Thanks all for your comments. This was one of thosequick builds that actually worked out!

After a great show of real hot rods I realized I havenât done many full rendered Deuces. This made me take stock of stuff in my stockpile and decided to use the AMT 32 ford roadster for my build. I know the issues with the look of it being sectioned but I think this worked to my advantage. My goal was for a gentleman/ elegant style Deuce. I used the revell interior , wheels and tires and radius arms. It is a curb side as I soon realized the hemi in kit only works without hood sides đ¤ˇđźââď¸ The paint is a Ford mustang color mixed up at local auto body shop. Feel free to let me know if description meets results

Thanks for all comments! Just wanted to post a couple of pics post Deuce Day in scale. I was honoured with peopleâs choice , favourite hot rod and favourite Deuce. I was also able to catch up and show the car to the owners of the real car and they were very interested and took many pics of there own. Very cool for me! Iâm not the best with pics but I think theses are little better representation of the real car.

Well I finally finished this model and pretty happy how it turned out. This build started 3 years ago when this car showed up at deuce days. I was smitten with this car right away and as it turns out so was the real car world as it has received multiple awards and media coverage since it's launch at 2022 Deuce Days. I took as many photos as I could including the owner name tag. After the show I googled the owner and we emailed and talked about the car and my intentions of wanting to replicate. He graciously sent some leftover paint and leather sample for me to work with. Some of the unique features of this car are the pines winter grill and the wheels. At the time nothing existed in kit form so off to the 3d print vendors and the grill was produced by Texas 3d customs and the wheels and tires crafted by 3D scale parts, the roof is from Ed at Drag city. The remaining parts were from the re issue of the Stacey David roadster. I'm hoping to meet up with the owners at this year's Deuce Days and see what they think! Thanks for looking

crushed body (Revell Uhlenhaut coupe)
m3fan replied to fiatboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Hi Jeffrey, I do believe that kit is being reissued so if you have some patience you may just be able to contact Revell for a new body once released. -
Another idea is Revell made the I beam axles wider in the 29 and 30 model A's and if Iceman used these to model from that would be why.

m3fan replied to Steve H's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Hey Steve, Nice Work as always. I too also built my dad a replica of our family car 1969 Olds 442 red on red. It was a fun build and was well received as I know yours will be. Enjoy the process and will be following. Russ -
Hello Everyone, I was wondering if there is a resin or 3d printed Ford Powerstroke engine out there. I did "google" and all that I could find is the Meng kit and i'm not paying hundreds of $ for a kit I need the engine out of. Thanks for any help, Russ
