    Not one of my favorite threads... this IS my FAVORITE THREAD! To be watching over your shoulder and seeing the krispness and attention to detail down to the most minute/nth degree! Even to the eventual unseen parts that none of us will ever see again after it's up on it's rubber side! I know how much fun it is being a teacher... but being a student here, under the tutelage of Professor Stansfield, feels more like a privilege! -KK

    While spending most of my time concentrating on the '29 Track Nose Roadster I had an epiphany! The conclusion that I came to was the rear tires do not fit the new XPU body. So, I reached out to Hendley's Machine Shop. John said he'd take a look at what I wanted to do. Some may recall the last set of rims he did for me: Saltster Rims Front & Back I mailed the rear tires from the Monogram Black Widow Hot Rod And, as with the Saltster Front & Back Rims, the rims are from the Revell '57 Chevy Belair Little known fact: The front tires in the Monogram Black Widow Hot Rod are the "Big"s to the front tires from the Revell '29 Roadster "Littles"s! So, back to John's answer: Stage one complete... Salties turned down to.760" Going with aluminum hoops to fill the difference! Kan't wait to see them beside the XPU!?. -KK

    Had a go at combining the Orange Crate Seat and the '30 Coupe Bomber Seat... A little filing & sanding later: No need for the dash... Why carve it out when you can cut it off! Easy peasy! When bonded to the body it will reinforce the body and brace the inner bones! This is stacking up to being a slick track nosed roadster crossing somewhere between the salt flats and the GNRS... Now we'll have to give more attention to the power plant and drive train... -KK

    Did I not tell you guys? I've known Paul for his level of detail and outstanding paint jobs for over three decades and he's just getting better! Have to share this with you... @Speedprodrove from Montana to Georgia to be a part of the ACME NNL last November. He brought his 1940 Willys Pro Street pickup that I know has to be at least twenty-five years old or more! Take a look on page 44 of the latest issue of MCM. -KK

    '29 Track Nose Roadster '41 Lincoln V-12 Flathead

    SC V-12 = Two SBC's

    Remember the plan to bolt the V-12 to the firewall... here's an example of an adaptor created to add a late model standard transmission to the aft of the '41 Lincoln V-12: Pulled the old flathead from the deuce sedan... the bellhousing will be used to adapt the TKO500 to the V-12 tail: After lining out the areas that will need to be cleaned up on the stock Monogram '41 Lincoln block: exhaust headers and crossover pipe, manifold and transmission, decided to order the '41 Lincoln V-12 from The Parts Box: A lot less work to get the V-12 block ready to go in the roadster! -KK

    Been here most of the time and truly understand the definition of tenacity is found in the dedication applied by one who's seen the finish line move. More than once! As any build comes together regardless of who's at the bench... re-do's or do-over's or my best one: I knew I should have done it that way the first time! Usually after the third time! RRR & I were recently talking about how we visit our fotki site and I've even visited other's as well! Most often to review how he/I/we had done something on a previous model. Lately my most favorite pastime is following builds here and on the inter-web at large. -KK
