Stepping into the subject matter at hand... work, under the direction of @Rocking Rodney Ratthe modifications to the 5W's wheelhouse continue: Space out 7 points to drill holes in the visor pre-drill the pilot holes with my favorite pin vice... Step the bit size up a notch... using my antique no-name pin vice found at a local garage sale thirty years ago and it was old back then! Last turn with a hand brace and bit to counter sink the outer edges of each orifice... Even out the inside diameter with my jeweler's round rattail file... The center hole is placed intentionally to catch the viewer's eye! There are 7 "Lucky Seven" lightening holes across the visor about to be finished... Wrap a torn piece of fine sandpaper around a wooden toothpick & turn slowly until smooth! -KK

Hold on to your grab rails, Kiddies... @Rocking Rodney Rat has finally agreed to do the Killer A Koupe - ACME Co-Build! REVEL '30 FORD Model A Coupe: RRR opened a fresh unspoiled kit and promptly lost the greenhouse!?. We talked about a couple different power plants and RRR started gathering parts: This is where RRR starts getting all up in the build... actually a bit excited! This is where his missing top became my part of the mission goal... my orders "Chop It!" Oh, and send the passenger's bucket seat out of the AMT '33 Willys... Laid out the first step: Traced the cut down tape: Removed the tape pattern and started alternating cuts... this is where "leave" v "take" the line matters! We'll leave this here for now... Big twist is yet to come!! -KK&-RRR

Mighty fine start on an all-Ford Model A Roadster, Brother!

Check this out: In recognition of Rodney's new '29A Highboy - here's two from my collection.... Thanks @tim boyd! RRR won't be able to get under his Red Sox cap! -KK

Model A thread?

Here she rests giving thought to the next major process'... 5W Deuce Louvered Trunk Lid will replace the '29's Stock Deck Lid... Already plugged the rear panel... But, it's what's coming up front that will be the biggest test of the former construction! -KK

@Rocking Rodney Rathas held your contribution to our hobby in very high esteem! I too have referred to you as one of my modeling heroes and this forum has brought so many modelers together from around the world! -KK

'29 TNR Blower Nose Shot

Was I wrong? ABSOLUTELY

And I've seen proof! The kolor is striking!!

Been away or I would have dropped in on this tidy little project sooner! B-400 has been one of those that has been on my bucket list a couple of times!! I'll be back to check in again...

Things you won't see when the '29 TNR is fully assembled: neodymium micro magnets attach the frame to the belly pan Trans X-Member neodymium micro magnets align the trans adaptor to the TKO500

@Speedprohas a way with the fine detail work that emerges from his paint booth!
