i like the added bonus that some trees which were originally gaudy [= chromed] are now, not.

but back to the original question is there? $36 buck for a kit which has no interest but the (2) cans isn't a great deal to me.

i found it interesting that a lot of the old Revell & AMT parts packs are so sought that 50 or 60 years later they are still being produced.

have not heard that name for eons. neither the name Crosley. i think R & R was one of the first cottage industries i was ever aware in the cars hobby. model railroading seems to have had them forever wayback. nice background for the photos. VW had a model around '53 or '54 with similar venting. known far & wide as the 'VW crotch cooler.' Crosley CC does have a ring to it. ps: don't let @Dennis Lacy see these photos. he'll have that registered in some gasser class just like his '40 Ford sedan. here;s a link to my favorite Crosley: Crosley Garage

y'know .... if those two itsy bitsy things were trimmed from the front fenders, they would probably a. improve aerodynamics b. fill in the firewall win/ win. and the running boards "off" would probably shave like .3 off e.t. guess that's win/ win & win either way, it looking really nice

i've seen tinted glass in a number of Trophy Kits. Q: was this a competition modification or part of the show car era? thx, s.e.

indeed. you could have bought a "double-kit" for that kind of moolah

so you did not use the '31 woody or did. i'm a bit confused.

ha ha good one on me, huh?

so is this part available from a resin, 3D, or kit?

correct. also Louis Prima's wife until he sought the younger Gia Maione. five wives? momma mia!

he sent an email that his internet is down i always wondered how that worked

as long as we be gettin' all slippery, why don't more guys adorn their firewalls like this:

i like that; thanks. there's a stipulation in the Rules which indicated driveshafts must be painted white. Q: was that considered a safety feature of some sort? i cannot fathom torque tubes being outlawed. i have been wrong before. aplenty. the '36 component would imply the builder was including a more better part on behalf of performance. i don't know if technically the gear ratio(s) would be different/ better suited for 'round & 'round, but i could use that as justification in my model world. or whirl. appreciate the suggestion.

i have been trying to come up with some parameters so when this is finished and someone asks "why is this like that?" i'll have background information to draw on. if i use cars from the years 1932 until 1941 (so i can sneak in an AMT '41 Plymouth) and components from '32 to '49, i can use the cut off date of March 13, 1949 and it puts bookends on the stable of cars. this will keep me out of NASCAR territory although dangerously close. better to think "guys racing 'round at the local county fair" era. none of this is more deep than simply giving me parameters to operate. i already want an AMT '53 Ford pickup because it's such an iconic model and i've built several over aa lifetime. And i have a couple of RMCM engines i want to use up so they won't go in the estate sale after my ultimate demise. to date, i have a rules sheet from the early '50s from the California Roadster Association and the rules from the Okie Bowl hardtops: Okie Rules and i cannot say enough good things about all the posters on HAMB & Ford Barn that have helped me amass information in short time to get this moving. so i am loosely basing the restrictions on them and erring on the side of caution when necessary. i think both rules discourage quick change rear ends, and the local economy would not support such extravagant indulgences anyway. i mean, the three sponsors i have lined up are Hadacol Patent Medicines, Mason Jars & Rings, & Shinola Shoe Polish. none are them are going to spring for no hi-falutin' "quick changin' reah end" you think?

well . .. . i didn't realize the Revell units were on the Keeler's Kustoms Yellow Fever Competition Coupe tree. so that's progress. i have a set of the RMCM buggy springs but my word are they - even to the point of carrying a warning on the instruction sheet - delicate. i will save those for something much lighter than a Revell '32 Ford 5w Jalopy. [perhaps something paired with a light chassis, bucket T roadster & V8 60 resin w/ jiggler & smith heads from ebay i have. ] i like the idea of sliding in a piece of brass to lend support. will continue to dig through my parts bin to see what i can come up with. thanks, sid

thanks. i saw those but wanted the conventional buggy spring suspension. i could use it and cobble something up, but i assumed it would have been a popular enough component it would have been made x now. thanks, s.e.

Q; is there a banjo rear end in 3D or resin available? thx

so .... a picture of the part would be awesome. the wheel back with an off center boss [the casting or print] might also be a way to adjust the wheelbase to fit the body better in an instance where chassis/ axle(s) or other combination of parts needs a little tweaking. or twerking; depending on your suspension constraints. show us what you got! cost? availability?

sturdy front axle

OR .... perhaps the engine rests against the radiator, which in turn doesn't allow it to drop to the two-lane blacktop?
