This model was started over 3 years ago but spent most of that time half constructed in a box under my workbench. I randomly got inspired a few months ago to get it out and work it to completion. As it usually goes when I come back to a project after a long hiatus I ended up making a number of changes to the original plan such as replacing the hopped up Model A 4-banger with a flathead V8, different grill, some frame updates, etc... Hope you all like it! - Revell 1927 T Touring body and windshield - Revell 1929 Roadster optional ‘32 frame shortened 1/4”, Z’d at rear, scratch built front and rear cross members, Revell ‘32 series center “K” member. - Revell 1932 5-Window front axle and suspension - Revell Ed Roth Tweedy Pie rear axle and spring, Revell ‘29 Roadster ladder bars. - Revell 1940 Ford brake plates front and rear. - Revell 1931 Sedan tires and Halibrand Touring wheels. Chrome stripped, missing lug nuts added and correct 60’s wing nut caps from Revell Orange Crate. - Revell 1932 Sedan Edelbrock equipped flathead V8, Tweedy Pie carbs/scoops, Revell 1948 Ford headers, modified AMT 1941 Woody exhaust pipes. - Heavily modified Revell ‘29 Roadster interior panels and bench seat, scratch built floors, scratch built ‘32 Roadster style dash with Revell ‘32 gauge panel, Tweedy Pie gas tank and Revell ‘29 Roadster battery box. - Tweedy Pie radiator and shell, Revell ‘29 Roadster small headlights, Revell 1937 Ford Panel Delivery taillight and plate mount. - Tamiya Cobalt Green, Champagne Gold and Clear.

Like it would be an understatement. That's an outstandingly well thought out clean build. Well done Sir!

Wowzers. I like the variety of metal finishes you used on this build, the Cobalt/Champagne color combo, the detailed flattie V8 (the 4-banger was cool but this is better) and all the scratchbuilding and detailing in the interior and of course the added lugs on the Halibrands. Of all the parts, those wheels get me fired up the most, because they're so far above and beyond their box-stock appearance. It's been a long wait, but what a model. It's gonna look good on the shelf!

It is neat to finally see this one come together and on the shelf! I'm glad you stuck with a color similar to what the body was molded in too!

Not to take away from the rest of the model (because I’m really please with all of it) but the original point of this project was to prove that these wheels can look good with some effort.
