32 Ford 2 door phaeton

When I built the AMT switchers 32 Ford tudor sedan. I was wondering what to do with the phaeton body, I decided to build a 2 door phaeton. This will take a while as I only have the body and have to scratch build an interior and gather up the other parts. I think it will be a rod, but I haven't decided whether to channel or make it a hi-boy although I am leaning toward the hi-boy powered by a supercharged flatty and fitted with steelies with whitewalls. It will probably be either red or yellow.

The 1st pic shows the body all puttied up.



The 2nd is after the doors have been rescribed. As there was a lot of sanding required, it was easier to replace the body molding with evergreen 1/2 round rod.



Suggestions are most welcome.

Sounds like it should be a pretty cool build Frank!! nice work so far.

would look great as a hi-boy,with a flathead it it.

If you cut the rear wheel wells out and use the filler pieces from any of the Revell 32 kits, along with the firewall, you can mount it on the Revell 32 chassis if you have a spare.
That's what I did with a chopped 32 body - also a Switchers kit.

Great start Frank.

Thanks guys. I have decided it will be a hi-boy, will keep you advised of the progress.

Way to go Frank, should look cool as a highboy.

What do you plan to power it with?

Either a blown flattie or injected flattie.
