1960’s Traditional Blown ‘23 T Bucket UPDATE 10/31/22
Kit Karson replied to Dennis Lacy's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Almost what I had imagined, but far more than my pee pickin' mind could have pulled together, Brother! First, who'd a thunk the 1/24 T Roadster could be hopped up with better options!?. Second, ADL you have a style!! Your builds have a certain flavor and the stance of each complements the vintage being represented. Very well thought out and hanging on every stroke of paint and finish!!! -KK -

Well Done! -KK -
Lots of talent showing up here in a LONG overdue look at our "Long Roof" Deuces! Great finished examples and a little food for thought WIPs on view, too! This Deuce has a story behind it and I'm going to have to ask @Rocking Rodney Ratto fill in a couple of forgotten facts. The original body came to me as a previously started 2dr sedan by a friend RRR met down in Florida several years ago: '41 Lincoln Rims & Caps wrapped in NAZCA M12 rubber bands under R&MoMD Fenders with smooth running boards... Loot & Hardware piled up inside... Almost sad that the interior has to hideout away from view...

Absolutely your BEST choice of parts, Brother! Out of all the steps involved in building a model car... collecting the RIGHT parts is my favorite! -KK How 'bout another?

WOW! Things have changed here, Joe! The kit arrived today! Box is a little wrinkled... But, the box is not what this is about... Body Molded in: WHITE YES!! Short back story, @Rocking Rodney Ratmentioned he had a Coupe molded in white... but, the inner fenders are cut out for the updated IFS: btw the IFS is also under the Convertible, too! The orange inner fenders came from the original '37 Sedan: and, the inner fenders do not have the cut outs: Sure enough, opened the box of the white sedan and find these: Who knew that the '37 Sedan had the IFS? So, I've put the unopened parts back in the box, put the lid back on it & set it on the shelf. When I checked in to update the progress, finding your response set things in motion! Hope to hear from you, soon!! -KK

While looking for a pair of REVELL 1937 FORD SEDAN inner fenders in white, went ahead and carved out what will be heat removing louvers at the aft end of the '29 TNR's belly pan: @Dennis Lacy& @Rocking Rodney Ratcaught up with me this morning, yep, they live on opposite sides of the continent yet with their help the white inner fenders were located! Thanks, guys!! Be here the first of the month! -KK

I know that these Monogram '37 Ford Inner Fenders are available in white styrene, but until a pair kan be located, here's my idea: Placing the louvers inside out in the tail of the belly pan to further add to eliminating heat inside the belly pan might look like this: Or, maybe like this: We'll see...

Been noodling the tail end of the '29 TNR's belly pan... Pierson Bros Coupe came up in a conversation with @Dennis Lacy& @Rocking Rodney Rat with regards of evacuating the heat trapped inside of the belly pan... Had planned on something along the lines of a winged heat diffuser instead of a roll pan that wouldn't help relieving the hot air flow: Following the same plan as the belly pan... Liked the fit of the leftover Revell '32 Orange Crate Belly Pan piece backed up to the same piece used in the '29 TNR's belly pan... Had to see these parts married together... Let's see how this might look like flipped over... Has potential... I've held on to another idea for quite some time now as to how to finish the skirts on either side of the differential cover! We'll go there next time.. -KK

K&R Kustoms+Rods Wicked Killer A Koupe
Kit Karson replied to Kit Karson's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
After a short discussion it was agreed to that the two pieces that make up the greenhouse would be better served being assembled by @Rocking Rodney Ratonsite. Everything above the belt line is crated and has been shipped along with a few aftermarket products and a couple sets of 12-spoke wheels & tires! -KK
