Thanks very much for comments. I really enjoyed this project.

Great looking 35. A friend printed one up and I was very impressed. It is the short of file that might convince me to get a printer

Fantastic looking traditional hot rod. I especially like seeing the Navarro lettering on the speed equipment

Thanks everyone for your comments. I once had an urge to build a 1/1 Deuce Hi-Boy Roadster which led me to cut the fenders off a 1/24 Monogram Deuce roadster as an antidote for that dream. The box art on the current 29 Roadster kit inspired this model as the hot rod depicted sort of looks like the guy driving it could have built it himself. I have visited Roy Brizio's shop where he often builds relatively simple hot rods but to a very high standard.

I really like the components in the Revell Model A kits including the Deuce frame so incorporated them in this '32 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster. The Model A kit includes some nice trunk detail with a battery box and fuel tank which would otherwise be hidden so I made the trunk openable with the louvered lid from the ’32 5W. OTHER ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONS To lower the front-end, I had to make a number of modifications which included reducing the thickness of the spring and positioning it closer to the axle. I also flattened the front cross member. ’40 Ford dash from ’32 5W with a ’40 Ford steering wheel from an AMT kit Grill shell, hood & radiator from Revell ’32 kit Firewall from Phantom Vickie Mated interior portion of the Model A floor to the ’32 floor Windshield frame chopped Rear roll pan added Tamiya Pearl Blue and Bright Red

Congratulations on an outstanding model of such a significant racing car.

I’m Great looking 5-Window. I especially like the green paint and the blown Hemi.

You built a real beauty.

A real Excaliber. Had not seen one for decades.

Very good looking Acura. Well built.

Very impressive model

Congratulations for two museum quality models.

Great build. I love the photos of the model on the salt. Very well done in all respects.

Looks fantastic. The MOMO livery is one of my favourites of all time.

Congratulations on a very nice build of maybe the most obscure race car of my favourite race car driver. So far I have built 9 models associated with Dan with many more on the want to build list.

Going to be a beauty.

Great to see an early '50's Pontiac. Very well done.

Great concept and execution!! Well done.

I like it !! Great combination of parts. A genuine hot rod.

#39 - I had an already painted body so decided to make a more contemporary show & go Deuce. The blown HEMI uses parts from the Revell Deuce 5-W and Willys Street Rod kits. The Duval body comes from the most recent Revell Roadster kit with the interior from the Rat Roaster. Out back is a fully chromed Replicas & Miniatures Winters Quick-Change. The scallops are kit decals over Tamiya Candy Lime Green. The huge rear slicks came from my parts box.

#38 - This model is a tribute to the daily driven Deuce Roadster of late and lamented hot rod journalist and photographer Gray Baskerville. The model is based on the 1/24 Monogram kit with the only modifications being lowering, stock hood sides and custom nerf bars. The paint is Tamiya Red with Satin clear while the primer is Tamiya Hull Brown.

Very well built and extremely attractive.

I really like the colour combo.

Fabulous retrospective
