Zippi Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) When I built my last 29 I had issues with the windshield frame being warped so I bought a second kit hoping it would have a straight one. Any way, I used the second 29 body as a test body and it was laying around so I thought I would go ahead and build it. I had some big ol meats in the parts box so I thought, what the heck. I had to cut the axle housing down but seems to look ok. Well see how it goes. Edited November 15, 2021 by Zippi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Looks great. I finally got my windshield frame from Revell a couple days ago. Now I need another 29 Roadster kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) I'm waiting to wire the engine as I haven't made up my mind yet on the headers. I had thought about cutting them off and having straight pipes coming off the heads. Just not sure yet.

TransAmMike Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 👌👍👍👌 I'm not a fan of the kit style headers, so yeah, straight pipes might work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to check and see if they would be long enough if I cut them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris chabre Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 If you cut the "elbow" off the headers, they look much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think big tires in the back and little tires up front just give it that old school Hot Rod look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
