• Are the wheels in the (ex-) MPC '32 Ford 'panel' the same as the brief 'Street Rod' issue of the MPC '28 Ford Pickup?
  • Nope! The '28 wheels are totally different...
    • Cha ching on the woody suggestion - and if you land on a front axle solution that is readily available and fairly sturdy (!) that would be even better.
      • That kit has the steerable front end - nothing can be done with that one. I was thinking about a Revell front axle, with different backing plates to replace the stock mechanical brake units...
      • I wonder if someone could whip up something that could be 3d printed for that drop your looking for. *NM*
        • I'm not crazy about resin (3D is essentially resin too) for anything that has to support weight. Over time it will sag, or if too brittle will eventually break *NM*
          • I was wondering if there was something like the beam in Ala Kart (original) that would conceal a wire axle
      • Dave Darby is the expert, I believe he has done a couple conversions using the entire fender/frame set from the AMT 29 A roadster to replace the unit in the MPC Woody/sedan/pickup. DAVE! Where are you? *NM*
        • I sent Dave an email last week, and he never responded. I'm a bit concerned. *NM*
          • I hope he's doing well, they've had a rough 2024, to say the least. *NM*
