The Hot Rod has been around it seems forever. When most think of a hot rod they think of the iconic 32 Ford or “deuce”. The coolest part is one hundred people could build one hundred 32 Fords and each one could look different. Stacy David is the host of the show [Stacy David’s] GearZ and he built the 60’s style 32 Ford roadster that is the “Rat Roaster” on his show. If the Rat Roaster doesn’t get your attention then check your pulse, because this hot rod is certainly an eye catcher! From the bright green paint to gleaming chrome moon tank to the matching custom Gibson guitar, this ride screams cool.

For the Modeler: This Revell 1:25 scale, skill level 2 kit #85-4995 is a very good rendering of David’s Roaster and at 148 pieces; it is very detailed. This kit is designed to build only as the Rat Roaster, but does have a few things that can be changed if the builder sees fit. Looking at the molding it appears crisp with no flash visible which makes sense being this is brand new tooling. This kit features 2 different carb setups, a Rat Roaster guitar figure, optional front fenders and a Stacey David decal set. Finished dimensions are: Length: 6-3/4″, Width: 2-3/4″ , Height: 2-1/8″.
