Thread: Best 32 roadster kit?

Tweet

Looking to build a 32 roadster, like the lowboy look what is the diff. Why very few stick cars out there? Want a black car are the gel coated bodies decent looking as they come from the factory?

More complicated.
No.

You're welcome.

Kit?...

I'd have to go with AMT... I like the Revell and the Monogram kits, but I would have to say AMT is my all around favorite, but be sure not to use too much model cement as it has a tendency to melt the parts...

There is a lot of differences between 32 Ford fiberglass bodies.
some are hand layed up while some are made w/a chopper gun(cheaper & not as strong). Some are a combination of the two.
Some are not reinforced...they leave that for you to do thus,saving money. Some are reinforced with steel while others are reinforced w/wood.There is also a difference between resins.

I would recommend that you buy a book on "how to make fiberglass bodies". That will teach you what to look for.

The only fiberglass 32 I have owned was a Wescott. It was of hihg quality but, more expensive thansome. My brother bought one w/no reinforcing very cheap & I finished the body for him. Its not difficult but, you need to know what you are doing & the work should be done on a 32 frame.

Good luck & keep us informed......Don
