Glue baby glue !!!

 

lol - yeah, my kit is putting up a good fight.  I want to have opening doors, but a little dab of CA glue is tempting!  Might be worth it just to avoid the frustration.

Seems like there is a good reason why you don't see many of these with functioning doors and hood.

Again - good work on your build.  Thanks for the inspiration to finish my stuff.

Really nice work! Excellent paint job and a perfect color combination too. I especially like that white interior upholstery, and your engine detailing looks really good too. Nice work!

The only problem with it is that it's not actually a Gasser. You'd need to install a rear bumper, headlights, passenger seat and a hood to make it legal.

Otherwise really nice work and it looks period correct, which is always a good thing.B)

What was I thinking !!!! Probably C/A with that 283. Glad I didn't put any class stickers on yet.

Beautiful model.  I just missed buying the real deal for only $900.  Yep, that's right $900!  I'm sick to my stomach that I missed the deal. It was in my local paper, I dialed the number immediately and the guy answered and said he's filling out the paperwork to complete the sale.  Darn it!  I was that CLOSE to owning a 1930 Ford Sedan for REAL!  The real car.  One that I could have actually driven on the road!  $900.   No zeroes missing there!  Less than a grand!  I'm sick to my stomach that I missed that deal.

Of course to be fair, it was a "project car" and no doubt needed a lot of work.  But still, I would have bought just the body alone for $900, and this was a COMPLETE CAR!  With engine, tranny, chassis, wheels, and body! 

I'm sick to my stomach. I'll probably never see another one like it for less than $9000.

But yeah, love the model. You did a great job!

This one has been over in "On The Workbench" for awhile, now it's done. 

Love this thing. Can you fill us in on some details? Especially the paint color, wheel/tire combo etc?

Edit- found the buildup thread. Apparently I liked it while you were building it too :lol:

For anyone interested, here's the buildup thread...
