A fabulous job on a beautiful car. You certainly did it justice. David G.

I've been playing around with this one for a few days. It's likely to be another one of my box-stock builds. The wheels are in the color I plan to use. Not one of my typical color choices but I want something that fits the time period. I also want it to be a rich color. Something that looks chewy... like taffy. Although seeing this one with the blue wheels, black primer and chrome trim makes me wonder if I might change my plans. Yeah, this definitely has a Rat Rod feel to it right now. Making this one as a Rat Rod is tempting, but I think I'll stick with my original plan. Maybe As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Thank you Peter. You are absolutely correct Tom. The only thing AMT missed was the bumper step which I added. Now you have me wondering if all the roadsters had rumble seats or if having a rumble seat is what made it a roadster. Thank you for your comment Tom. Thanks Phil, They were indeed a handsome design. Thank you David. I usually tend to build stock or junker, rat or post-apocalyptic wasteland style. Any way, I'm glad you like it and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. David G.

One of my favorite pickups, always liked the waterfall grille. Excellent color choice and nice details, well done! David G.

Looks good, nice detail work on the badges and scripts. David G.

Thanks Bruce. All things considered I'm pleased with the way it came out. Thanks David, glad you like it. Also, I almost forgot my traditional Display Case Shot. Thanks again to everyone for all the kind comments. David G.

Looks great! David G.

A change for the better. A tremendous improvement to the profile. David G.

Cool color combination, sort gives it a Rolls Royce feel. David G.

Off to a good start! David G.

Thank you David, I like to build stock whenever I can. Customs are great but it was the stock vehicle that inspired the customs Thanks Mark, I'm glad you like it. Thank you Doug. Based on your avatar photo, you seem to be a fab of vintage Fords. Thank you Peter. Thanks Chris. Thank you Bob. I couldn't help but notice that your avatar photo. It reminds me of a model that I built a couple of years ago. Thanks All, David G.

I finished this one last week and finally found the proper combination of time and energy to get some photos posted. While building this kit, I noticed that the left front bumper bracket was higher than the right so I heated it with hot tap water and bent it fairly close to where it should be. I found out during final assembly that the misaligned bumper bracket was a symptom of a more complicated situation. The one piece fender assembly was not exactly warped. The issue was caused by what seemed to be a misalignment of the die. The fender assembly seemed to sit squarely on the table but the left front corner was higher than the right and the right rear was very slightly than the left. If I pushed the left corner of the frame up to meet the fender assembly then the left front tire came up off the table. I ended up finding a kind of sweet spot in the middle and shimmed the right side of the bumper up to more closely match the height of the left. It ain't poifekt but iddle doo. And here we see the classic roadster profile. In researching this project, every 1929 Ford Model A Roadster I saw had a step pad attached to the right rear bumper bracket. The model kit didn't provide one so I made my own- from a nail head. The color scheme on this one is taken almost directly from the box art, right down to the dark red leather seat. Here's a better view of that step I cobbled together. Here's a photo for the promotional brochure. If cars had faces, this face would be that of a friendly, dependable dog waiting patiently and happily for whatever comes next. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Roger that! Thanks for all the work you do for the rest of us Dave. David G.

Fantastic mod work, paint looks great and even the bit of interior I can see looks excellent. In "The Biz" we would call this an Executive or Business Limo. David G.

Nicely done! David G.

Same here except that I took the PayPal route. I have learned more about building models from this forum and its accompanying magazine than I have from all other sources combined. I truly enjoy coming to this forum and reading the posts and seeing all the photos that community members upload. It would be sad if all that went away. That's why I offer my support, not derision, pessimism and skepticism. Support- for something that I very much wish to see continue. Thanks, David G.

Great color choice, excellent work on the interior with that decal technique, very solid looking build. David G.

Spectacular work! David G.

The words I have cannot be shared here. David G.

I finished this kit the other day so this is the final update for this one. As soon as I get some final photos I'll post them in the "Under Glass" section. I have all the itty bits attached to the body except the spare wheel. The kit directions instructed me to glue the front license plate holder directly to the headlight crossbar. I could not see that working out very well, so I made a plate backing of my own, drilled it out and attached it with a couple of home made wire hangers. Drilled out the holes in the fenders, built and mounted the taillights. Here's this photo just because I like it. Thanks to all of you who provided your thoughts and comments. Everybody else, thanks for taking the time to stop and look. I hope you all enjoyed the show David G.

Well built! Nice color- has kind of a 70's vibe. David G.

"Coolest car ever, or over the top toy." Is there a difference? David G.

Ok, still working on the Ford. I'm nearly done with it, just snapping up the little fiddly bits. I should be able to get the final glue-up done tomorrow afternoon. In the mean time, here are the photos of the left overs from the nearly double kit. There's no editing or cropping, they're just snapped and uploaded. I'm sure that most everybody is aware of the issues that some of us have been having with uploading photos. I've been trying to upload these directly since Sunday with no luck, so today I decided to fire up my ol' PB account just so I get these posted. I hope it works. Enjoy. I'll post more of the "work in progress" photos later. Thanks, David G.

I get the exact same error no matter the size of the photos. I've been getting it since Sunday. David G.

Very cool pick up, thanks for sharing it. David G.
