welcome aboard mate, don't know about 1/32 scale stuff never seen it on here, but there are a few guys doing hoods in 1/24 scale, The Parts Box do various styles of hood in resin cast and southwest scale chassis does some vac formed versions, there is a mob called Big Donkey doing some in resin as well as a few members making their own resin castings that they sell, flick through the forum and you will find them, hope this helps, there will be others I am sure, some one else might be able to help you there, I am a big fan of The Parts Box stuff, cant comment on the others I mentioned as I have never bought any of their stuff. Good luck hope to see some of your work posted sometime

The bread and butter of my work was found on here. Under the sprint car tab, there's images for a diagram for the 06 Triple X Sprint car. It's a perfect start to make a scale chassis.

Setting the images to scale is simple. I use Microsoft Word (Laugh it up photoshop guys). But basically, take the numbers for the length and height of the car, and divide by the scale you want (32 for you). Use those new numbers to create a box in the program, and just size the image to fit. Print it out, measure the print, and bump your numbers. This works for all scales.

Now, 32nd isnt seen too much, but you could possibly use some 25th stuff and modify it to fit. Always worth a try.
