Here's an updated mockup of the '29 XPU...

Had a pair of old Stude PUs years ago... way kool before their time, IMHO! Fun watching over your shoulder... -KK

Waiting for the next installment, Brother! Hats off on the change up in rolling stock!! -KK

Detailed the Bomber Seat...

Maybe... spent some time adding a bit pf detail to the bomber seats...

Ron, they will be there finished or not... -KK

Update: The '29 XPU made its public debut as one of two unfinished entries at an IPMS event locally... Fun day with more model cars/trucks on the tables that are normally populated by planes, ships and tanks... -KK

Brother, the last time the '29 TNR was seen in public was at an IPMS event... One of only two models that appeared in an unfinished state. -KK btw the other one was the '29 XPU!

Knocked out a longer drive shaft... Some fun... -KK

Over the top, Brother! Outstand on every level!! -KK

Ford said, "You can have any color you want... as long as it is black!" Klassic C-Kab Pickup! -KK

Wonderful subject matter... Excellent attention to detail... Super suspension selection... And down right kool! -KK

It's all about the lines. too! -KK

Worked on the trailer hitch... Pinned & Removable... Has to be on the same plane... Triple Drop Hitch... Hooked up! It's all about the attitude! -KK

1st issue '29 roadster Buick long block & trans; 22Jr heads, valley pan (2pc); the manifold and carbs are from the AMT 1965 Buick Riviera

Let's see who knows where the nailhead parts came from? Part name & Kit source:

Actually... maybe! The work continues to bring several komponents together now that the power plant has been decided. Going with the Buick Nailhead from the initial '29 Roadster... Easy conversion right out of the box... well at least the long block and auto trans... Heads and intake will be a secret for now but will be a bit out of the ordinary, yet quite suitable for the '29 XPU. Had to narrow the AMT '29 Ford Woody/Pickup Visor just a tad... Should kleanup just fine... JTT & Partners makes some 1:24-1:25 steel diamond plate (thanks, John)... Had to fill in the balance of the forward legs on the box... Enough for now... -KK

ABSOLUTELY

How is it that just when you think you've seen it all... up pops one more fantastic modification to an already stunning build! -KK

Not your Father's Depot Hack, Brother! -KK

Bil, been concentrating on the '29 XPU & Tag-Along the tow truck for the '29 TNR... -KK
