Wow, thank you for the wealth of information! I'm getting ready to build the Revell Model A Roadster 2 'n 1 soon and so much of your experience here will come in handy on my build.

Very cool in a Mad Max sort of way!

Fantastic job! I'm thinking of dropping one Allison motor into a Model A roadster and was thinking that was going to be tough enough!

I'm new to this site and am learning so much. As a thank you to everyone who contributes, I've decided to post one of my past cars in case it gets your creative juices flowing It is a Revell 2007 Shelby GT500 Street Burner model which I reimagined as a modern version of "Eleanor". It has the following more major mods: 1) Resin hood with etched hood pins, 2) Hallibrand style rims, 3) Resin side scoops on quarter panel and B pillar, 4) Side exiting exhaust, 5) Etched front grille with lights, 6) Modified inner front wheel wells and stiffening bars.

Thanks to Matt T. and his inspiration, I tried my own hand at the Lindberg 32 Ford Street Pickup. It is a much more amateurish attempt on my part, but I was very pleased with the result. I'm sharing pics as a thank you to him and in case anyone else gets the bug to try this model. It is a good basic one, albeit lacking some detail. The major changes are as follows: 1) dropped the stock spindle 4", 2) used different sized tires front and rear, 3) rims from a Revell 29 Model A Roadster 2'n'1 kit, 4) removed bumpers and gas tank, 5) drilled out intake and exhaust tips, 6) relocated head and tail lights, 7) added radiator supports, 8 ) turned firewall smooth side out, 9) and possibly the best tip of all that I got from this site - used Tamiya Panel Line Accent color (black) on most chrome parts to knock down the shine and make it look more realistic.

I am trying my hand at this model and love the tire and rim combo you chose. Do you happen to remember what they were?
