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

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.

Man Steve that’s looking real fine! that’s going to be real hard to give up but at least you’ll always be able to make your brother in law is looking after it. If not you can take back and be the caretaker! Russ

Great Job Pierre! I also followed your WIP and loved your surgery to make more accurate. I enjoyed your comment about the factory hiro kits. I have both the early and late versions and after building the Aston Martin DP214 think they will stay unbuilt! Russ

Most Excellent job! A real 1st class job. Love the fabric seat

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

Beautiful job Phil! Look forward to seeing it in person. Great representation of original and awesome paint finish Russ

I like this topic as Grant is from the city I live in and a lot of his family is still here. I have this as one of my holy grail kits but cant bring myself to build!

Good Day, Does anyone know if this particular grill was ever made in kit form?

Your right not what I was expecting but a beautiful example of beautiful car well done!

Keep up the good Misha! I’m in the same boat with my 5 window replica for deuce days. Although it’s all painted nothing ever goes together properly when final assembly comes around? Russ

Looks like a great start Misha, If your going to Steve’s on the weekend and your doing a caddy engine I have some cool 3d printed valve covers for you.keep up the good work. Russ

They look good. so what’s the next step and is it better to order a bunch so print table is full let me know
