Thanks Denis - I am glad you like it as it was you who put me on the correct path when I started construction. I am now working on a '32 Cab pickup conversion from a '34 and it certainly is not as straight forward as I originally thought.

There were 593 Roadster [Open Cab] Pickups produced in 1932. A ‘soft-top” roof was available and although it could not be folded, it was removable. Grill bars for commercial vehicles were stamped as part of the shell and painted black but passenger car shells and grills were available as an option. Also painted black on commercial vehicles were the headlight buckets and bars. Windshield frames were painted body colour. If spare tire was ordered it had to be a side mount. Fuel tank was under the seats. Most pickups were equipped with four cylinder engines. Ford used up left over Model A door hardware on commercial vehicles. I started with a Lindberg/AMT ’34 Ford Pickup. The roof was cut off and the chassis and running boards shortened a scale 6 inches. The cowl and windshield are from a Revell ’32 Roadster as are the hood and grill shell. The side contours on the body were done with Evergreen half round. The model was build basically stock but mildly hot-rodded with a souped up flathead and lowered stance. The side mount that came with the kit was a styrene tire, which I smoothed to give a tire cover look. The twin taillights are 32 passenger car style. The main body paint is Tamiya Blue with Testor’s Black enamel fenders and Tamiya French Blue wheels.

Very classy looking truck. Nice,

Great bit of history. Good to see the two generations of Corvairs together. I always thought they were pretty neat cars and these are very neat models.

You did a wonderful job capturing the late 50s early 60 look. Love it.

Thanks guys. We can only hope this Deuce kit will be available again when Revell of Germany formulates its plans for the future.

Yes they are kit taillights with some clear red on them.

Yes they are kit taillights with some clear red on them. Other than the frame being part of the fenders, I have always thought this is a pretty nice kit which definitely builds a good looking full fendered rod. I have been toying with the idea of building a replica of Gray Baskerville's Deuce as featured in the current issue of the Rodder's Journal. It could be built almost directly from the box with some detailing.

Tough looking Deuce. Great paint

DI decided to re-do a 1/24 Monogram Deuce Roadster I had originally built 11 years ago in order to replicate one of the four cars featured on the Deuce Days 2019 t-shirt. The changes made were different wheels, tires, headlights, hood, dash and steering wheel, chromed the bumper brackets and front suspension, added door & trunk handles, added, grill shell cap & emblem, different license plates and added a horn and rear spreader bar.

Great color selection to build this great kit that we can only wish for its reissue someday

Great looking HOT Rod in all respects

Great color combination. Was not sure how I would like the black wire wheels but when I saw them they look just right.

Very creative concept and design which has been beautifully executed for both the car and boat

I cut the valence from the fender assembly to give the look of fenders and running boards being temporarily removed

Very nicely built AV8 replica hiboy hot rod. You should add a photo to the Group 29 thread below. Another reminder that this kit just has to come back and the 32 Sedan for that matter.

Great to see the revival of this thread. Good to see all the additional 29's whether Revell or AMT. Come to think of it, I have a non " newest" Revell '29 to post. This my attempt at building a Race of Gentlemen style car. It is actually part Revell and part AMT although not the "newer" Revell Roadster. The body behind the doors is AMt but the rest is from the Revell '29 Pickup kit which gives the opening doors and articulated hood.

Like it? I love it!! Fantastic restyling and construction of a less than great kit.

You have checked all the right boxes for building a tough looking Deuce which this definitely is.

Looks like a beautiful kit. I built a model of this car a few years ago in 1/25 scale using Academy body converted back to 289. Looking forward to seeing more.

Deuce Days was always an every three year event and 2016 was supposed to be the last one but the organizer was talked into doing it again 2019 this time with city and provincial help. If all goes well it might even happen again in 2022!! There is a caravan of hot rods that come from LA so some of the same cars will be at both the LA Roadster Show and Deuce Days. Maybe I can send you a poster for your event next year. It was sure cool seeing Gene Winfield checking things out. That guy continues to live such an incredible life.

Gorgeous rendition done perfectly

I like this a lot. These Sevilles may never be a valuable collector car but they are historically significant.

Cool car. Cool story. Very cool model. Nicely done.

Hi Art - Finally got around to checking this out. Definitely an amazing model show. Congratulations. Your show keeps getting bigger and better. I have started working towards the second Deuce Days in Scale taking place July 2019. I hoping for more spectators next year.
