And- it actually just barely fit in the book case!

There is a thread in under glass for everyone's Model A builds.

Like this?

I can see why the hitch hiker did not want to sit in the truck- ouch!

Ditto for all the previous comments! This inspires me to build mine!

Make sure this one gets into the Model A thread!

Thanks, guys, the work paid off and that is always a good thing! Did a lot of new things but I was able to complete the project to my vision.

Start of a new project- Revell's Model A but with a 427 Ford instead of the nailhead. Front end will be lower by raising the front crossmember spring perch and possibly removing a leaf in the front spring. Color is Testors gunmetal- very dark slatey blue which will be dull coated after a little sanding. Frame an bottom of floor pans will be the same. Also using a chopped Deuce grille from Replicas and Miniatures.

Finally done- now I have to figure out where to display it dust free! Maybe in the barristers bookcase................

Truck, boat and trailer done! Teaser pic! More pix in under glass! Tim, please continue posting your progress here since this has become an enjoyable shared thread of info, pix and great ideas!

First of all, build them how you like! I personally like either no fenders or cycle fenders attached to the axles front and rear, not attached to the rear body, but that's just me. How about a well equipped flathead? Or are you going for a more updated engine? Remember, true hot rods have three pedals......................

Tim, I just noticed you live in Vermont- I'm a transplanted Yankee who grew up in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Encouragement is a big part of this hobby- thanks, Tim Boyd!

Tim, your woodworking skills blow me away, and that prop is great- I used fishing lure spinner propellers superglued together and tweeked the blade angles. Are the engines 3D printed? They look awesome already- can't wait to see them finished! The woodwork on the Chevy is amazing- all those curves- more even than the boat! This combo will be stunning! Keep up the great craftsmanship!

More progress on the trailer! storage box finished, and some of the rollers installed. Air hoist, compressor, and rear roller nearing completion, soon to be installed. A few nautical goodies including a dinghy, surf boards and scuba tanks. More pix when I get more done!

Tim, thanks much for the encouragement- now I'm working on the trailer.

Time to move this up again- lots of great A's built since which would be great additions!

Astounding! Superb! I love it!

Rusty, a lot of speed boats from the 20's and 30's had metal or metal sheathed prows, which I have replicated here. A couple of reference pix:

Tim, thanks for the encouragement- working on the trailer now!

Gary, that is exactly what it is! Thanks to everyone for the comments. Never did anything like this before- just start with PT boat, throw in hot rod parts, some Duesenberg, shaken not stirred, and you get the Poodle Too.

"and your mama and your papa and your sister and your brother and the poodle too"

Finished! Teaser here, much more in all the rest, in finished. Jessica, the owner, seems to approve!

I am eagerly following this project! Flatheads do sit low, one solution is to add Ardun heads!

Where is that engine from? It is spectacular!

Low and level looks great. Personally, I don't think rakes do much for customs.
