  1. Thanks That gives me some good info to start with. I just finished doing the trunk lids on a 32 and 29. After cutting out the trunk on the 32 I had to add plastic to the edges so the gap was not to large. On the 29 since I wanted louvers I used the one from the Revell 32 5W kit and it to my surprise it was a drop in.
  2. Thanks I will have to hunt down some smaller tubing. Mine scales down to 2". Is there a problem on a roadster keeping everything in line since you are separating the front and back ends of the body with no roof to keep things together ?
  3. Working on a 29 A . Just did my first hinged trunk lid. Thinking about doing the doors. Any tips, hints or tutorials on hinged roadster doors? Thanks
  4. Keep in mind that the Hemi and Max Wedge had different had scoops
  5. Not that exact kit but this may help https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/revell-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1951-1960/revell-56-chevrolet/
  6. Smaller list: How many songs with 427 in the lyrics vs how many songs with 426 in the lyrics ?
  7. Looks to ba about a 82 Dodge Diplomat or Plymouth Grand Fury
  8. Is there a source for Early Ford (model T& A, 32) outside door handles ? I know R7M has the interior handles and cranks but I do not see any outside handles. Thanks
  9. Spastik Clear is reported to not dull Molotow. I have only done some minor testing and it seemed to work well. Use at your own discretion. I plan on doing more testing at a later date.
  10. R&M has the Duvall separate but it is for the 39/40. He has the Duvall for the 32 but it comes with the body and hood, as was mentioned before it is a tad bit wide for the 32. I am building a 29 also using the Revell 29 kit. Using the A frame as a channeled track nose roadster, I will be using the 32 frame and highboy parts on a 32 Phantom Vicky Roadster project. Love all the extra parts in the Revell 29 and 32 5 window kits. I was disappointed that the 29 did not come with a flatty.
  11. I believe comes with the hood and sides. Correction it does not come with a 32 grille, GRilles and flatheads are easy to come by. I have been getting my parts from R&M . But with a minimum $30 Card order it adds up. I have been building a Flathead with SCOT blower and Ardun heads with only using R&M parts, so far the bill has been almost $80 (over 30 engine parts ). Looking forward to seeing your build. Jon
  12. Revell has a 29 Roadster that comes with an additional 32 frame and grille. Only comes with a Buick Nailhead
  13. What I did was take the Deville roof from the 50 Convert and blend it in with the front half of the 49's roof and made a 2dht phantom. I plan on using a resin Vicky hardtop roof on the 50 to make a 50 Crown Vick. phantom Ford did not produce a 2drht until 51
  14. Their FB page has recent posts showing some of their stuff. I bought stuff in the past and had no issues but I am very doubtful I will be now.
  15. Is Arrowhead Aluminum back in business ? I noticed today that they have a Facebook page going .
  16. I was looking at what was available in 55 for my build. I want to do it as close to the original version as I can, It will be black. Building it your own style is great. A roadster with a newer Holly would look neat, Ernest I also have in the works a couple of Tweedy Pies. One with the flathead as it was first built and one built in a later version.
  17. Looks to be a early Carter (WCFB?) 4 bll on an adapter
  18. Looks like coming up with 4bl carb and manifold won't be a problem not sure what 4bl carbs were available in the mid 50's the actual v12
  19. I had a 76 like this one that sat in the driveway waiting on some care but could never get the title so it never was driven
  20. 15 degrees won't be noticeable unless your a bean counter, I haven't checked it out yet but head bolts maybe in a different pattern also ' If you were to build it would paint the original color black or go for the Datsun red ? Me personally would paint it black.
  21. I always figured on taking two V8's and making them a V12,
  22. The ultimate "Fake" : Pretends to be a sports car, Not a car in the first place.
