Well it's been one of those weeks where if it could possibly go wrong it did in spades. Managed to get 1 of the 3 '32 Sedans completed for the Inner Club Challenge between SABA, the club I belong to , and Lane Auto Modelers from Eugene.

So here is the first completed build of the Sedans:

Hosted on Fotki

Body and chassis are straight from the box with changes to the axles to drop the ride height. The kit supplied flat head gave way to the flat head from the '50 Ford Pickup. The Ardun hears were used along with a S.C.o.T.s Blower from RMoM, this has to be the best cast resin part on the market today. The S.C.o.T.s is topped by 2 0f the Stromberg 97s from the '50 Ford pickup and a Thicksun Air Cleaner also from RMoM. A Parts by Parks pre-wired distributor was used. The exhaust headers are from AMTs Phantom Vicky with sculpting wire bent to shape to connect to the kit supplied exhaust pipes.

The wide white wall tires are from the Revell '29 Pickup. The Radir wheels are out of the '64 Thunderbolt. The front and rear frame spreader bars were replaced with aluminum tubing.

Chris, the pulleys are part of the RMoM set with the S.C.o.T.s Blower. It comes with enough pulley to set it with either single or double pulleys at every position. There are still 7 pulleys left in the bag after the assembly is completed along with 3 additional brackets and the "stock" flathead manifold. For the Ardun heads you need a different manifold. If you're going to build a vintage flathead (Traditional Rod) you can't go wrong using Norm Vebers parts. They are without a doubt the RMoM parts are the best on the market.

Congratulations! Wish it coulda been the black sedan delivery, but maybe another time-- can't wait to see it completed. Like the look of the yellow one on the plaque too ! Later and God bless

You know John the only thing I don't like about the one on the plaque is the wheels. I don't think GM Rally Wheels work on a Deuce no matter the body style. The stance, the chop, the attitude I definitely like.
