  1. The Replicas & Miniatures Auburn dash was definitely a great addition for a roadster.
  2. Thanks Mike. I look forward to eventually see your version.
  3. Very nicely built Roadster. I recently got a Coupe kit but really want a roadster.
  4. You are doing a fantastic job back dating to traditional with your amazing 3-D parts. I really like that the 3-D parts are a darker color making them so apparent when installed.
  5. Thanks Oliver Thanks Bills Thanks Greg - Yes I agree it is surprising Fred Cady did not make decals for the McMullen. He was such a fabulous decal maker. I have used many of his decals for racing cars and have a good collection for future projects including the California kid.
  6. Excellent build and so well photographed
  7. Great job. I like your enhancements to the engine. Cool collection of cars.
  8. So far so good. You have made a great start on this project.
  9. Great to see this classic
  10. A few more photos
  11. Thanks Russell Thanks Carl
  12. Extremely well built Beautiful
  13. I really enjoyed reading your post and seeing your model. I have always considered the lightweight the best looking E-Type
  14. Your model deserves all the preceding comments with which I concur.
  15. Great rendition of a classic kit which I built when it was first released over 60 years ago. Yours is infinitely better !!
  16. Very convincing. Would fit into the Field of Dreams on the Rust Valley Restorers TV show.
  17. The Model A beam axle is actually up to 7mm wider than the 32 Ford tube axle from hub to hub depending on how the brakes are mounted whether disc or drum as can be seen in the photo. I have used the Model A axle on two Deuce builds and in both cases had to make sure the rear axle was of the appropriate width.
  18. The Model A kit beam axle has a wider track than the Deuce kit so if that is used a new or revised rear axle is needed.
  19. @Speedpro 's '29 Cab Pickup is surely going to be one of the finest ever built in scale. Looking forward to it Under Glass.
  20. Great project. Enjoyed reading the background and your connection to this very impressive kit. I know it will be immaculate when you perform your magic on it.
  21. Great project. The body in the MPC looks very nice. I was not aware of this kit.
  22. I am really looking forward to this kit being available. It's kind of funny - I have built built three Duval Deuce Roadsters - two using the cowl and Duval windshield from the AMT Phantom Vickie and one using the great Duval windshield and roof from Replicas & Miniatures so I will likely be inclined to use a different windshield when I eventually build this kit. I am really favoring like the custom So-Cal windshield. I managed to fabricate one a few years ago but would sure like to have one available in a kit or from the after-market. The owner of the real car now has that model so I could not even make a master. And yes I sure wish they could have mastered a new beam axle, even better a drilled beam axle. Maybe with the next revision !! I should mention the Model A kit beam axle has a wider track than the Deuce kit so if that is used a new or revised rear axle is needed.
  23. What fun build and so well done. Kids [and grown-ups] are going to love seeing at Model Car Shows.
