Mr. Metallic Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) While I was wrapping up completion of the "Simple" 30 Coupe build I remembered that I had completed another 30 coupe 5 years before so I took a couple pics of them side by side. Then I realized that I hadn't really shared that build on any of the forums that I frequent because I wasn't happy with the pics I took at the time. So I took some new pics, and can now share it with you. (I apologize for the dust) Here's a summary of the parts I used. (It's been 5 years, so I'm doing this from memory) If you have any questions feel free to ask. body- Altered States further chopped top, Tamiya military color frame- Revell 40 Ford x-member front suspension- Revell 40 Ford rear suspension- Revell 40 Ford Grille- Revell 29 Ford pickup Engine- Model Car Garage Offenhauser intake, AMT 49 Merc Offenhauser heads, Replicas and Miniatures of Md Edmunds air cleaners, scratchbuilt right angle distributor. wheels and tires- Modelhaus Here's link to the build thread if you're interested. https://trakinscale.proboards.com/thread/17862/30-coupe-ala-dennis-finished Edited April 22, 2022 by Mr. Metallic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill-e-boy Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Kool AV8 Koop - Nice build I wonder if Revel will offer either the coupe or roadster with a flatty I built a roadster flatty a couple of years back with a motor from the 32 Tudor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different body style with a flathead would be great (please Revell, no more Edelbrock flattie speed parts. Something different please. The Navarro heads in the 48 coupe were a step in the right direction 😊 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
