Thanks Chris

Here a couple more views that I really like. Forgot to mention the reason why I used a reddish background on previously posted photos is because the full scale car was photographed with a similar background for The Rodder's Journal.

I was not happy with the original photos so took some more but found the editing function did not work as expected

Thanks Curtis - I have always liked seeing engines through the louvers on full scale hot rods so wanted to try and replicate that. I am kind of disappointed with how dusty these photos turned out so plan to take some more.

This model is now completed and is Under Glass Info on the chassis can be found at

This is a replica of Mike O'Neil's car which was the first Deuce Coupe to appear in The Rodders Journal in bare steel in the first issue and completed in #8. It was also the first Rodders Journal poster car.

Fantastically well done interior and over all for that matter.

I was not sure what I was going to see when I opened this post but I was pleasantly surprised. I really like your kustom.

You really captured the pro-touring vibe. I like it.

Just saw this. I really like how the staggered chop works out. Thanks for sharing.

Great story and project. Love it !!

Absolutely maximum points for this one in the concours d'model-car-elegance

Looking forward to your future builds as I really dig this one

It is great to see this outstanding Deuce model as there has not been many hot rods posted here lately.

Beautiful model. I have always loved the look of a stock Model A roadster

This was my take on the Little Deuce Coupe song versus album cover

Both very nicely done and good looking

Very well built Merc. I especially like the looks of your engine compartment and dash.

I got the AMT Double 1925 T kit when it first came out in the early sixties but I know nothing about this 1923 T kit although I see lots for sale on-line. Can anyone fill me in on the history of this kit. It looks like it has some pretty cool parts.

These are the two posters for Deuce Days in Scale. The 3W was built by Russ Ferguson and I built the other three. The roadster and sedan are replicas of cars that have appeared at Northwest Deuce Days both of which have been hot rods since the sixties in the Greater Vancouver BC area. The maximum registration of 1400 for the outdoor car show was reached months ago.

Thanks Steve Thanks Steve. Your dedication and hard word for the hobby and to GSL in particular is greatly appreciated

Very well built and great looking.

Very nice to see. I have seen one in a friend's display case. They are very impressive models so say the least.

Looking forward to seeing your photos. From what I have seen, it was a great show with many incredible models.
