Is this resin trans-kit for the Monogram '41 still available? Here's a beautiful built-up from the Merced NNL this past June. (Image lifted from comborider's Fotki account.) Thanks!

Lookin' good, Walt! If you want, how about Radir mags up front and steelies/slicks out back? A weekend racer. Either way, it's gonna be tough lookin! ps - I can't make it out to 'Cuse this weekend.

That looks great, Billy! I like the old roundy-round cars.

Great chop! Thanks for the step-by-step tutorial. And yes, it does look better!

I like them all!

Len, maybe the Tamiya is hotter than Testors? I know the Testors lacquer system is two part - color & clear - for all their colors. I've read that if you don't seal the color with clear it may remain slightly tacky. Since Tamiya cures and polishes well without clear, maybe it's hotter. Your experience sure sounds like it is. Either way, thanks for the heads-up!

I do a lot of my browsing and shopping from Modelhaus on their website. The way the 'Hot Rod Tires' are laid out it can sometimes be hard to navigate. I put together this spreadsheet and grabbed a GIF image to share. All the data is from the Modelhaus website. If you want this, just right click the image to save or print. Hope it helps!

She looks great, Billy! Glad to see the tires put to good use too!

'20 T-bucket, '29 Pickup, '32 3 window, '32 Lowboy, '37 Pickup. I love early Ford hot rods!

I love it! New black 300s with nice wheels are all the rage now, and I love seeing them in traffic. The styling of the car may polarize people for or against it, but it sure is different! Your model is beautiful.

Whoa, whatta croozer! She's a beauty, Steve. You got everything just right with this one. This may be my new favorite car in your stable. Nicely done!

Thanks everyone! BigTruck - the front wheels & tires are from the Modelhaus (part #T-110 tires). The rear wheels are optional parts out of the Beatnik Bandit, in slicks from the Miss Deal AWB Studebaker. The finned Buick drums are from an AMT '65 Riviera, and the backing plates, dropped axle, and split wishbones are from a 1/24 Monogram '32 Roadster. I sent all the front end parts out to be chromed.

Hi everybody! I guess I'm the latest cross-over from elsewhere online. Glad to see familiar names here, and ones I haven't seen in a while! (Bob Downie, Bill Geary, etc.) I'll post builds on the rare occasion that I finish one (!), and help out with info & parts when I can. I'm Matt, and I'm a hot rod-aholic.
