    '29 TNR Tonneau Kover fini Wait for it... the tabs that have been keeping the trailing edges of the bell pan are about to go the way of the dodo bird! -KK

    Thank you so much for every little detail that you covered making this beautiful work of art that you've collaborated on with me. I know and only a very few know that this is not our first joint venture! It was even mentioned to @tim boyd shortly after you took the truck back to the master's bench and paint shop. One-to-one builders have their vehicles painted by someone they totally trust. And, Brother you have done a masterful job on our Tribute PU! -KK

    Delton, I to have the '34 PU on my bucket list! Picked up a chopped Pickup cab from The Parts Box: Here are a couple reference shots: Keep me up to date on your progress!! -KK

    Modeling at its best! Taking two very well-known model kits and combining them together is where our hobby has been elevated to over the last couple of decades. Lookin' great, Brother! -KK

    This montage Should speak for itself, if you have any questions, please drop a line... -KK

    Consider a final mockup (or at any stage along the way) temporarily assembled using water-soluble white glue. Some have said RC56 works quite well but may take a bit longer to dissolve. -KK

    Excellent choice for the CIII! Both kit & kolor!! -KK

    Seriously

    Not quite, Brother... yet seriously anticipated! Cockpit Opening Prep: Traced the Glass Windshield from the 22 Jr It will be recessed in the cockpit opening... Drilling along the arc of the opening will be the first order of business... -KK

    Bill pre-war builds are always a bit of a challenge! Your start is impressive on so many levels... using resurrected parts is a passion of mine and creates their own set of inherent problems, as well! -KK model a four banger with su carburetor - Bing images

    James, Haven't built the koupe, yet, but have used the Model A koupe bare bones interior panels in a '29 Model A Roadster. The trick with the rear panel is to place either side in the body as far back as possible, then holding the body on its side hold the opposite interior panel a bit forward, canting the rear panel between the two sides... slip the rear panel in the slots while sliding the most forward of the two panels back into place locking the rear panel between the interior panels. As you have already realized playing with moving parts, even before final assembly, kan be a bit testy! -KK

    Nice Model A Koupe, Brother! -KK How did you find the kit to build? (Other than step 8...) Easy? OK? or somewhat difficult? btw how did you resolve the problem with the interior panels?

    Update on the '29 TNR:

    1948 Lincoln Mercury Ford UTE Glen, you nailed it! The continental kit really adds the air of prestige that comes along with the Lincoln moniker. -KK

    Great examples of insane conceptual inspiration & execution! Great fun!! -KK

    The pencil line across the back edge of the new opening will be removed initially and replaced after the rest of the opening is completed... -KK

    Looking back at the original tonneau cover and forward to the new one... After a short conversation, @Rocking Rodney Rat suggested a more tapered opening and not quit as far forward as the old tonneau cover opening... Sketched up a template for the leading edge of the new opening... Better, but not quite right, yet... This inspired this: Yep! The 22 Jr clear windshield might just fit the bill... Here's the final plan: Maybe even recess the glass into the cover...

    Several days/weeks later, a conversation with @Speedpro brought the tonneau topic back to the surface. The recreation tonneau cover was kool, but maybe not the right cover for the '29 TNR. Well, enter the "BRICK" hard-shell tonneau cover:
