alan barton Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Here is my finished version of Bud Bryan's iconic Rod and Custom project car. The model really does demonstrate the versatility of the Revell 29 Hiboy kit. With very minor modifications and enhancements, you can completely change the style of the car and still have a bunch of cool parts left over for future projects. For the sake of those who didn't buy them first time around, I do hope Revell rises to the occasion and reissues these when they have got their business issues sorted out. Engine and trans from the Revell 32 Tudor, wheels from the Monogram 30 Woody, rear tyres from a Japanese L&S kit ( cant remember what is was, it was a long time ago!) Rear axle and spring from Revell 30 Model A with a resin quick change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 O.K., when I get home tonight I am going to dust that puppy and retake those photos - man, who would want to look after a black car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Very nice build. Great job. I love the flathead. I have never build a single flat head motor. Ever. You make me want to start one right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how many things are not visible until you take pictures and post them on line... But that's a great looking HotRod right there.

Bainford Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Great looking roadster! This build has great style, one of the coolest high-boys I've seen in a long time. I'm loving the multi carb flattie. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Beautiful! I grew up reading about this car as it was built. Just needs one more detail: So here you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Very nicely built AV8 replica hiboy hot rod. You should add a photo to the Group 29 thread below. Another reminder that this kit just has to come back and the 32 Sedan for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Thanks to a fabulous gesture by ChrisB Critter we now have the correct plates! Thank you so much Chris, it was such a nice thing for you to do. And I agree - it was the one thing missing. Thanks also to everyone here for the positive comments - I love how the car came out and even better that you guys are enjoying it as much as I am.
