Fresh off my workbench is this Revell based '29 Roadster. My intention with this project was for it to reflect a hot rod that was originally built in the 40's then sold in the early 50's. The new owner gives it a complete makeover with current trends of metallic paint and whitewalls while not changing any of its now dated components such as the hopped up 4-cylinder motor and late 30's artillery style wheels. Let me know what you all think!
