shocks and rear wheel well ribs really add to it.

Finalized the engine and trans mount for engine location. set the body, hood and grill shell in place to locate the carb stacks.

I'll post a few photos on how to adapt the wheels from the Revell Model A to the Revell 32 Ford (or similar style) axle nubs. So easy it should be a crime. Paul

I used the Revell 29 Ford Steelies and tires on it. I found that the Revell centers fit into the 29 wheels so the Revell push lock axles work instead of the ones with the pins. Cut them down to the jog on the inner wheels and simply glue in. Easy as that. For the fronts I cut out an .010 plastic disc and modified thecycle fenders to fit higher. The 29 front tires are 1/8 inch taller then the 32 ones.
