This has all the right suff, well done.

Very nice, well done.

It could if it were set up as more of a Drag Car. "Street Roadster" was a NHRA class! Some great looking models here guys.

Well done.

Thanks John, and I did make them. I'll have to see about that suggestion. Any other Street Roadster models?

Three from a few years ago...

Thanks for posting guys. Hope this one keeps going. These were great cars, maybe someone with more knowledge on the class could set up the rules. But I do know from my research, most were 29-31 topless fords with fenders front and back required. Seemed like any engine combo could be run and a hood was expected. Mine was a fun build and I'll just bet the 1:1's were a blast to race!

I like your direction, should be a good'n.

As with many of us Tim Boyd has inspired me to build subjects I would not normally think of. And with his latest post of a wonderful 32 Street Roadster, it reminded me of this build. I enjoyed learning about these great drag cars from Tim and research on my own. Here is what I came up with. Link to humble build, http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w184/fredjames_2007/29%20Street%20Roadster/ Lets see what you might have!

Thanks guys, it is you fellows who inspire me to be better. Painted and began detailing the body. The rivets where painted with a mechanical pencil dipped in silver paint, and the decals are UP Scale Classic found at a swap meet. Tamiya White and Mat Black decanted and airbrushed on. After it dries for some time the inside will be painted black as well. The chassis is coming along also, flat grey with some subtle weathering. The engine and compartment is almost done. Scratch bent headers with Alclad and water color wash. I'm liking it sofar! The driver will be next...

Should be a good'n, I'll be watching. I'd like to see that bumper!

Com'n along nicely!

That's a daisy Karl, Real good.

And with that, I say the good Doctor has officially CRANKED it up a notch!

I use coins to cover the wheel while painting, dimes work perfectly.

^^^^^Especially in plastic!^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You could try putting the wheel in the tire then the decal! Cutting the paddles off is easy enough.

Well done! I like it.

I don't much care for the term Rat Rod, but since it is you Doc, I'll follow along. Interesting take on a non-rat rod kit.

Good looking line up there. Looks like your real close on fitment too.

The title should say 32 Ford "SCALP'T"

That explains it, must write his own prescriptions!

Why not split the cost, even at 60/40 they could have been better off. Once again the only ones that made out, are the lawyers.

Well done!

I would say, Go with what inspired you in the first place! "A" or simply add the mechanic.
