As a time filler whilst glue dries on the Gasser, Im going to build this concurrently.

[Talbot90]

Finished the Gasser  .. http://www.modelcars...topic=69549&hl=

so now onto the Tudor.

 

Ive 'Suicided" the front end.

 

and decided to use the Revell Parts Pack 354 Cadillac engine.

Since the motors going to be out for all to see, I thought I'd try a bit of detailing.

 

I decided to drill out the carbs and add butterflies.

 

cheers

[southpier]

if everything shares the detail of the carburetor, it will be a fantastic ride

Are you going to change the '30/'31 cowl to a '28/'29 style? It can be done with a Revell '29 pickup cowl.

Hey LDO

 

Are you going to change the '30/'31 cowl to a '28/'29 style? It can be done with a Revell '29 pickup cowl.

I hadn't thought of that..but great idea. I have that kit in my stash. I'll swap cowls ..

Thanks sk8erdave,  the hairpins are from my parts box..sorry , no idea what kit they're from.  :-(

[Talbot90]

I'm really enjoying this build..the vehicle style suits my tastes...so I see a few more in my future build list! :-)

 

As per LDO's suggestion Ive swapped in the 28 / 29 cowl from my parts box.

 

I raised the rear frame Zed as I felt the car wasn't low enough. That introduced a deeper body channel and floor construction. Two steps froward..one back! :-)

 

 

 

Then scratched the rear spring and axle mount.
