Some time ago the late great Dave Fletcher (R.I.P.) and I worked on an idea of turning a '29 Ford roadster into a 5ive window coupe. @carnut aka Mike Kerns sent me a few of Dave's W.I.P.s: One especially caught my eye: This body made me look twice as to how it appeared to come together! Background search located these line drawings with measurements from the original Fords: The numbers tell the story, but the outcome has it differences! Here what Dave cobbled together based on the Revell '29 Roadster and the Revell '30 Coupe kits: A later iteration looked like this: Following a bit of thought the combination of possible donors to bashing together Revell kit parts to come up with a '29 Ford Coupe "Look-A-Like" utilizing the cowl from the Revell '29 Closed Cab - Roadster Pickup: Doing a few measurements found the kit parts could be merged together to create a '29 looking 5ive window: Where it goes from here depends on how this looks after it gets cleaned up... -KK

LEAD! As a child of the '50s that's all we had! Playing outside 'til dark, riding old bikes - yup! No helmets, either! Getting a drink from a garden hose & running barefoot from early morning until called in for dinner! -KK

1930 Ford "The Killer 'A' Koupe"
Kit Karson replied to Rocking Rodney Rat's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
@Dennis Lacy & I had encouraged RRR to build the 1930 Ford "The Killer 'A' Koupe" as a Sick Week contender pulling a utility trailer with all of the needed race equipment stacked in it... to that end, I found the perfect kit with a "Haul-Away" trailer! Should be arriving at the K&R Kustoms+Rods Hollywood shop tomorrow! -KK -

Bet the front tires fit under the pinched fenders a whole lot better! -KK
