Yes! Go man go!

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!

How did you do the trunk bungee cord? What materials did you use?

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"

Thanks for the detailed pics of the floorboards, as I'll probably completely rip that off when I build my woody... ?

I dig it Jeff!

Nice! Which Alclad did you use on the wheels, Magnesium?

Whoa! Whatta knockout!

Super clean! I really have never thought about building a police car until now.

Thanks fellas! I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks guys!

I had been posting progress in the WIP but it's all done now. Enjoy!

Rad! There may be a real Bucket T in my future because of their sheer simplicity. My dad had several growing up.

Stunning! And way to go striving for accuracy. I want to build one now!

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.

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.

Awesome! You even got the rusty parts right.

I tried building one of those when I was a kid, never finished it, it was above my skill level at the time Looks good!

TIM! Wow. I wore out the issue of SAE with the teal woodie in it. I even built a copy to the best of my 10? year old ability. And, as I was reading Dennis’ thread I thought about it again. Looks like I’ll be building a 29 woody soon! Thanks for posting this blast from the past!

As someone who has personally installed an SBC in front of an early Ford drivetrain, I'm amazed at your level of detail in the bellhousing area.. looks just like a Cragar or Wilcap adapter! And that Hurst mount! That's exactly how I built a (1:1) 40 Standard Tudor about 10 years ago. Not to mention the stance and the overall attitude is spot on. I put a Vette fuelie engine in a 48 Ford convertible some years ago. I think mine came from a Revell 59 or 60 Corvette kit. Just having finished a 57 black widow last year, that FI 283 is pretty nice. Might have to get another kit just for the engine.

You've done a great job making a great car out of a terrible kit!

Chassis done!

a bit of an update

I’ve had a 29 woody in mind to build for a while… this is looking good and had my ideas flowing… I love the wires and the slots! It’s a win either way. Looking forward to seeing it come together.
