  1. WOW and I mean a BIG WOW. That is one super gorgeous BIG DEUCE. Absolutely Love it.
  2. WOW - This is going to look fantastic. Really like your colour choices and mods you have done. The headliner is very attractive.
  3. I really like where you are going with this build.
  4. So far so good. I really like the roof removed look.
  5. I have my Deuces ready to take to the show next weekend
  6. Gorgeous Deuce. I agree with Bill that this kit has great proportions from which very attractive full fendered roadsters can be built.
  7. Two super nice builds. It is amazing how a few subtle changes can completely change the look of what essentially are two very similar hot rods. I really like them both. They sort of remind of an old cartoon where the main character had an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other.
  8. Thanks Misha for making this post. I am sure looking forward to this year's event and it looks like the weather is going to finally get more summer like. See you soon.
  9. Totally gorgeous A roadster that captures a timeless look.
  10. I really like your Jag as I have always been attracted to the shape of the early XKs roofs.
  11. Thanks Tom. Happy Fourth.
  12. You can count on it. I plan to take lots of photos.
  13. Love the Color. Great looking Deuce.
  14. Thanks everyone for your comments. Two weeks from today is Northwest Deuce Days - which in past editions has been the largest gathering of 32 Fords anywhere. Me and my buddies will be putting on a model car show at the same time so it is going to be a fabulous day.
  15. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing this Deuce finished or not at Deuce Days in Scale.
  16. This Deuce Coupe was built in the early 1960’s style with a Chevy theme when Candy Apple Red with lots of chrome and white was a popular combination for hot rods that spent more time at car shows then cruising. Other sixties indicators are the narrow white walls, drag slicks, hubcaps and the higher stance. The Chevy theme includes the 348 tri-power W-engine from the AMT ’59 El Camino which also supplied the hubcaps. The ’58 Biscayne taillights are from the Ala Kart as is the coil suspension, axles, exhaust system and steering wheel. Evergreen V-groove styrene was used underneath and on the running boards to simulate upholstery for a car show display look and to go with the Replicas & Miniatures tuck and roll interior. Additionally, the door handle holes and cowl vent were filled and the door hinges were removed. Inspired by the Mazmanian Willys, the rear and side window are tinted red. The paint is House of Kolor.
  17. I always like seeing builds of Dan Gurney race cars and yours is fabulous.
  18. This is my most recent Deuce roadster built in preparations for the Deuce Days in Scale Model Car Show in Victoria BC Canada July 17. It is a tribute but not a total replica of the McMullen Deuce.
  19. Really like the combination of the neat rear bumpers, side pipes and big diameter wheels/low profile tires a basically stock body.
  20. Cool traditional mild custom with very today wheels
  21. I gotta say the patriotic tri-color looks very good on your Deuce.
  22. Great project. Looking forward to seeing the parking lot filled with cars.
  23. Thanks Gregg for sending a replacement 212 for the one that got lost in the North America postal system. Great issue. Looking forward to 213.
  24. Dazzlingly attractive !!
