SO this is the first time Ive gone through the thread since I dont get around these parts much but first thing I did was skip to the end...only to see a car that I did a ton of work on staring back at me. I then went back though the thread and for sure saw 2 photos of the RB sedan originally built for Mike Manno, and then modified for Casey Cornell once Mike sold it. The car has my work on it front to back, top to bottom. Makes me wish I saw this sooner as I could have answered any questions you had.

Chris, thanks for taking a look, you guys that build 1:1  are a vital resource for us guys that can only afford to build tiny cars.

Comments always welcome, and with Revell announcing they will re-release the '32 Tudor Sedan kit , I'm sure there will be more builds in the future.

Those pics of the full size '32 tudor sedan certainly were an inspiration......

After working on the 27 T took a break, went back and took another look at redoing the grill art for this 32 sedan...ghosted in an image that I might like.

Jim, I really like that Baby's-Bum-Smooooth* Black paint, kinda could give you an eyesore
on bright a sunny day, you just might need to issue a warning so as not to get sued by
some ambulance chaser looking for their next zillion!! LoL!

This one has really turned out well,, swell like better than Matell, one really pretty
Deuce what's not to complain about so far,,, well just minor, eensy, little one critique,
you probably just haven't got there yet, those ignition wires look like they were strung
by Boris the seven-legged spider, who never heard of a little thing called wiring looms!
LoL! If that's the only thing that I can come up with, then you've done a great job of
hiding the rest, that is if there is a rest. Maybe it's the glare of that bright shiny
black paint job that's got my eye off of any flaws real and imagined, isn't that the
way they define craftsmanship as covering one's mistakes... This one is super, I like
it, if I didn't I wouldn't be commenting, I'm a sucker for nice paintjobs, now your job
if you wish to take it is to tighten up them ignition wires... LoL!!

*Smooooooooth like the kinda dumpy very intoxicated Army Sargent says in "No Time For Sergeants"
50's Andy Griffith movie, in the bar before they start Whompin' on each other Air Force Vs. Army!

I don't like the spark plug wires either...need to shorten them up...I got so involved in getting the firing order on the distributor correct I lost the big picture.

No Big Deal, I only pointed them out so that you could see them with another set of eyes and make your model better!  Constructive Criticism helps us all when it comes to building better, I know that it does for me, it challenges me to get less and less points of correction with each model built.

That is a sweet lookin' sedan. Those wire wheels look great on it too.
