This is the chopped AMT 5-window resin body from ThePartsBox.com. It’s a pretty radical chop and to my eye there’s really only one way to build this thing, and that’s low-slung and channeled.
I’m a self admitted aftermarket parts junky and generally when I place an order with a resin caster I’ll include some stuff I have no immediate use for but which catches my eye. Over time this leads to a sizable stash. So I decided I would build a PartsBox Deuce 5-window using as many parts from my stash sourced from ThePartsBox.com as made sense. Besides the body, I’ll be using their Nailhead V8, the tires you see in the pictures below, their extreme drop I-Beam front axle and possibly some seats if they fit inside the tight confines of the body. The interior will have to be scratch built. The wheels will be the ones shown from the Revellogram ’37 Ford Sedan Delivery kit. It will have a suicide front end and a rear axle from a Revell Deuce kit probably on the coils that come with it. I have some ideas for paint but haven’t firmed it up until I get the car’s stance dialed in and some details out of the way.
Below are some very rough mockups and a picture of the basic scratch built frame I’ll be using. Despite a fair amount of fabrication that will be required I’m trying to keep this build as simple and fun as possible. Nothing fancy, just a lo-boy coupe in the Contemporary Traditional style.
Thanx for lookin’,
B.
