Finally Scored a Little Deuce !

[TooOld]

I've been waiting a long time to find one and finally got lucky a couple of weekends ago . I paid a bit more than I had planned but it was still less than they were going for a year ago so I'm a happy camper !
The only piece missing is the center cap on the left front wheel , otherwise it's complete . There's no excess glue and the plastic underneath the peeling paint is nice and smooth so it should be an easy one to strip .
I'm hoping to start a restoration sometime early next year !

Nice find. It looks to be well done for it's time.

You did good Bob!!! I picked up an unbuilt several years ago, but still haven't touched it. The missing center cap, and top bows can be found in the newest reissue of the '32 roadster kit, also just so you know, the rear bumper is on upside down!!!

Neat! Can't wait to see the resto, Bob.

The instruction sheet shows it with the license plate below the bumper, as on this one, both in the pictures of the finished model and in the assembly step illustration.

I stand corrected on the bumper!!! Thanks Brian, I dug my kit out, and looked, the license plate goes down! Sheeesh, don't want to be passing around bad information....

Thanks guys , I'll look into the roadster kit for the top bows .
And I've seen the rear plate both ways , I think it looks better on top of the bumper even if that's not the way the instructions show it !

I agree about it looking better above the bumper. I think it would look even BETTER to put a spreader bar behind the gas tank and mount the license plate to the top of that. Or just use a plain bumper and put the plate on the rear panel between the taillights.

But if you're restoring an original...

I recently won an auction for a "32 Ford Parts Junkyard" and lo and behold this parts tree was in the box .
Just dumb luck but I'll take it !
