While I was wrapping up completion of the "Simple" 30 Coupe build I remembered that I had completed another 30 coupe 5 years before so I took a couple pics of them side by side. Then I realized that I hadn't really shared that build on any of the forums that I frequent because I wasn't happy with the pics I took at the time. So I took some new pics, and can now share it with you. (I apologize for the dust) Here's a summary of the parts I used. (It's been 5 years, so I'm doing this from memory) If you have any questions feel free to ask. body- Altered States further chopped top, Tamiya military color frame- Revell 40 Ford x-member front suspension- Revell 40 Ford rear suspension- Revell 40 Ford Grille- Revell 29 Ford pickup Engine- Model Car Garage Offenhauser intake, AMT 49 Merc Offenhauser heads, Replicas and Miniatures of Md Edmunds air cleaners, scratchbuilt right angle distributor. wheels and tires- Modelhaus Here's link to the build thread if you're interested. 30 Coupe ala Dennis build thread

Great build Craig. I wasn't around when you posted the build so it worked out great for me. No long delay at all.

VERY cool! I like the idea of putting them side by side. If I may? A BIT smaller front tire might set that off a tiny bit better... (just my 2 cents woth...) Also..and I am NOT nit picking....is something off at the top of the windshield on the old one? Or is my computer making it look "different?" I always enjoy seeing what you are building Craig..thanks for sharing Craig

Wicked! I think this is a very respectable build...lots of cool parts (those Edmunds air cleaners are choice! Sweet wheels too) and a classy color combo. I still love model A coupes. Not sure I'll ever get tired of seeing them

Nice, from the color to the Flathead it just all fits so nicely. If you put a set of chrome reverse wheels on it and you would put that "yellow movie coupe" all to shame, something like this is more like what "American Graffiti" should have depicted as their Hot Rod coupe. I'm not a huge fan of Artillery Wheels, but yours work well with the theme, I especially like the color contrast with the bodywork. You have a whole lot of coolness going on here!
