New 32 Ford Models

[JMJOhio]

Hellnbak introduced me to SketchUCation in 2011 by posting my 1932 Ford highboy and Ford 427 SOHC motor. A couple of years ago I morphed the highboy into a 32 full fendered, unchopped 5 window coupe with a 347 Ford motor. I then modified the coupe to become a 2 door sedan. Both still need some interior work. I've included the highboy rendering as reference.

Some excellent looking work IMO. Thanks for sharing.

Great model and glad to see a '32 WITHOUT an LS in it
The 427 SOHC is a GREAT choice!

Blown away! What a wonderful inspiration and achievement. The renders are beautiful! The colors are fantastic.



Rag top. I whiled away many hours of my childhood watching demolition derby on TV while they destroyed thousands of these kinds of cars. Whatever happened to demolition derby?

Thanks guys for the favorable replies.
@pbacot... "ABC's Wide World of Sports" televised demolition derbies and figure 8 racing from Islip Speedway in New York during the early 1960's. I remember it fondly.

Top notch!

You should post these on the gallery page.

I agree with everything said above, great to see a well made motor.

Jim,

So good to see more of your flawless and beautiful work here.

As a kid I spent many hours building plastic models, and my favorite was always the '32 five window models. It gave me the option of building it as a hot rod, but I always preferred them with the fenders. Just something about it that looked so perfect.

I remember once, when I was just a little kid my older brother had done something wrong, and as punishment my Dad brought out all of my brother's models (he spent a lot of time on those models and he was so proud of them) and spread them out on the living room floor in front of me. I had always wanted to play with them, but didn't dare touch them. But now nobody stopped me and my brother had to watch as I put my grubby little hands all over them. I don't remember how much I actually damaged them, but I think I do remember the look on my brother's face. I feel bad every time I think of this, and I really wish my Dad hadn't put me in that awful situation. But enuf of memory lane, don't know why I even brought this up.

Every now and then I revisit the SU '32 I started years ago. Sometimes I work on it a bit, but usually I just sigh and move on to something else (you are reason for this, hope you are proud of yourself)

Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Steve

When I share my SU models with you do you put your grubby little hands all over them?
