  2. Wow! AMT made a 1928 sedan, When I was in high school our auto shop club project was the teacher's 29 sedan, I remember going and getting the car, trailering it back in the dead of winter, taking off the rear end, splitting the rear suspension, adding a 49 Merc rear end, dropping the 283 Chevy in it using 57 Chevy front mounts, adding 53 ford truck front spindles and getting the axle heat treated to camber the spindles, adding hydraulic brakes, bracketing the powerglide. When done the sedan rode real nice and fast except going up hill-oops forgot about the gravity fed gas, cured by an electric fuel pump, learned a lot of car mechanics from that old car greg

If you wonder what I used back in the 70's for the logo, here ya go- Poncho decal for lightning bolt, Cobra number circles, Studebaker logo for the red/blue, Pure oil for the arcs, black and white dry transfer letters using I's and V's on the black circle, MPC ford van decal to cut yellow Ohio out of. and the K was hand painted over all the layers greg
