Mainly curious as to whether the wheels and tires would pass the okay here? The only other slightly questionable thing would be the coil-over rear suspension. The model still has the airbags that are part of every revell Deuce kit rear suspension setup but I just won't show pictures that shows those. The standard kit 4-wheel disc brakes have been replaced in favour of 40 Ford juice brake backing plates. If it passes the okay I will post a bunch of pictures of the finished build in on the Shelf. If not, no problem.   |

I don't see why not as long as you don't show the air bags; but coil springs were being used on hot rods and gassers by the mid/late sixties. Those tires are traditional for the late '60's too.

Airbags!!! I just thought those were big snubbers!! LoL!! Ya hadda point it out, didn't ya,,, Ed!!! Now were all going around like that insurance commercial, the one with the life coach guy, with the group in Home Despot after they encounter the guy with the strange blue hair, "We all See It,,, We all See It,,,," LoL!! Seriously, I see nothing wrong with your Roadster, plenty of cars have been on there with that exact '32 Ford Frame, so wouldn't let it bother me a bit! I like that color, looks great! |

Looks ok to me
The TRaK protocol with the Revell 32 frames has always been if you leave the bags, don't show the underside.

Personal taste, but I associate the late '60s GY/Firestone racing tyres with mag wheels, or at least chrome reverse rims. Painted steels look odd with those, to my eye, compounded here by Revell making them have very little offset, which wouldn't normally be seen with tyres that wide.

In that respect I would most certainly agree with you! |
