  1. Thanks for the kind words!
  2. I really like how this build turned out. Enjoy!
  3. Almost done with this one. Will post in under glass when finished.
  4. Started to build the OHV Cadillac, trying out a color on the frame, those are 1/18 GMP Midget wheels. Apparently 1/18 midget wheels are the same size as 1/25 normal size 16-17” wheels. Cool discovery.
  5. Glad I clicked on this thread, I ordered some MCW paint for the first time recently, so all advice on that product is appreciated.
  6. Great clean build! I too would like to know where the triple stripe white walls came from....?
  7. Here's a Model A I started a while back by grafting a 32 Ford 3 window coupe header and windshield into a Revell 30 coupe. I had to narrow the 32 header a bit, and I definitely have some hours in the roof, in addition I also chopped it a heap more than box stock. (Kit is already chopped). I also pinched the front of the frame, and that gets you up to speed on where it sits currently. Here's the next installment:
  8. Yes! Go man go!
  9. Thanks Dennis! I’m pretty happy with it. The cool thing is that the mods weren’t too difficult, I think most builders could handle it, but the result is dramatic!
  10. How did you do the trunk bungee cord? What materials did you use?
  11. Chopped Revell Model A with a 32 Ford 3W coupe windshield and header grafted in and more chop than the kit came with.. also pinched the frame rails, and did a 'suicide' spring perch. Inspired by Brian Bass' work on his personal model A and the "Wade Coupe"
  12. Thanks for the detailed pics of the floorboards, as I'll probably completely rip that off when I build my woody... ?
  13. I dig it Jeff!
  14. Nice! Which Alclad did you use on the wheels, Magnesium?
  15. Whoa! Whatta knockout!
  16. Super clean! I really have never thought about building a police car until now.
  17. Thanks fellas! I appreciate the kind words.
  18. Thanks guys!
  19. I had been posting progress in the WIP but it's all done now. Enjoy!
  20. Rad! There may be a real Bucket T in my future because of their sheer simplicity. My dad had several growing up.
  21. Stunning! And way to go striving for accuracy. I want to build one now!
  22. Food for thought on paint schemes... next time I build a 28-29 full fendered A, I think I want to go with black fenders and grill with a lighter body like Jim Jacob's panel.. may not do the brown, but I might, I've never painted a car brown before.
  23. Nice, great detail! My dad knew Clint Brawner, he lived in the PHX, AZ area until he died. We used to see him al the time at swap meets, selling cool racing parts. He had skin cancer really bad, and would always have a huge straw hat to try to keep out of the sun.
