Built from a 1974 Monogram kit I had in my stash forever. Added a few parts to turn it into a hot rod. Slicks and rims are from the boot hill express kit, front axle, front tires and rims are from the parts box.The engine is a parts pack 354 caddy. Paint is Tamiya orange and cleared with wet look. Thanks for lookin'

Very well done!

I like the Model A better compared to the more popular '32 and the Cadillac engine fits here perfectly. Great work!

Mike, I've got to agree, that's one of the Sharp-est Monogram '30 Model A Coupes I've seen in a looong time!
Thank goodness you didn't add some yellow and white, it's so sweet somebody might mistake it for candy corn
and eat it all up!

Seriously, I really like what you've done with this old kit, makes the rest of us want to go on the hunt and
fine one of our own to see if anybody can one up yours! LoL! That would take some real doin' to even catch up
with yours. Love that Caddy engine, four carbs is just about right, six might be a bit too much, (no one ever
said that did they?)!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5
