Cheer mate, it'll be a slow process.
I don't think I'm the only one in that boat...

Re: Channelled 1932 Hi boy
No worries Marshie.
It comes from a Revell Goodguys kit from memory.
1. I filed back the front leaf spring to sit it lower at the front.
2. Channelled the depth of the chassis.
3. Black w/ Red interior, tub for interior was shortened to accept the channelling.
4. Speedster style windscreen (anyone got any ideas).
5. Shortened the radiator so I could get the grill to sit down in front of the front crossmember.
6. 409 w/supercharger, maybe custom exhaust.
7. Sanded the existing tyres to look like slicks
8. See what else comes up.............
Cheers Matt

No offence taken, you're right.
I've got that planned for a Tudor Rat Rod.....somewhere along in the building schedule.

Re: Channelled 1932 Hi boy
Nice build so far Matt. if it's channelled it's not a Hi-boy, a Hi-boy is when the body sits on top of the rails.
