One more pic of the whole rear tub. This is a favorite pic of a nasty '32. I love the look with just the pumpkin showing between the rear wheels. The front, the frame horn mountings will be removed, I may try to drill out the axle, add a spring, shocks or friction shocks & room for a moon tank.

Yes Tooold, I've done it this way most of my life, more than one build at a time. Three cars going here, & 3 big ones on another forum.
My avatar is a 1/16 scale Desert Explorer. It was.

Lookin' good! The look of "tire-pumpkin-tire" is always smile-inducing to me, too; whether in real life, or on an intentionally 'tooned vehicle! That kit has always struck me as having more potential than some folks may realize. I need to get more work done on the one I'd started cutting up, some time back. A few relatively simple mods, to "un-straighten" a few of the car's lines, and make them more "bent" like Von Franco's box art, did a lot for that kit's overall look. Anyway ... keep postin' pics, please!
