Brianl Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Pretty happy how this one turned out. Started out with an old stock roadster body shell & hood from a friend (thanks Bruce). Chassis has been zedded at the back, narrowed at the front to fit inside the tracknose & the front axle moved out a little. The Lincoln V12 fitted real nice. Body mods include the track nose, the whole cockpit has been moved back to balance the body masses, new hood sides fabricated & the rear of the hood relocated to give the car a longer look. All the body moldings have been smoothed & the number plate frenched. Paint was Tamiya Italian red / Racing white. Have a good one Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Fantastic. Wonderful. Great design. This is another concept that's so good, it should be built 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianl Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Thanks for the comments gentlemen. Here is a couple of build photos that show the chassis mods etc. The spare tracknose from the Revell midget fits very well to any early Ford hood, just needs a little cut & fill etc Brian http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff362/brianl3/32%20track%20nose/DSCF1834.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff362/brianl3/32%20track%20nose/DSCF1839.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
